Serena Williams talks about being honored tonight and her daughter Olympia being a big sister. #CFDAAwards
After hanging up her racket to focus on family, WTA legend Serena Williams gave fans another glimpse into her life as a mother of two kids.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion was recently honored 2023 CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards, becoming the first athlete to win the Fashion Icon award at the prestigious event.
“I was worried. I was like, 'okay, I don't know if I can like anyone as much as I love Olympia,'" said Williams when asked how Olympia was navigating being a big sister. "I was really nervous about that. But I feel like it all worked out. She's navigating it. She loves it. Adira is like a tiny little baby, so Olympia just calls her her little sis."
Furthermore, the former World No.1 revealed her secret to being fashionable both on and off the court, stating it helped her remain true to herself.
"It's great, like I feel like you can be yourself in fashion, especially in sport," she said. "I use my platform to be myself and also to show myself in fashion. It was like my runway. For me, that's what means the most."
