Serena Williams is serving up some swimsuit style inspiration for the summer season.
On Thursday, June 12, the tennis champion took to Instagram to share a mini poolside photo shoot. The pictures, taken against the serene backdrop of a clear blue lake, showed off her Williams’ toned physique in a one-piece swimsuit.
The one-piece featured nautical vibes with white and navy stripes, plus a plunging neckline and straps that criss crossed in the back.
In the images, Williams couldn’t resist hitting a series of poses for the camera, ranging from a wide joyful, smile to a dance-inspired pose above the pool water that showed off her toned arms.

Despite being in the pool, Williams’ rocked some glam — she wore a rosy blush on her cheeks that matched the lipstick shade on her lips, and wore her blonde curls slicked back in a ponytail that cascaded down her back.

Fans in the comments were quick to compliment the athlete on her appearance.
“Prettiest I have ever seen you look….And you always look gorgeous!” one Instagram user wrote. “Serena you look FANTASTIC! Good for you!” another user added.
The Olympian’s new photos mark the second time that she’s shared swimsuit photos since revealing that she completed her weight loss goal in December of 2024.
Williams documented her journey with getting back to into shape after giving birth to her and husband Alexis Ohanian’s second daughter, Adira River, in August 2023. One of the athlete’s goals was fitting into the maxi denim Valentino skirt she bought when she was pregnant — by December, she achieved her goal.

“It just fits. An ounce more, it wouldn’t,” said Williams in an Instagram video. “I need to give myself credit,” she added.
The first swimsuit photos following her weight loss goal came in February this year — Williams wore a sexy metallic leopard print swimsuit with strappy details.
“My mini mini @adiraohanian wanted to take a dip in the ocean. I could not say no,” she captioned the images.
Williams has also had a string of sexy and fashion-forward red carpet events. On May 28, she attended Audemars Piguet’s special evening with Vogue to celebrate the luxury watch label’s 150th anniversary in Los Angeles. For the occasion, she wore a sheer, figure hugging leopard print dress.

She teamed the look with Fred Leighton jewels including a 1960s diamond wing earrings featuring 6-carat pear-shaped drops, a 1950s diamond-and-platinum swirl brooch in her wavy honey blonde pixie cut (which was also a dramatic reveal of the night) and a 1940s pinky ring with a 5-carat stone. A French-cut diamond and platinum bracelet adorned her wrist.
