Venus
Williams appeared to support the new tennis movie 'Challengers', starring
Zendaya, and shared her thoughts on the current tennis trends like urban style.
The 7-times Grand Slam champion is among the powerful names leading Lacoste's
'PlayBig' campaign alongside male world No. 1
Novak Djokovic.
Williams
participated in a photoshoot for the clothing brand and gave an interview to
Harper’s Bazaar about tennis and her favorite basic clothing pieces. The
American tennis legend emphasized that tennis has long been a focal point where
sports and fashion intersect.
“Tennis
never goes out of style—it’s always trending! I’ve always loved seeing people
embracing tennis-core and incorporating it into everyday style in their own
unique way. Tennis has long been at the intersection of sports and fashion, and
Lacoste was one of those pioneers who helped elevate sports-chic looks,” the
former world No. 1 said.
The 5-times Wimbledon champion emphasized her off-court style, stating,
"It's all about the mood I'm in! I always strive to be my true authentic
self when it comes to fashion. I like to be unique, and I also like to wear
things that I feel confident in. Finding the balance between these two is when
I feel my best,"
Venus Williams added.
“My style is always changing
and evolving. I don’t like to follow trends, though. I’m always looking for new
ways to be creative and express myself, but I tend to prefer timeless, fun
pieces over something that’s popular in the moment,” she concluded.
