Serena Williams: From Tennis Icon to Red Carpet Royalty

A Designer Fit for a Champion: Serena in David Koma
She strutted her stuff in a one-legged catsuit courtesy of David Koma, who, as per Vogue, would have been a tennis player if he wasn’t a fashion designer.
Known for his body-contouring silhouettes, the London-based designer comes from an athletic family—his mother is a former gymnast, his dad plays tennis, and his brother is a professional tennis player.
David Koma has dressed Russian tennis champ Maria Sharapova many times, and now another tennis ace, Serena Williams, has become the latest member of his fan club.

The form-fitting catsuit highlighted Serena’s toned build. It features a cold-shoulder silhouette, a high neck, a pair of opera gloves, and a bejeweled bodice.
While the asymmetrical outfit covered her left leg in black fabric, Serena wore a stocking and a thigh-high sock on her other leg. The stocking is adorned with jewels that match the embellishments on the Spring 2022 creation.
