Superwoman! Serena Williams Makes Her Comeback On The Court Wearing A Black Panther Catsuit

Wakanda Forever!

Being though it’s Wednesday, we find no better time than now to fan out over tennis legend Serena Williams. There's no denying, she’s not just our #WCW, she’s our #WCE.  

Without missing a beat, the tennis champ returned to the court for the very first time since giving birth to her baby girl, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., last September and, as expected, won Tuesday’s French Open match—in style, of course! 

“Catsuit anyone?” she teased on Twitter while showing off her superhero style look for the match.

Poised to snatch up medals and trophies, the first-time mom showed off her stunning snapback in a black Nike catsuit featuring a red band around the waist.

What was the inspiration behind the jaw-dropping look? She was doing it “for all the moms out there who had a tough recovery from pregnancy,” according to her Twitter post.

“If I can do it, so can you,” she confessed, referring to the major health scares she experienced, including the moment her C-section popped open.

ICYMI: This wasn’t the first time the 36-year-old tennis star wore a catsuit on the court.

Keep scrolling to see her husband, Alexis Ohanian Sr., show love to her bawdy with a side-by-side of her in 2002 at the U.S. Open along with a photo at her recent game.

Sixteen years later and she’s still killing the game—and she knows it! See how she's showing off her post-pregnancy body on the July cover of Harper’s Bazaar U.K.

Yas, curve queen!

We are beginning to think one-pieces are going to be her thing this summer, because she was even captured by photographer Richard Phibbs in a sporty jumpsuit by Dior along with lace-up boots custom made by the fashion house’s designer, Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Are we the only ones mesmerized by her #BlackGirlMagic?

If you're wondering, the July issue of Harper's Bazaar goes on the newsstands on May 31.
