Serena Williams just updated her maternity wardrobe with a little help from Gucci.
The tennis superstar repped the Italian fashion house in photos posted to her Instagram today. Posing against floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing a picturesque tropical landscape, Williams showed off her growing baby bump in a cozy knit set composed of a cropped turtleneck top and a miniskirt. The two-piece featured horizontal stripes in shades of dark green, mint, and yellow. It additionally included the brand’s interlocking G logo in a matching shade of mustard across the torso.
Williams kept her accessories to a minimum, simply opting for a delicate gold wristwatch from Audemars Piguet.
“I’ve been waiting a long time… for this moment to come…. I’m destined for anything at all,” the athlete captioned the post.
Some of Williams’s A-list pals praised her newest maternity look in the comment section. Paris Hilton left an emoji: “😍.” Naomi Campbell similarly expressed her love for the outfit by commenting, “❤️❤️❤️.”
Williams is pregnant with her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian. She announced the news at the 2023 Met Gala this past May, where she debuted her baby bump in a dramatic black-and-white Gucci gown.
The Grand Slam champion previously opened up about her decision to retire from tennis. In an emotional essay published last August, she explained that the move was, in part, influenced by her desire to expand her family.
“I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me,” she wrote at the time. “A few years ago I quietly started Serena Ventures, a venture capital firm. Soon after that, I started a family. I want to grow that family.”
Williams and Ohanian welcomed their first child, daughter Alexis Olympia, in 2017.
