Serena Williams found another way around the catsuit ban, and it’s absolutely glorious.
Since her badass black catsuit was banned at the French Open in 2018, the tennis champion has been trolling competition officials with increasingly fire outfits.
The skintight bodysuit — which some thought was a tribute to Black Panther — was designed to prevent life-threatening blood clots after Williams gave birth to her daughter. However, French Open officials said it violated the dress code and was a “disrespect” to the game. That didn’t faze her, though: A week later, she wore a pastel purple tutu and fishnet tights to the U.S. Open.
Williams continued her trend of unorthodox outfits at the Australian Open on Monday, walking onto the court in a short black trench coat. When she completed her warm-up routine, she pulled off the coat and revealed a green romper and fishnet tights. According to the Cut, “the crowd reportedly went wild.”
Twitter user WTA joked that Williams “just cut the legs off” of her banned catsuit, and her husband Alexis Ohanian was very here for it.
And other Twitter users were in absolute awe of the outfit choice.

This is the first tour match Williams has participated in since losing to Naomi Osaka at the U.S. Open. She absolutely slaughtered Tatiana Marja 6-0 and 6-2 during their match on Monday, and moves on to compete again on Wednesday.
