Smash hit Serena;Game, set and gasp as tennis star shapes up in a clinging new catsuit
As it adhered to her like clingfilm, emphasising every astonishing body contour, Serena Williams described it as 'more of a Zentai catsuit'.
WITH admirable audacity, the makers insisted it was ' a tennis dress'.
And the fans? They said nothing when she slipped off her jacket to reveal this new ultimate figure -hugging outfit. They just gaped, gasped then whooped in delight.
The 20-year-old Wimbledon champion donned the kit at Flushing Meadow, New York, as she launched an assault on her sister Venus's U.S.
Open title. Made from 86 per cent polyester and 14 per cent Lycra, the black leather-look Puma suit was complemented by her trademark earrings and her favourite heart-shaped necklace plus an GBP 18,000 12-carat, 242- diamond bracelet created by New York jeweller Harry Winston.
It makes me run faster and jump higher and is really sexy. I love it.' To one commentator, who asked if it came with flippers, mask and a snorkel, she retorted: 'This is more of a Catsuit it is not a wet suit.'
He had to add an inch to the standard design and fit an extra safety clasp, so that it would stay intact round her seven and a half inch wrist.
Serena, who won her first-round match, has been studying fashion at college in Florida and is credited with adding 'a dart here and there' to the sinuous GBP 40 outfit. 'It really sticks to what type of shape you have,' she explained, rather superfluously. 'If you don't have a decent shape, this isn't the best outfit to have.
What will they say at Wimbledon?
Serena said Venus approves. 'She thought it was great. It is fun, exciting and very sexy I mean, she just described me.' Which leaves just one question.
