Venus Williams' Most Outrageous Get-Ups

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jan 19th 2011 05:00PM

Although she often makes more headlines for her wardrobe choices than her aces, Venus Williams doesn't seem to mind. From tennis tutus to slits up to who knows where, Venus proves that jocks don't have to live in T-shirts and sweatpants.

As the 2011 Australian Open kicks off, Williams is heating up the scoreboard and the court with her quick victories and barely-there dresses. In the first round of this year's Open, Williams wore a tiny blue number that is one of her own designs. But it seems that Australians were spared even more of an eyeful of Williams, as she admits she made a last minute switch to black shorts rather than her signature flesh-tone shorts.

This isn't the first time Williams has let it all hang out, and it certainly will not be the last. Let's take a look back at some of her most outrageous, thigh-high ensembles.

No, that's not Williams' very muscular bare bum -- but it sure looks like it. The tennis star took French avant-garde fashion to a whole new level when she showed up in this lacy black and red number for the 2010 French Open. The shorter-than-short jupe didn't cover much of the super-muscular athlete's backside and gave audience members more than an eyeful of her flesh-tone spandex shorts.

Williams looked more like a Miley Cyrus backup dancer than one of the world's greatest tennis players when she took to the court in this skin-tight, sequined ensemble at the 2010 U.S. Open. Talk about a distraction -- maybe her bold fashion choices are more strategy than scandal.

Williams looked like she was ready for a night of clubbing when she once again showed up to a 2010 U.S. Open match in a sheer, black sequined number.

The athlete channeled her inner flamenco dancer on the tennis court for Wimbledon 2010. The famed "tennis whites only" Wimbledon tournament is known for its players' classic pleated skirts and polo shirts. We're pretty sure they didn't expect one of their players to show up in a fringed mini dress -- but hey, it is white. Williams later explained that the dress was inspired by Tina Turner, an artist she greatly admires and who gives her inspiration on the court.

Williams once again pulled out the flesh-toned shorts at the 2010 Australian Open and had viewers buzzing as to whether she was wearing any skivvies at all. The neon dress featured some major slits -- for movement right?

Its not about individualism, its about taste, which she has none for the game of Tennis! Maybe for Victoria Secrets runway or for Clubbing in Miami, but not for Tennis!

I'm sorry, I really don't want to be crude...but she looks like a silver back in drag.

The problem is that mostly whites were used to watching tennis until these two came along.Whites were used to the player's talent being at the forefront.These two over grown boobs want their body parts to be the attraction.They are playing to their men.Black men ,who have never watched a tennis match before these two, salavate over these get ups they wear. It's a culture thing. Whites will never get it.It's hood life.Whites are used to respectability in tennis. You ain't getting it with these two and their raciest daddy.

Kudos to the rich Williams sisters. Despite the hate they became winners is tennis. RICH WINNERS! They look sexy doing it too. Nice outfits! It you guys found that the outfits are not aces they why did you all take the pictures? Hate and jealousy!!!

I think both sisters are amazing sports icons. They obviously are the best women tennis players ever in the history of the game. I think they are both beautiful, and just maybe that is the Williams in me talking.

By michael

she is a great tennis player and got great body. If you rednecks from mid west can not see that, that is your problem, because she is enjoying her fame and wealth and does not give a damn what some of you are thinking about her.

I don't even think King Kong would groom her back !
