Serena Williams was present at the premiere of Creed III, the third film of the saga of the boxer son of Apollo Creed, rival of Rocky Balboa.
Serena Williams wore a really bold pink satin gown. The superstar dreesed an outfit that featured a cloaked shoulder. Serena wore her hair pulled back, very elegantly.
Serena’s attendance at the premiere follows her speech at the NAACP Image Awards over the weekend, when she received the Jackie Robinson Sports Award.
She said: “I haven’t held a trophy in my hand for a long time. It’s such an honor to have a friend present me with this award today. I’m incredibly grateful for your incredible kind words and unwavering support over the years. It’s a privilege be recognized alongside some of the sport’s most accomplished athletes such as Lebron James, Michael Johnson, Wilma Rudolph, to name a few, and many other forces on the field.”

Serena’s legend
Serena Williams has undoubtedly been an icon of women’s tennis throughout her splendid career, giving so much to the movement and to the rivals themselves with her enormous talent and achievements. The US champion recently retired from the world of sport, after having rewritten a series of records, including 23 Grand Slam titles out of a total of 73 in the WTA Tour, an absolute record in the Open Era, including men too, given that the Spaniard Rafael Nadal is currently stuck at 22.
After a year away from official competitive tournaments, the US made herself seen again by fans from all over the world at Wimbledon, thanks to a wild card granted by the organizers. In that circumstance the 41-year-old gave her all but she immediately stopped in the main draw after a great battle.
In Toronto she manages to win a match before being eliminated by Belinda Bencic, while in Cincinnati the most fit British Emma Raducanu, already winner of the US Open 2021, gave her nothing, beating her in two quick sets.
Just in New York she bids farewell to tennis, paying homage to the crowd first of all with some incredible performances. She hits the first success on Kovinic on her debut and then gives herself a ticket for the third round, settling number two on the draw Anett Kontaveit in three sets.
She became the only athlete to beat a top 10 player for four consecutive decades. Aija Tomljanovic then did not leave her a chance at the end of a very tough challenge and greeted all her fans in tears.
