Former world number one Serena Williams will receive the Fashion Icon award at the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards.
The 42-year-old is regarded as the greatest player in the history of women’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 23 Grand Slam titles.
According to a report, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) announced on Wednesday that Serena will receive an award in the upcoming Fashion Awards.
Chairman of the CFDA Thom Browne commentated on the development and stated that the Atlanta-born is an inspiring figure.
“Serena is one of the most inspiring people in the world,” he said. “She is a true individual, an icon of the sports world representing greatness on the highest level, bringing fashion to another world, for another audience.
“Always staying true to herself, both on and off the court. A perfect combination of our worlds, the ultimate example of individuality in everything she does. Serena is a true fashion icon.”
Serena announced retirement from the sport in September last year after dominating the women’s singles tennis for more than a decade.
Her most successful competition has been the Australian Open and Wimbledon where she ended up lifting the title seven times each.
