She was at the top of her game on and off the court this weekend.
Serena Williams not only took home the coveted Wimbledon trophy, she also was one of the best dressed at the champions’ dinner Sunday night.
Take a look at her curve-hugging gown. Her style inspiring her followers on Twitter and Instagram.
The image came just a day after she, and other female athletes, were the focus of an argument about women in sports and their bodies.
The Twitter argument even caught the attention of J.K. Rowling.
"I don't touch a weight, because I'm ready super fit and super cut, and if I even look at weights, I get bigger," Williams told The New York Times.
Williams has accepted her body's build, including biceps larger than some men's, and, as shown in the photos from the champions' dinner and the clothes she wears on the court, doesn't always hide her figure.
"That is really an important acceptance for some female athletes, that their best body type, their best performance build, is one that is not thin; it's one of power," Pam Shriver told The New York Times.
Despite the body image and build argument, Williams has won 21 Grand Slam tournaments over her career.
