Serena Williams makes history once again, this time as the radiant cover star of *Vogue*. Her presence is powerful—not just because she’s a tennis icon, but as a dark-skinned Black woman commanding space in high fashion.
Draped in a teal dress, Serena glows with understated elegance. Her natural hair flows effortlessly, and she’s free of heavy makeup. No earrings, just a single bracelet. She channels pure confidence and a striking resemblance to her sister Venus.
Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Serena appears untouched and unapologetically herself. In the feature, she shares her insecurities—especially about her muscular arms—and how she’s navigated beauty standards within and beyond sports.
She also reflects on the pressures of being the best. “It’s hard and lonely at the top,” she admits. Whether it’s on court or in media, Serena continues to redefine strength, femininity, and what it means to be iconic.
