Serena Williams celebrated her tennis retirement on Thursday by enjoying the launch party for Edward Enninful’s new memoir.
With more time to focus on socializing and her various business ventures, the 23-time Grand Slam champion was accompanied by her husband, Alexis Ohanian, at the New York City event. Serena, clad in a chic black minidress with ruched details, paired her look with sneakers for a relaxed touch.
As she left the event, she shared a friendly kiss with model Bella Hadid, highlighting their close friendship. Serena, who was focused on her phone while Ohanian ensured their smooth entry into the party, looked radiant and at ease.
Edward Enninful, the first Black Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, has been actively promoting his autobiography. Serena, who announced her retirement from tennis in August after the U.S. Open, made a heartfelt connection with Hadid, who was visibly emotional over Serena’s career conclusion.
