Serena Williams Says Daughter Olympia Has A Passion For Fashion

Olympia is 5 years old and is a big sister to newborn Adira River.

Serena Williams' eldest daughter, Olympia, is following in her famous mom's fashionable footsteps.

While on the red carpet at Tuesday night's CFDA Awards –where she received the Fashion Icon Award– Williams revealed that the 5-year-old muse is a lover of all things fashion and style, as reported by Extra.

“Since she was a kid, she knew what she wanted to wear… When she was like 2, she would say, ‘I want this, I want that.’ She always knew what she wanted," Williams explained.

The apple didn't fall far from the tree in that area because Williams is known to always bring her A-game, on and off the court. At the CFDA Awards, she rocked a custom Thom Browne black gown accentuated with exaggerated sleeves, per PEOPLE. She completed the look with a statement necklace by David Yurman and matching earrings. Her glam included sculpted cheekbones, a soft matte pout, and luscious lashes.

In August, the tennis star and hubby Alexis Ohanian welcomed their second child, Adira River. Days later, an adorable photo of Olympia holding her baby sister while she slept was posted to her personal Instagram account.

Last month, big sister Olympia was her mom's gym buddy as Williams prepared to work on her core.

The mom posted a snap from their gym day that threw many people for a loop in an optical illusion at its best. “Olympia watching me try to get my ab muscles working again,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “Here comes fitness!”

In the snap, Williams is seen lying flat, face up on a fitness mat, while her hands are on her hips and feet planted on the ground. As her mom is positioned on the floor, Olympia’s beautiful head of curls is directly positioned in place of Williams’, which has caused many of her followers to think twice, as we did—still confused? See for yourself.
