Serena Williams has turned heads once again by revealing her impressive body transformation, sharing a photo of herself in a satin playsuit as she celebrated her new look.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion has spoken openly about her health journey since retiring from professional tennis in 2022.
In August, she confirmed she had lost 31 pounds over the past year after deciding to use the GLP-1 medication Zepbound.
Speaking to Vogue, Williams explained that she reached a point where diet and exercise alone could not help her lose the weight she wanted following the birth of her second child in 2023.

“I had never been in a situation like that in my life,” she told People recently when asked about her weight loss.
“I worked so hard, ate so well and still could not reach the weight I wanted.
“I have never taken shortcuts in my career and I know what it takes to be the best, so it was frustrating to do everything right and still not see the number on the scale change.”
Williams said the medication has supported rather than replaced her healthy lifestyle and has made her feel more energetic.
She added that her joints are now under less strain and that she feels more comfortable in her own skin.
