Serena Williams’ daughter, Olympia, was spotted wearing a baby version of her mother’s on-court outfit at her latest US Open matches.

The photos of the girl wearing the previously mentioned tutu were taken while Serena was heading to the U.S. Open in late-August. The Nike brand ambassador made sure to represent with black knee-length leggings and a purple top.

She rocked the athletic wear with a Nike visor, gold necklace, a red hand-band, and white tennis shoes. Serena was holding Olympia, who wore a tutu-patterned rainbow dress paired with white socks and the cutest black shoes.

That number was very similar to the one Serena wore during her first match of the tournament: a one-shoulder white tutu outfit.

It was her first on-court appearance since the French Open ban on her famous Wakanda-inspired catsuit, and fans were all for it.

The tutu was regarded as a bold response from the tennis player who had earlier explained that she chose the Wakanda catsuit for health reasons following childbirth complications.

Virgil Abloh collaborated with Nike to design the two-toned tutu. He confessed that “with Serena, we have one of our generation's most powerful, inspiring athletes as the muse. I was trying to embody her spirit and bring something compelling and fresh to tennis.”

That was not the only time the mother-of-one put on a tutu as she put on a lavender and brown similar piece for her match versus Carina Witthoeft.

It was part of her “Queen” collection that she paired with a matching headband and White Nike tennis shoes.

After that match, she played against her sister, Venus Williams and won in two sets 6 – 1, 6 – 2. She continued playing versus Kaia Kanepi, Karolina Pliskova, and Anastasija Sevastova, winning all the matches.

In the finals, she faced the Japanese player Naomi Osaka, who defeated the American tennis in two sets, 6 – 2, 6 – 4.

However, there was one aspect of the match that shocked the world, and it was that the umpire Carlos Ramos issued Serena a warning for allegedly receiving illegal coaching through hand gestures.

Even though Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena’s coach, admitted he coached her, the tennis player denied it during the match and demanded an apology from the umpire.

She was so frustrated after the incident that she broke her racket after losing a serve. Ramos imposed a one-point penalty, and Serena called him a thief.

The tennis player was then penalized with a $17,000 fine, $10,000 of it for her remarks to the umpire, reported CNN.
