Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes of all time, and in addition to her latest win, her look was also a grand slam.

The tennis star won her latest match against Laura Siegemund during the Australian Open wearing a hard-to-miss one-legged catsuit.

Williams’ amazing ensemble was designed by Nike and included bright pink colors. She perfectly paired the look with a blue headband.

“I think that @serenawilliams outfit is great, but what I like even more is her performance,” Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou said on Twitter. “Great job.”

During a press conference, Williams shared that her showstopping catsuit was inspired by the iconic track star Florence Griffith Joyner, who was popularly know as “Flo-Jo.”

“I was inspired by Flo-Jo, who was a wonderful track athlete,” she said. “Her outfits were always amazing, and this year we thought of what can we do to keep elevating the Serena Williams on the court.”

She continued by pointing out that the team at Nike thought of the design, and she thought “oh my God, this is brilliant.”

In 2018, Williams also brought fashion to the court when she donned an incredible black catsuit as she won her first French Open match after having her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.

Many fans also will never forget her stylish tutus worn on various occasions after the French Open issued a ban on her black catsuit under a new dress code policy.
