Venus Williams: Get sweaty, Get sexy

What do you feel sexiest in? A little black dress? A curve-hugging pair of jeans? For Venus Williams, the answer is something we should celebrate more often.

The question was posed to the all-time tennis great at the Lotte New York Palace, expecting a response about highlighting her ultra-long legs or dressing up for a rare night on the town. Instead, she started talking about sweat.

“I spend my whole life sweating, and you can look really sexy in workout clothes,” she told InStyle. “It’s form-fitting.”

Granted, having your own activewear line—like Williams’s EleVen—can come in handy. “We create designs that are very flattering and fun to wear, so I feel sexy every day in that,” she explained.

Also it’s very good for New York because you have to be a little chic and a little bit sporty and a little bit your own flare,” she told InStyle.
