Serena Williams took to Instagram, sharing a captivating video of herself dancing barefoot around an open fire. In a heartwarming moment, she handed a freshly-toasted marshmallow from the campfire to a nearby friend.
Dressed elegantly, Serena dazzled in a figure-hugging cerise dress with a sweetheart neckline, complemented by colorful beaded necklaces and anklets.
In honor of her friend, the mother-of-one captioned her post: “Loving my baby bride-to-be so much. So much I thought I was Selena for a moment and not Serena. I could never do her justice. All grown up.”
Serena's sensational dancing video delighted her 15.8 million followers, who filled the comment section with heartfelt compliments. One fan exclaimed: “Retirement looks great on you,” while another declared: “This dress is everything.” “I LOVE IT QUEEN,” noted a third, with a fourth adding: “Omg! Another level of my Serena (and Selena) obsession is unlocked!”
Serena’s captivating dance comes after she opened up about her multi-decade career. Since announcing her retirement during the US Open, the star has candidly discussed her decision to step away from tennis.
Speaking with Bradley Cooper and her sister Venus, Serena explained: “I just needed to stop… I always said I wanted to stop when I’m playing really good tennis and winning and beating good players.”
She added: “As a super hands-on mom, I can’t tell you how hard it was. I lost so many matches after I had Olympia because it was so hard to be on the court.
“I feel like I’ve given so much of my life to tennis, my entire life, that it’s time to do something different for me and also work on other things.”
