16 times Serena Williams’ had incredible style off the tennis court

Serena Williams — who will be retiring after the 2022 U.S. Open, as she announced Tuesday — is an icon on the tennis court, an all-time great athlete who transcended her own sport and entered the pantheon of GOATs.

Off the court? She’s an icon as well, developing and investing in businesses with an impressive portfolio.

And this is where we get to throw in fashion icon. She created buzz with so many of her on-court fits, but we’ll focus here on what she wore off the court for so many events, from runway shows to the annual Met Gala in New York City:
