Venus Williams has always been a fashion icon, both on and off the court. And a few raised eyes have never intimidated her enough to improvise otherwise. The tennis realm has seen some of the most iconic on-court outfits from both Venus and Serena Williams. But today is an unfortunate day as one living inspiration for William’s on-court outfit, Tina Turner, said her final goodbye to the world.

The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll released some of the most iconic music. Hence, she became Venus Williams’ inspiration for her 2010 Wimbledon swing.

How did Tina Turner inspire Venus Williams on the court?

Both Williams sisters are well-known for their experiments with their on-court outfits. Hence, even the strict all-white dress code of Wimbledon did not restrict Venus Williams from adding a frill to it.

The seven-time singles Grand Slam champion wore a Tina Turner-inspired on-court outfit. With frills on her skirt and an elaborate neck, the design became a statement outfit that season. After debuting the outfit, she gave a heartfelt credit to the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
