Champion on court, champion on ramp: Serena Williams dazzles New York Fashion Week with trendy designs

Serena Williams had some prominent fans in attendance, notably Kim Kardashian, TV host Gayle King, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

On Day 5 of New York Fashion Week, tennis legend Serena Williams presented her all-inclusive fashion line. Serena Williams made her traditional post-show bow, wearing a snakeskin wrap skirt that she designed, she was carrying little Olympia, 2, in her arm

She is also clearly partial to bright colors, as in one hot pink ensemble that was part midriff-baring pantsuit, part long skirt. (Photo | AP)

The most striking and creative sight on the runway came when two models wore the same outfit together, side by side, one in a plus size and one not an effective statement about size diversity. (Photo | AP)
