Serena Williamsknows how to make a fashion statement both on and off the court.

“So I thought about that and I was thinking, immediately, the jean skirt that I wore in 2002 with the high boots,” the star said of the designs, which she wore in response to French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli banning herfull-body catsuit.“Then I was like, that’s a lie. My favorite things in life are tutus. The tutu look with Virgil. I kept all those dresses.”

“And sometimes I wear them,” she added with a laugh.
“Olympiais a lucky girl,” Wintour responded. “She’s going to have a lot of choices.”
The fashion icon also asked Williams about the inspiration behind her over-the-top court outfits.
