Serena Williams has again captured attention, this time not on the tennis court but through a striking fashion statement as the 43-year-old mother-of-two revealed her toned frame in a delicate baby blue lingerie set after a tough weight loss quest.
Following the birth of her daughters, Olympia and Adira, the woman regarded as the greatest female tennis player of all-time opened up on her struggles to cut down the pounds.
“Dressed to the nines… and on cloud nine. In satin swimwear of course,” Serena wrote via Instagram, weeks after Williams disclosed she has shed 31 pounds with the aid of a GLP-1 weight-loss treatment.
She was donned in a light-blue satin set showing off her slim stomach, busty chest and the powerful legs that allowed her to dominate women’s tennis for close to two decades.
Completing the photo was her golden curls cascading down over her shoulder as she looked fresh and young in the face, wearing make-up to highlight her cheek bones and lips.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner has often used social media to share glimpses of her evolving style and fitness, becoming known for posting swimsuit photos that emphasize her athletic build.
Her latest images reflect a new chapter in her public persona – one that celebrates both resilience and transformation as she also uploaded a series of photos in a vibrant yellow swimsuit while posing in the water.
Her sculpted arms, strong legs, and defined midsection highlight the remarkable shift in her physique since welcoming her daughters with husband, the Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian.
Speaking of Ohanian, together the married pair have also launched a collaboration with Ro, a telehealth company that prescribes GLP-1 medications with Alexis serving as a board member.
How does GLP-1 work?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications mimic a natural hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite.
By slowing stomach emptying and enhancing feelings of fullness, they reduce food intake and promote weight loss. GLP-1 also helps regulate insulin, supporting metabolic health in individuals with obesity or type 2 diabetes.
Patients typically see gradual but sustained weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
While not a substitute for diet and exercise, GLP-1 provides a medically supported option for those struggling to lose weight through traditional means.
“I literally was playing a professional sport,” Williams said of her own journey. “And I could never go back to where I needed to be for my health, for my healthy weight, no matter what I did.
“I would always lose a lot of weight, and then I would stay. No matter what I did, I couldn’t go lower than that one number.
“As an athlete and as someone that has done everything. I just couldn’t get my weight to where I needed to be at a healthy place, and believe me I don’t take shortcuts. I do everything but shortcuts.”
