Serena Williams, a titan in women’s tennis and a global sports icon, is also a celebrated figure in the fashion world. She’s been seen at various global fashion events, and recently, she made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
Dressed in a chic black ensemble complete with sunglasses and blonde hair, Williams caught the eye of many, including Brazilian football star Neymar Jr., who was also dressed in black. The two sports legends were seated next to each other, enjoying the show, and were seen exchanging pleasantries and handshakes as the event concluded.
Neymar, famous for his move to FC Barcelona in 2013 in a deal worth 57.1 million euros, rose to prominence there, forming the formidable MSN trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, leading the club to numerous victories.
In contrast, recent times have been challenging for Williams. She had to withdraw from the 2020 Roland Garros due to an Achilles injury, which sidelined her for the rest of the season. She returned to the sport at the WTA 500 Yarrey Valley Classic after a four-month break, but a shoulder injury forced her to withdraw again before the semi-finals.
She made a significant comeback at the 2021 Australian Open, reaching the semi-finals, but faced setbacks with early exits in subsequent WTA events and a hamstring injury at the 2021 Wimbledon, leading to her withdrawal from the rest of the season.
