Serena Williams Shares Behind-The-Scenes Photos From Her New York Magazine Shoot

Serena Williams shared a few behind-the-scenes photos from her New York Magazine photo shoot on Monday.

Williams, who described wedding dress design as her "first real love," will be pursuing a Grand Slam when the U.S. Open starts later this month. But, as she's proven before, Serena's sense of style has often intersected with her athletic aesthetic.
