Serena Williams is back in the spotlight, not just for her fashion-forward appearances, but also for stirring conversation with her candid observations. The retired tennis icon, 43, has been hitting major fashion events, including a SKIMS launch in New York, where Nike premiered its collaboration with Kim Kardashian’s brand.
But it wasn’t the glitz and glam that got people talking—it was what Serena found in her hotel hallway. In two Instagram videos, Williams expressed discomfort over the hotel using cotton as part of its table decorations. “Hi everyone, how do we feel about cotton as decoration? Personally, for me, it doesn’t feel great,” she said in the first clip. In the second, she touched the cotton and noted its natural texture, adding, “So actually, it feels like nail polish remover cotton. Natural.”
The videos sparked a social media firestorm. Some criticized her for her choice of husband, Alexis Ohanian, while others defended her, pointing out the historical context and questioning the hotel’s decor choice. Despite public scrutiny, Williams remains unapologetic about speaking her mind.
Fashion-wise, Williams has been turning heads internationally. At Milan Fashion Week, she premiered Gucci’s short film “The Tiger” Serena Williams gets triggered by a cotton plant decoration in her 5 Star New York Hotel.

At the same time, Serena’s post-baby transformation has drawn attention. Since welcoming her daughter Adira in 2023, Williams has lost over 30 pounds, citing a combination of gym training, tennis practice, and GLP-1 weight loss medication provided by telehealth company Ro. Fans are divided—some applaud her for taking control of her health, while others worry she may have gone too far.
Serena addressed her transformation publicly in 2024, showing off her progress in a fitted denim skirt and later revealing her turn to GLP-1 when diet and exercise plateaued. Through it all, she continues to embrace her evolution, balancing motherhood, fashion, and personal well-being.
Whether discussing historical symbolism or body image, Serena Williams proves once again that she’s unafraid to speak her mind—and the world continues to watch.
