The story behind the look

Williams followed her provocative black lace look in Paris with a white dress full of frills for Wimbledon. She described Tina Turner as the inspiration, and the densely fringed skirt made that stage-ready reference visible whenever she moved.

Designed through Williams’s own EleVen label, the outfit respected the tournament’s white requirement while refusing restraint. The result was part tennis dress, part performance costume and entirely her own.
