Serena Williams’ ‘Mother, Champion Queen’ Statement Outfit at French Open 2019 Is Winning Hearts on the Internet

Serena Williams has been making statements with her outfits, ever since she was banned from wearing a bodysuit while playing in French Open. Serena Williams had worn a Black Panther-inspired catsuit that made her feel like "warrior princess" from Wakanda. But the attire failed to impress the authorities and was banned for future French Open tournaments. However, Williams known to be extremely outspoken, gave a fitting reply by wearing a tutu skirt for the next tournament. After that, she has always been making statements by her sartorial choices. This time the tennis queen has returned to the court by wearing an attire that has sent out a strong message. The outfit, a statement poncho, has words "mother, champion, queen" written on it. Her French Open look was designed by Virgil Abloh and Nike. The American fashion designer, entrepreneur and DJ has been the artistic director of Louis Vuitton's men's wear collection since March 2018 and this attire was his vision. Nike and Serena Williams Say ‘Dream Crazier’ to Female Athletes in Epic Ad Ahead of Women’s Day 2019.
