And now, as @serenawilliams continues to the third round of the US Open, we're dissecting the figure skating-inspired Nike dress she's donning for the Open. ⁠ ⁠ The design, crafted by Serena herself, is a nod to the open night sky of center court and the six-layer skirt signifies Williams' six previous wins at the New York tournament. ⁠ ⁠ Her NikeCourt Flare 2 sneaks include a diamond-encrusted Swoosh and solid gold lace deubrés with 400 hand-set diamonds spelling out “mama” and “queen”, a collaboration with her eponymous jewelry line.⁠ ⁠ Mere feet away in the stands, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., wore white beads in her braids just as her mother did for her U.S. Open debut over two decades ago and a matching dress.⁠ ⁠ Every detail seemed to be part of one larger narrative - one of a Queen bidding farewell to her kingdom. Play on, Queen Mama. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ SWIPE for a closer look. ⁠ ⁠
