Tennis superstar Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams took center stage at the AFI Fest 2021 closing night premiere of the film "King Richard" in Hollywood on November 14.
The tennis duo looked incredibly stylish as they walked the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre to support the film depicting the life of their father, coach Richard Williams.
Serena, aged 40, donned an eye-catching black jumpsuit. Accompanying Serena was her sister, along with her husband, entrepreneur Alexis, and their young daughter.
After dominating the tennis world for two decades, Serena Williams is now pursuing a different dream as a fashion designer and entrepreneur. The world-famous tennis champion launched her own fashion line in 2018, introducing several bestselling fashion items in recent years.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist explained that she decided to establish her own fashion company when she couldn't find suitable collaborative opportunities. Serena actively participates in entertainment events and is a notable figure in Hollywood, just like any singer or actor.
Serena shared, "My greatest joy is knowing that I can pursue the work I've always wanted to do, something I've always dreamed of doing. I studied fashion design in the early 2000s. Fashion didn't come to me as a surprise. It's something I genuinely did and planned for my entire life."
Serena Williams revealed, "When I run my own fashion business, it makes me more confident because I understand that, whether successful or not, I have overcome myself."
"That's what I've done throughout my entire career. Not everyone believed in me from the beginning, but I have achieved remarkable success today, and everything is still going well."
Williams stated that her clothing is suitable for women of all ages, for any occupation, and she believes that people will find suitable fashion products when they turn to her brand.
As a world-renowned tennis player with a net worth exceeding USD 200 million, Serena Williams said she always strives in every endeavor she pursues and does not want to retire early.
"I love the work I do, and when I make an effort, I feel satisfied knowing that I have tried my best. I know I need to work hard to face challenges in every role."
"I'm not the best athlete, not the most talented, or the smartest. You don't have to be the wealthiest; just be diligent, and everything will turn out beautifully. Personally, I won't let anything stop me, and I won't give up on any job I pursue."
