No wonder she takes pride in it.
Just as Serena Williams shared her journey to embracing her ‘curves’ with the world this week, the tennis superstar ensured everyone could witness exactly what she meant. In Miami, Florida, on Wednesday, the 32-year-old showcased her muscular yet shapely physique in full display.
Enjoying a lively day at the beach with friends, Serena alternated between sunbathing on beach chairs and sipping drinks in the gentle waves, clearly having a great time. Her figure was accentuated by a black and patterned bikini, pulled high over her hips to highlight her curvaceous posterior, which rivaled even Kim Kardashian’s.
Contrasting with her bottoms, she wore a metallic blue underwire halter top that struggled to contain her ample chest. Opting not to swim, Serena left her long auburn hair loose with a black scarf tied as a wide headband. She adorned herself with silver jewelry including a heart-shaped pendant, a watch, large elliptical earrings, and a belly chain, complemented by a full face of makeup and black square glasses to shield her eyes from the sun.
Serena’s friend also flaunted her impressive curves in a neon yellow retro-inspired one-piece swimsuit, showing their close friendship with constant smiles throughout their beach outing. The ladies even posed with a fan while enjoying frozen margaritas in the water.
Despite societal pressures, Serena expressed in Fitness magazine this week that she has grown to love her curves over time. Reflecting on her youth, she once felt she should have a leaner, athlete-like physique, but now embraces her natural shape. She credits her fans’ support for helping her realize her beauty and uniqueness.
Besides tennis, where she currently holds titles like the French Open, US Open, and Olympic ladies singles champion, Serena enjoys a variety of sports, particularly dance. She emphasizes the importance of mixing up her workouts, which include running, biking, elliptical training, yoga, and dancing.
Serena’s health journey, influenced by her own and her sister Venus’s medical conditions, has also reshaped her approach to fitness and nutrition. After facing a serious health scаre with a blооd clot in her lungs in 2011, she reevaluated her priorities and adopted a cleaner diet of natural, raw foods, especially in support of Venus’s autoimmune diseаse, Sjögren’s syndrome.
Her perspective on tennis has shifted from intense competition to a more holistic enjoyment of the sport, emphasizing gratitude for her health and the joy of playing.
