Conservative-minded gossipers around the Web are calling the look risque, but, let's face it, it doesn't show off any more or any less than the average tennis dress. But we will say it looks more like lingerie than something an athlete competes in, and it must be rather distracting to her opponent. Maybe that's the point?
Check out some of the other crazy tennis outfits the Williams sisters have unveiled over the years.
Wacky Williams Sister Fashion
Venus turned heads recently in this lingerie-inspired lace dress. Is it too risque for tennis?
Serena Williams sported this studded Nike top and a daring denim skirt during the 2004 US Open.
There's nothing so wrong with this lavender tennis dress Venus wore a few years back, but we generally think sequins should be reserved for evening wear.
Serena says this controversial catsuit, which she wore for the 2002 US Open, was what made her famous. It certainly made a legion of men take note of her attributes -- and we're not talking about athletic prowess.
Back in '04, the younger Williams paired a sporty jacket (it says Serena on the back) and a flirty black skirt with "knee-length" tennis shoes.
Is this beachwear or tennis gear? Serena has been causing controversy for years with her daring on-court ensembles. This two-piece number from 2004 is no exception.
This hot pink corset-like dress, which Venus wore in April 2010, was the precursor to her controversial lace getup.

Venus-You go girl! It's all about strategy & disarming your opponent. How do u think they got where they are? These 2 are 2 smart cookies.
And they are laughing all the way to the bank!
We should all be so shrewd. Look how distracted some of these bloggers are. They prob don't even watch Tennis but they are sure watching what the twins have on.
I celebrate these sista's with all the flash, bling and beautiful bodies. They r African American so deal with it!
