Venus Wiliams is on her way to Rio for the 2016 Olympics and doing it in style. On Tuesday the tennis champion shared a selfie via Instagram while on her way to Rio and rocking a head full of honey blonde and fiery red box braids.
She captioned the photo: “#airport to @rio2016” — and while looking well rested and ready to win some Olympic gold, we’re loving her flashy choice of hairstyles. Williams is known for her braided looks and this one is as lovely as ever. Plus, the colorful braids are a smart choice as they will be a breeze to maintain while she’s busying dominating on the court.
We are rooting for you, Venus!
