Like her fellow celebrity co-chairs, Williams had quite a groundbreaking year when it came to style.
During the French Open in May, Williams caused a fashion controversy for wearing ablack Nike catsuitthat she said made her feel like a “queen from Wakanda.” Afterward, French Tennis Federation officials banned the catsuit, saying it will “no longer be accepted.”

One reason she opted for tights at the French Open was also due to their health benefits. Since the birth of her daughter, Williams has suffered a number of health issues. “I’ve had a lot of problems with my blood clots, God I don’t know how many I’ve had in the past 12 months,” Williams explained at a news conference in May, according toNPR. “I’ve been wearing pants in general a lot when I play so I can keep the blood circulation going.”
