What's So Shocking About Venus Williams's Wimbeldon Outfit?

Comments (62)


Venus Williams is getting hit with a lot of criticism for her latest fashion choice, despite playing an excellent game at Wimbeldon earlier this week, winning a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan in just 59 minutes. But with all the shocking outfits, Venus and younger, more risque sister Serena have worn, you'd think critics would be desensitized to their revealing outfits.

"It's a jumper," Venus told the San Francisco Chronicle of her outfit." Jumpers are very now, kind of trendy right. The back is kind of, I don't know, like a cutout or a peek-a-boo. I'm always trying to do something different and fun."

The front of the jumper is rather plain, it's white with a gold zipper down the front and cutout bat-wing sleeves. It's not a polo shirt and pleated skirt, but it complied with All England Club's all-white requirement.

Perhaps the back of the outfit is what elicited the snide remarks. She's certainly showing a lot of her back, but where is the overt offense? Compared to her sister's infamous black catsuit in 2008 and recent hot pink jumpsuit, she looks practically angelic.
