She turned professional in 1995 and won her first Grand Slam title at the 1999 US Open. Williams has also earned four Olympic gold medals and held the world No. 1 ranking in women’s singles for a total of 319 weeks, including a record 186 consecutive weeks from 2013 to 2016. In 2018, Serena launched her sports and lifestyle brand, S by Serena, which features performance apparel designed with moisture-wicking and stretch fabrics tailored for both athletic and casual wear. The brand’s collections often incorporate bold prints and colors inspired by Serena’s personal experiences, including collaborations with designer Virgil Abloh for limited-edition pieces. S by Serena is available through major retailers such as Nordstrom and has become a platform for Williams to promote empowerment and cultural storytelling through fashion.
