Serena Williams is known for making waves on the tennis court and of late, for documenting her life raising two daughters under seven. It is no secret that the athlete does it in style, but now we see that Serena is also a pro bridesmaid, and the proof is in these stunning unearthed photos. 

In 2019 the Grand Slam singles champ, 42, was a stunning bridesmaid for her fellow tennis player friend Caroline Wozniacki when she married American former basketball player David Lee. 

Serena posed for a photo on stone steps alongside four other bridesmaids who all wore sage green gowns in varying cuts. The tennis player looked like an ethereal vision in a floor-length number with a scooping neckline and skinny straps. 

The dress gathered at the waist to cinch in her silhouette and Serena was seen holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers in white and pale blue. Her hair was styled in gorgeous mermaid curls and her makeup was kept neutral.

"So thankful to have these incredible women in my life!
