Serena Williams · 2019

After-dark bodysuit

Long sleeves, short legs and fine mesh created an uncompromising one-piece silhouette.

The story behind the look

Williams opened the 2019 US Open in a black Nike bodysuit that paired full-length sleeves with short, fitted legs. Vertical mesh panels added a subtle change in texture through the front.

She wore it against Maria Sharapova in the first round, winning 6–1, 6–1. The minimal black silhouette continued her exploration of competition clothing beyond the conventional tennis dress.
