“From banned catsuit to a show‑stopping tutu—Serena’s US Open outfit is breaking the internet! 🔥 Click to see the viral video and tell us which second had you screaming! 😱”

“When the French Open banned”

Serena Williams’ iconic black catsuit in 2025, the tennis world braced for a quieter New York. Instead, the 23‑time Grand Slam champion showed up at Flushing Meadows in a bold, one‑sleeved dress paired with a fluffy black tulle tutu—an outfit that instantly became the talk of the tournament.

The look was a surprise collaboration between Nike and Off‑White designer Virgil Abloh, and it wasn’t just fashion; the black fishnet tights underneath gave her the same compression protection she relied on in the catsuit, proving the ban couldn’t dampen her style or her game.

The moment the camera panned to Serena’s entrance, the internet lit up. Within hours the clip was looping on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram, racking up millions of views and a flood of reactions. Fans called the ensemble “pure artistry,” while commentators highlighted how she turned a restriction into a runway‑ready statement.

Even Billie Jean King weighed in, tweeting that policing women’s bodies must end and praising Serena’s “superpowers” on and off the court.

Social media exploded with memes, fan art and endless speculation about the design process. Nike’s official account shared a behind‑the‑scenes photo of the tutu, captioning it “You can take the superhero out of her costume, but you can never take away her superpowers.” The viral video of Serena twirling on the baseline, the tulle catching the lights, has become a highlight reel for anyone covering the US Open fashion moments.

Beyond the aesthetics, the outfit sparked a broader conversation about dress codes in tennis. Critics of the ban argued it was a thinly veiled attempt to control an athlete’s body, while supporters pointed to “respect for the game.” Serena’s elegant response—combining performance gear with high fashion—has reignited the debate, showing that style and functionality can coexist without compromising the sport’s integrity.

The buzz hasn’t been limited to the courtside crowd. Fashion editors are already ranking the tutu among the most memorable tennis outfits, and the hashtag #SerenaTutu is trending across platforms.

Whether you caught the moment live or saw it in a 15‑second clip, the look has cemented itself as a cultural flashpoint, proving once again that Serena Williams can turn a rule change into a global conversation.
