Serena Williams Told She Has A 'Man's Body' While Flaunting Figure In Yellow Swimsuit

Serena Williams turned heads this week after sharing a series of beachside photos on Instagram, posing confidently in a vibrant yellow one-piece while wading in crystal-clear water.

The tennis icon kept her look simple yet striking, accessorizing with oversized sunglasses, a green scarf tied around her neck, and her signature confidence.

“melanin mellow-yellow,” Serena Williams captioned the post, which quickly racked up more than 16,000 likes within the first hour. Fans rushed to the comments to shower her with praise.

One user gushed, “This color has you GLOWING!!!" while another added, “Just saw you on the 'Today Show.' You look amazing.”

Others admired the retro vibe of her pose, with one follower writing, “Slide 3 reminds me of our moms in the 70s at the beach posing in the water.”

But while Serena’s Instagram feed was filled with positivity, not everyone was as kind elsewhere. The Daily Mail recently reported on Serena Williams’ candid remarks about weight loss, highlighting her openness about body changes since stepping back from professional tennis.

Yet despite her vulnerability, critics flooded the comment section of the outlet’s coverage with harsh words. “Barf. She could pass for a man,” one reader wrote, while another cruelly claimed, “She and her sister have men’s bodies. No weight loss will change that.”

Others piled on with comments like “Facially challenged” and “He’s Handsome…” taking jabs at her appearance instead of celebrating her athletic accomplishments and groundbreaking career.

Still, Williams’ Instagram shows a different reality, one where her fans continue to celebrate her strength, beauty, and influence.

Just weeks before her yellow swimsuit beach moment, Serena Williams shared another striking look, this time from the comfort of her own pool.

The tennis legend posed effortlessly in a black-and-white striped one-piece while leaning against the pool’s edge, flashing a big smile as she soaked up the sun. Her long, honey-blonde curls cascaded down her back in a sleek ponytail, adding to the relaxed-yet-polished vibe.

The post, a paid partnership with Beatbot Global, featured Serena promoting the AquaSense 2 Ultra pool cleaner. “Pool day minus the prep. I can always trust my @beatbotglobal AquaSense 2 Ultra to keep my pool perfect. Clean. Calm. Ready. Always.” she captioned, sprinkling in hashtags like #poolcleaner and #poollife.

While the partnership was clearly the focus, fans couldn’t get enough of Serena’s look. Her sister Venus Williams chimed in with a sweet “Gorgeous!!” while another follower declared, “You are in Grand Slam shape, Serena!”

One fan swooned over her style, writing, “LOVE this soft glam look!”

Back in February, Serena Williams gave fans a heartwarming glimpse into her life as a mom, posting photos from a beach day with her youngest daughter, Adira Ohanian. The tennis legend stunned in a leopard-print bikini, showing off her toned figure as she held Adira’s hands while letting her little one splash in the waves.

“My mini mini @adiraohanian wanted to take a dip in the ocean. I could not say no.” Serena captioned the post, which has since racked up over 410,000 likes.

The adorable mother-daughter moment drew love from fans and celebrities alike. Jamie Foxx dropped a fire emoji in the comments, while The AJ Zone praised, “Peace looks good on you, sister.”

One fan gushed, “Serena, you are truly amazing and an inspiration!!! The most decorated Olympic tennis player, a mother, and an amazing human.”

Another added simply, “Body Sis.”

Around the same time as her beach day with daughter Adira, Serena dropped another sun-soaked look during what she called a “girl’s trip.”

The 23-time Grand Slam champion lounged on a red pool chair beneath a white umbrella, rocking a green-and-white leaf-print bralette paired with matching wide-leg pants. Completing the effortlessly chic outfit, she added oversized sunglasses and a coordinating headband, keeping the vibe glamorous yet relaxed.

“Unfiltered untouched magic at magic hour #girlstrip,” Serena captioned the post, which quickly pulled in over 121,000 likes.

Her sister Venus Williams couldn’t help but hype her up in the comments, writing, “Them abs thooo” followed by “Stunning as always!” Fans piled on with praise as well, with one admirer declaring, “Super special you are, and yes we love you,” while others flooded the thread with heart emojis and fire symbols.

Serena Williams didn’t just turn heads on the beach this summer. She also showed off her dedication in the gym.

In July, the 23-time Grand Slam champion shared a mirror selfie from a workout session, wearing a black sports bra and leggings that highlighted her sculpted abs. With her hair tied back in a pink headband, Serena captioned the post simply, “Working out and working on my angles.”

The post, which earned over 240,000 likes, immediately drew praise from fans and fellow celebrities. Naomi Osaka dropped fire emojis, while Amy Schumer declared Serena the “GOAT.”

Actress Holly Robinson Peete called her “Shredded,” and TV personality La La Anthony added, “Always preparing for summer!!!!!”
