Williams last caused a stir with her athletic gear in May, when she wore a racy lace dress during the French Open. Click through our gallery for more of the Williams sisters interesting tennis looks.
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.

ERIC IS A RACIST - THE WAY TO GET BACK AT ERIC AND OTHERS LIKE HIM IS TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER.
THE RACIST VIDEO FABRICATED BY THE TEA PARTY PEOPLE AGAINST MRS. SHERROD SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR MOST PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER.
ALL OF THE RACIST THINGS THE TEA PARTY HAS DONE AND SAID AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA AND OTHERS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER.
ALL OF THE RACIST REMARKS POSTED ON BLACK VOICES BY ERIC, BILL AND OTHER REPUBLICANS AND TEA BAGGERS ON A DAILY BASIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER.
DECISION 2010 - VOTE
***THE DEMOCRACTS CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE ANY SEATS***
THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO TAKE SEATS AWAY FROM THE DEMOCRACTS.
THE REPUBLICANS DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS TO ANYTHING THAT WILL HELP THE ECONOMY IF THEY DID THEY WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING DURING THE LAST 2 YEARS BUSH WAS IN OFFICE. THE PARTY OF NO HAD NO ANSWERS DURING THE LAST 2 YEARS BUSH WAS IN OFFICE AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS NOW.
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS STICKING TO HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES AND THE REPUBICANS KNOW THAT HE IS THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SO PISSED OFF. THAT'S WHY THEY POST ON BLACK VOICES 24 HOURS A DAY.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
PRESIDENT OBAMA CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE DEMOCRACTS.
THE PARTY OF "NO" (THE REPUBLICANS AKA THE PARTY OF RACIST LIARS) DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE ISSUES AFFECTING AMERICANS THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT BIG BUSINESSES.
THIS UPCOMING NOVEMBER ELECTION IS GOING TO BE CRUCIAL. WE ALL KNOW THE POLLS ARE A LIE. THEY ARE SAYING THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA IS LOSING SUPPORT. HE HAS NOT LOST MY SUPPORT AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT I KNOW VOTED FOR HIM. MICHAEL BAISDEN DID HIS OWN POLL TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ANSWERED THOSE SO CALLED POLLS THEY SHOW ON TELEVISION SAYING THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S NUMBERS ARE SLIPPING. NONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT MICHAEL BAISDEN POLLED RESPONDED TO ANY OF THOSE SO CALLED POLLS. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE ANSWERING THOSE POLLS ARE THE REPUBLICANS LIKE ERIC WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA ANY WAY.
JUST LIKE EVERY FIRST POST ON BLACK VOICES STARTS WITH ERIC, BILL, GERALD OR THE REST OF THOSE WHITE RACIST REPUBLICANS....THEY ARE ALSO THE SAME ONES ANSWERING THOSE POLLS. SO OF COURSE THE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO BE SLIPPING BECAUSE THE POLLS ARE BEING ANSWERED BY PEOPLE LIKE ERIC AND BILL WHO DID NOT SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THE WAY TO GET BACK AT PEOPLE LIKE ERIC IS TO SHOW UP IN NOVEMBER AND VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRACTS.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALL ABOUT. WE DON'T HAVE ALZHEIMER'S I CAN SAY HURRICANE KATRINA. WE ALL REMEMBER THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. THE REPUBLICANS HAD NO ANSWERS THEN AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS NOW.
BTW THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO DO AWAY WITH SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE.
VOTE IN NOVEMBER

Eric, you must hate what you envy. Most of us know better than to paint with a broad brush.
You're ALWAYS in these black chats talking out of your ass. Did some sister turn you down, and now you're trying to malign the rest of us? Get the hell over your grudge because you don't even matter in the grand scheme of things.
True, the outfit is butt-ugly. Still, Venus' taste does not represent all black womens' clothing preferences. What you assert is as unfair and bigoted as someone asserting all white girls are trashy just because Madonna, Britney, and Lady Gaga dress skank-tified. Get out of these chats and go experience the real world for a change. You need to learn more and comment less.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FK UP. VENUS CAN SPEAK AT LEAST 7 LANGUAGES, AND SHE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL WITH TOP HONORS. YOU SHOULD WISH YOUR KIDS WERE SMART AS VENUS AND SERENA.
