Serena Williams’ Wimbledon Outfits Through the Years: From Her First Tournament in 1998 to Her Final On-court Look
Throughout her professional tennis career, Serena Williams served a lot of style on the court. The Wyn Beauty founder and 23-time Grand Slam champion merged athleticism and fashion in each match she played, acing her ability to marry Nike and Puma looks with her own style sensibility and quintessential verve.
The Championships, Wimbledon, was the ideal tournament for Williams to showcase her proclivity for fashion, and the tournament charted her style evolution over the course of more than two decades. The tournament’s history of fashioning tennis whites allowed Williams to try new styles, and even bring a few pops of color to the court.
