‘I Don’t Shop a lot’: Serena Williams On Her Three Wardrobe Essentials
How would you describe your style?
A hint of classic with lots of trends, I like to mix the two. I love trends but I also like to have a classic silhouette, or elements of it – a shoulder or a waistline – to tone it down a little bit.
Do you have a favourite designer?
I love so many but I’d have to go with Gucci and Chanel.
What’s your favourite fashion era?
I’m obsessed with the ’80s – so wild.
What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe?
A blue, beaded Valentino gown from the ’90s I wore for the Laureus [World Sports] Awards. It’s the first designer piece I bought and I don’t have the heart to get rid of it. It’s a classic.
“I’m really good at the natural look – not much make-up, messy hair. When I am over-styled I always look overdone and older.”
And the most recent addition?
I don’t shop a lot, maybe once a year. In Paris back in October I bought a few things from Gucci – sweaters, bags, dresses … Actually, I bought a lot! I just hung out in the store and got some cool things. They’re always really nice to me so it was fun to get an opportunity to be there.
What would you wear …… on a first date?
A dress, or jeans and a top with a low neckline. Always heels, unless it’s a smaller individual.
… on a plane? Some leggings from my collection, S by Serena. They’re cosy and comfortable, perfect for travelling. Plus an ATM sweater and Nike sneakers.
… to the Oscars? In 2019 I wore this beautiful Armani Privé gown. I’d worn Versace a lot – I have a good relationship with Donatella and I love her – but I was thinking, “What do I wear? What can I do different?” A lot of things came up, and then there was Giorgio and it was clear. We were excited to do something together.
What are the three essential items in your wardrobe?
A pouch or smaller bag that I can fit my essentials in, something I can throw into a cross-body or shoulder bag, because when you have a kid it’s hard to handle everything! Plus my S by Serena leggings and red lipstick.
