From tennis court to museum - how did Serena's catsuit make the leap?

Former world number one Serena Williams’s banned catsuit from the 2018 French Open was featured in a high-end Paris museum.

The 42-year-old wore a controversial black cat body suit in 2018 during the Roland Garros. As per the recent report, that suit was recently featured in a Parisian museum.

Serena is often 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. She retired from the sport in September 2022 after having to deal with fitness concerns.

Serena’s most successful competitions were the Australian Open and Wimbledon where she lifted the title seven times each. Her first title triumph was way back in 1999 when she lifted the US Open after beating Switzerland’s Martina Hingis in the final with a score of 6–3, 7-6.

Her last major title was the Australian Open in 2017 as she defeated sister Venus Williams in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4. Serena also ended up winning four Olympic gold medals for the US as well.

Out of those, three were after winning in the doubles category — in Sydney (2000), Beijing (2008) and London (2012). Serena also won the singles category at the London Olympics in 2012.
