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.

As reported by Glamour, she stated, “She’s just an amazing, amazing artist, just a survivor. She reinvented herself. Plus she looks great.” She added, “I’ve loved her forever. So the dress is really inspired by her.”

Venus Williams has always loved art, and her ode to vibrant musical artists has continued even now. And that love has always inspired her to lead others and made her one of the most beloved tennis players of all time.

An arduous effort to preserve the legacy of Nina Simone

The American tennis legend recently joined hands with renowned artist Adam Pendleton to come together for a preservation project.

Nina Simone, the renowned musical artist’s childhood home, needed funds to be restored. Inspired by that, Williams joined hands with some well-loved artists and aimed to raise $5 million to preserve Simone’s legacy.

Not only did she overachieve and raise up to $6 million for the project, but she also made sure she did it in style as she adorned a stunning black Louis Vuitton dress.
