Williams, a former No. 1 in both singles and doubles, as well as a 23-time Major singles champion, received the Princess of Asturias Award for her contributions to the sport over the years.

On Tuesday, she shared four pictures of herself striking poses in the all-white, open-knit dress designed by Lebanon-based fashion designer Elie Saab. Highlighting the fact that she received the prestigious honor from King of Spain Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and Princess Leonor, their eldest daughter and heir to the Spanish throne, Williams wrote:

"So… what do you wear when you’re getting an award from the King, Queen, and Princess of Spain?"

Bringing up the iconic all-white dress code of the Wimbledon Championships, the prestigious grass Major where she captured seven singles and six women's doubles crowns, Serena Williams added:

"I went with white. All white. Wimbledon rules still apply, apparently."

Not long after the post was shared, Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian took notice of it.

"Flawless!!" he commented.

Williams originally received the award in late October, following which she penned a thankful message to the ones who stood by her through thick and thin.

Soon after receiving the 2025 Princess of Asturias Award for Sports at the ceremony held in the city of Oviedo in northern Spain, Serena Williams shared how she felt about joining the likes of Lindsey Vonn, Pau Gasol, and other past recipients of the award. Calling the experience "truly humbling", the former World No. 1 wrote:

"Feeling deeply honored to receive the Princess of Asturias Award for Sports in Northern Spain. This award has been presented to so many remarkable individuals over the years, and to be recognized as part of that legacy is truly humbling. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on and off the court."

Williams bid an emotional farewell to tennis at the 2022 US Open after a shock third-round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic from Australia. Since then, the tennis legend has prioritized her life, her family, and her business ventures.
