Serena Williams is proving that summer style can be both bold and elegant.
On June 12, the tennis legend shared a poolside photo shoot on Instagram, posing in a chic one-piece swimsuit with nautical stripes, a plunging neckline, and crisscrossed back straps. The backdrop of a calm blue lake added to the summery vibe, while Serena struck a series of fun poses — from radiant smiles to playful, dance-inspired stances.
Even while in the pool, she added a touch of glam with rosy blush, matching lipstick, and her blonde curls pulled into a sleek ponytail. “School’s out … it’s summer and swimsuit season … hope you are ready!” she captioned the post, ending with a splash emoji.
The photos come months after Williams revealed she had reached her weight loss goal in December 2024, following the birth of her second daughter, Adira, in August 2023. She documented the journey for her fans, even celebrating when she finally fit into a designer denim skirt she had purchased during pregnancy.
This isn’t the first time Serena has shown off her progress. In February, she posted pictures in a metallic leopard-print swimsuit while enjoying the ocean with Adira.
Beyond her poolside moments, Williams has also been making fashion waves on the red carpet. She stunned in a sheer leopard-print gown at Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary event in Los Angeles and later made a dramatic entrance at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom Moncler gown featuring sheer panels and an oversized bubble train. She paired the look with vintage diamond jewelry and revealed a striking pixie cut.
Fans continue to flood her social media with praise, calling her “fantastic” and “the prettiest she’s ever looked.”
