If you thought Serena Williams was going to hang up her tennis skirts and slip quietly into retirement, think again, sweetie. She just walked into an event wearing a custom, figure-hugging dress that had jaws on the floor and camera flashes working overtime. One headline screamed: “Is this what retirement looks like?!” And honestly, we hope so.
At 42, Serena is proving that post-retirement glow-ups are not only possible—they should be mandatory. Her body still looks sculpted for war (or Wimbledon), her skin is giving rich cocoa butter and zero stress, and her walk has that unmistakable bounce of a woman who knows she’s still that girl.
Google’s practically overheating with curiosity:
“Is Serena Williams still working out?” Baby, she never stopped. If anything, she’s training stronger now—just without the line judges and baseline drama.
“What’s Serena’s net worth?” Try $300 million+, and that’s before she cashes in on her fashion brand, venture capital firm, and the Serena TV era we know is coming.
“Is she still married?” Yep. Still boo’d up with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who basically looks at Serena like she’s both dessert and the main course.
“How many Grand Slams?” Still a whopping 23, and yes, that’s more than any player in the Open Era. Put some respect on it.
But what really has fans talking? Her vibe. She’s not chasing relevance—she is relevance. Whether she’s dripping in Balenciaga, laughing it up with Beyoncé courtside, or casually launching her own investment fund like she’s playing doubles with Oprah, Serena does it all with the effortless grace of a woman who already won the game—and now owns the stadium.
And when asked if she misses tennis?
She just smiles and says, “I’m still serving. Just… differently.”
Retired? Technically, yes.
But Serena Williams isn’t stepping back. She’s just changing outfits.
