Aside from being super chic, the looks are also super practical for on-the-go lives or even for someone who is an athlete themselves. If you’re looking for a cute summer style, take notes from our sis, Williams, by clicking through the gallery ahead.
01
Red Carpet Ombre
Sis Serena slayed this ombre texture look on her way to an HBO Red Carpet premiere. We love the full waves and length.

Banded Ponytail
We love this multi-band look by Serena on the court. Stylish, yet keeps hair perfectly tucked and away from the face.
03
Flowing Hair
This full flowing look is one part goddess, one part lioness. A fitting combination for the fierce player.
04
Fro’ Fabulous
When she isn’t serving dramatic length, Williams loves a good ‘fro. We love this dark and sultry look. Honorable mention: Baby Olympia Ohanian’s mini ‘fro is also goals.
