It's not just about being gorgeous in a dress; it's about being a strong role model as well.
Serena Williams won her sixth Wimbledon title and her fourth Grand Slam on Saturday, beating Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 6-4, in a thrilling victory.
The day after the match, Williams stunned her admirers one more time by showing up to the Champions Dinner at London's Guidhall in a creamy pink gown.
Williams joined fellow champion Novak Djokovic, who won the Men's Grand Slam. Not only is six titles a feat in its own right, but, at 33 years old, Williams is the oldest ever Wimbledon champion, which is a testament to her strength and stamina as an athlete.
However, Williams is often exposed to people who have criticized and body shamed her. While the tennis champ's elegant look should silence the negativity, author J.K. Rowling still got into a spat with a Twitter troll who said Williams was "built like a man."
.@diegtristan8 "she is built like a man". Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot. pic.twitter.com/BCvT10MYkI— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) July 11, 2015
Of course, Williams doesn't need to prove she is both graceful and a formidable competitor, but she does it anyway just by stepping out her front door.
