Serena Williams‘ career has been enriched with a new important award. The former tennis star received the Fashion Icon Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America for her contributions to American fashion. Serena talked about how fashion was important to her during her career, both during her on-court challenges and during her life off-court. “I knew from an early age that I was different, so I explored fashion and style as a way to stand out.
In many ways for me, the tennis courts became my runway, and the U.S. Open was my personal New York Fashion Week “Rethinking the traditional tennis dress became a way to express my individuality, my confidence and, most importantly, my culture,” said the North American icon.
Below you can see photos of the incredible dress Serena wore to the awards ceremony.
