Serena Williams on how a Vogue photoshoot induced confidence in her
In the April 2003 issue of Vogue magazine, Serena posed in a white bikini. Talking about that experience, the American legend said,

“This is a ‘Vogue’ shoot. So, you can see that I came out of the tennis gear for a quick break to have a shoot. This is when I started discovering myself more, just being more confident, because, I mean as you can see here, I’m in a bikini, and ba-bow, you know? But no athlete at that time really had ba-bow, and so it was just like starting to try to be comfortable with my body, because it was like, I was not that average athlete.”
