She's attended Met Galas and fully immersed herself in the world of fashion.

It was recently announced that Serena Williams will be the recipient of the Fashion Icon Award at the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards.
Previous recipients of this award include Beyoncé, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, and Naomi Campbell.
Serena shared her joy and gratitude for this award in a statement:
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve used fashion as an outlet to express myself. I have had so much fun learning my style and allowing it to change as my life has evolved, but I’ve always held one thing true—fashion is for everyone, no matter your size, race, or income. I am incredibly honored to be receiving the prestigious Fashion Icon award from the CFDA, an organization whose work I have long admired and to stand among style icons I have always looked up to.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America will be presenting Williams with the honour in November, with the Chairman Thom Browne stating that Serena is one of the most inspiring people in the world and that she represents greatness on the highest level.
She is the definition of an icon so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that she is still receiving her flowers, even after retirement!
