Serena Williams has put her tennis shoes to one side in favour of a fabulous LBD that we can't get enough of.
The Grand Slam singles champ, 42, took to Instagram to share a carousel of dazzling photos where she donned a sultry black midi dress. The figure-hugging garment had a scooping round neckline and for an extra eye-catching detail had cut-outs on both hips to reveal diamanté straps.

The space had floor-to-ceiling neutral wood cabinetry with rails full of colourful clothes and drawers for extra storage. After all, the retired tennis player must have somewhere to store the incredible looks she has been serving of late.

The mother-of-two sported an incredible strapless black dress with off-the-shoulder gold pillowed sleeves which cinched at the wrist.

Serena often shares her love of the outdoors with her followers. She was seen on a picturesque hike while on vacation in the Caribbean.

The tennis champ enjoyed some downtime in the most beautiful of natural surroundings for a well-earned break from public appearances. She served enough 'wow factor' at the CFDA Fashion Awards last November in that memorable black sequin gown to last us a lifetime.
