Serena Williams wears a diamond-encrusted Nike look at the US Open with daughter Olympia matching
Serena Williams and her adorable four-year daughter Olympia were decked out in matching diamond outfits for the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s blockbuster first-round match at the US Open on Monday.
Her outfit, made by longtime partner Nike, was all-black and covered in diamonds. To mark the importance of the occasion, Nike produced a matching outfit for her daughter Olympia.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion is expected to retire following the US Open but a potential swansong will have to wait as she defeated Danka Kovinic in straight sets at Arthur Ashe on the first day of the tournament to set up a second-round clash against second seed Anett Kontaveit.
Williams is known for her bold fashion statements on court at Flushing Meadows from the denim mini-skirt as the 2004 US Open to her Nike black catsuit at Roland Garros in 2018.
Designed months ago through insights from Williams, she took to court in an all-black outfit inspired by figure skating competition apparel and incorporating a six-layer skirt, referencing Serena’s six prior Flushing titles, which began in 1999.
The elegant silhouette is designed to allow Williams comfort and freedom of movement, while the bold embellishments will put her firmly in the spotlight – if she wasn’t already on the Arthur Ashe stage.

The black bodice is encrusted by crystals in the shape of stars to reference the night sky of the tournament and is then covered with a mesh layer over the top.
Williams is also sporting custom PE NikeCourt Flare 2 shoes which complement the dress with the iconic Nike swoosh in crystals and her initials on the inner side.
There are also solid gold deubrés on the laces featuring 400 hand-set diamonds in black ceramic created in collaboration with Serena Williams Jewelry.
The outfit is topped off with a matching zip jacket and tote which are also in the same deep hue and embellished with crystals.

Williams, who attended fashion school, has always had a love for playing in breathtaking and trendsetting looks and the tennis great took a hands-on approach for her latest outfit, providing the full vision and dialing the details.
As for Olympia, it seems the matching outfit wasn’t the only homage to her mother that she wore.
In addition to the sparkles, Olympia was seen wearing braids strung through white beads, a hairstyle similar to what Serena wore when she won her first US Open title in 1999.
