By Mohamed Serena Williams is showing off her figure after revealing that she shed 31 pounds.
Williams, 43, gave fans a look at her silhouette while wearing a floor-length dress on Wednesday, September 16. The tennis pro took to Instagram to share her look, which featured a sleeveless cherry red silk dress that hugged all her curves featuring a scoop neckline.
While posing in a library, Williams accessorized with silver pointed-toe kitten heels and a diamond tennis bracelet, as well as a coordinating necklace.
For glam, she donned smokey eyeshadow, bronzed cheeks, long lashes and lined, glossy lips. Williams’ highlighted mane was parted to the side and styled in neat curls.
Williams reflected on the past few months in her caption, writing alongside the pics, “My summer started out well but I was plunged into a difficult August. Like many of you, I faced challenges that tested my spirit and resilience.” She added a message about self-love, continuing, “I took some time away to breathe, to reconnect with myself, and to remember that it’s perfectly okay to pause and reconnect. Even if it’s just a quiet night to yourself. Anything counts.”
The Olympian cheekily added, “The only thing I’m dealing with in this moment here is how good this dress looks against first editions.”
Williams’ slinky look comes after she got candid about using a GLP-1 medication to lose weight.
“After having my second kid, I was never able to be at a healthy weight that I could be at, whether it was my joints or blood sugar levels,” she explained to Today last month. “It was just always something I suffered with, and a lot of women actually go through this.” (Williams shares daughters Alexis Olympia, 7, and Adira River, 13 months, with husband Alexis Ohanian.)
She noted that getting on the medication wasn’t “a shortcut” in her transformation.
“As an athlete and as someone that has done everything, I just couldn’t get my weight to where I needed to be at a healthy place,” the tennis sensation shared.“And, believe me, I don’t take shortcuts.”
