Serena Williams Is Strong And Sexy In A Sheer Dress

Serena Williams scored serious winning style points at the Glamour Women of the Year awards in New York City Monday night.

Clad in a sheer black pleated dress that showed off just a peek of underwear, Williams looked as fierce as ever at the ceremony that honored her back in 2009.

A style icon in her own right, Williams was on hand to give words of advice to the young women in the audience. She was joined by fellow powerhouses and past recipients Madeline Albright, Samantha Power, Iman, Liya Kebede and Billie Jean King.

The 21-time grand slam winner, who advised the crowd to “above all, be humble,” later shared some Instagram snaps from the red carpet and offered even more Serena-isms to followers. “Let the success of every woman be the inspiration for the next,” she captioned the photo.

We’re inspired just looking at you, Serena.
