It’s taken Serena Williams more than half her life to accept her muscular thighs and “massive butt.”On the pages of the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the 28-year-old tennis champ reveals that used to compete with her big sister Venus off the court as much as on it, and opens up about her body image, embracing her curves, and dating — revealing the reason behind her recent split from rapper/actor Common. The chat is accompanied by a photo spread, which features a newly slimmed-down Serena decked to the nines in an eye-popping Fendi dress and swimsuit by Eres.
Serena on Common: “His schedule is actually worse than mine. He didn’t want the responsibility. It’s really tough.”
On her body image: “I was 23 when I realized that I wasn’t Venus. She’s totally different. I’m super curvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She’s tall and she’s like a model and she fits everything. I was growing up, wanting to be her, wanting to look like her, and I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn’t. But it’s fine. Now I’m obviously good, but it’s a weird thing. . . . To this day, I don’t love my arms. People want more fit arms, but my arms are too fit. But I’m not complaining. They pay my bills.”
On beauty: “Since I don’t look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good. I feel so much sexier with short hair. I wanted to reach inside me and feel better. I don’t want to hide behind a facade of hair.”
On Going from a Size 10 to a 12: “I’ve been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won’t be bulky,” she told the magazine, adding that she never diets.”
