Houston, Serena Williams has a problem.
On January 28, the tennis champion shared a video on Instagram in which she appears in a bathroom wearing a tight black bodysuit.
"I had this cool Valentino skirt when I was pregnant, and I was like, 'I'll be able to wear this when I don't have a belly anymore,'" she said, revealing a long denim skirt from the Italian luxury house.
But when she starts to try it by sliding her legs inside, something unexpected happens.
“It doesn't work,” she says with humor when she notices that the skirt is stuck at the buttocks.

The term “impossible” is not, however, part of Serena Williams' vocabulary, determined to fit into her skirt sooner or later.
“Honestly, I should have been able to adapt it, but I was distracted for about a month,” she continued, referring to her recent motherhood, before declaring always with humor: “Houston, we have a problem."
The tennis player, who gave birth to her second child in August 2023, also announces in the video that she is setting a one-month goal to get back into shape.
“It hurts my soul...There’s nothing wrong with you,” comments “plus size” model Alison Zupancic under the video.
“Girl, people pay to have that kind of butt.
Be proud!” added a subscriber.

As with many women, the postpartum experience is a real challenge for Serena Williams.
“After having a baby, I felt like I was hit by a bus,” she explained in early January in the caption of a TikTok video in which she removed her wig, her baby in her arms.
And to continue: “Not only is your body impacted, but your mind too.
(Well, at least for me.) See you in 2024!… A year in which I hope to regain my mind and my body!”
