Serena Williams' badass black body suit is now banned from the French Open

Remember that fashionable, black one-piece bodysuit that made Serena Williams feel like a "warrior princess" and simultaneously helped protect against blood clots?

Well, turns out it's been banned from future French Open tournaments.

When Williams participated in the 2018 French open nine months after giving birth to her daughter, she wore the black Nike jumpsuit because it was designed to prevent blood clots.

During Williams' pregnancy, she experienced some complications, including a pulmonary embolism — known as a blood clot or clots in the lungs — and a hematoma — or swelling of clotted blood in her abdomen — which required surgery.

"I almost died after giving birth to my daughter, Olympia," Williams wrote in a February op-ed for CNN. But Williams bounced back from her medical challenges and returned to the court in style, claimed victory, and told The Guardian just how much the suit meant to her.

"It feels like this suit represents all the women that have been through a lot mentally, physically, with their body to come back and have confidence and to believe in themselves," Williams said. "I definitely feel like it is an opportunity for me to inspire a whole different group of amazing women and kids."

Now, the suit that made Williams feel like a superhero has been banned by French Open president Bernard Giudicelli.

In an interview with Tennis magazine, Giudicelli noted a new dress code to regulate uniforms of player is being introduced, per The Associated Press. "I think that sometimes we've gone too far," Giudicelli said, and when asked about Williams' suit, he added, "It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place."

Fans of Williams were baffled by his comments, especially considering the bodysuit was health-related, and released their rage on Twitter.

Giudicelli did note that the tournament's new rules won't be as strict as Wimbledon's all-white ensemble expectations, but they will definitely "impose certain limits."

You're free to have all the opinions on fashion you want, dude. But an individual's health should always be more important.
