Serena Williams shared a stunning flashback photo on Instagram on Monday night.
The 42-year-old tennis star looked very toned and slim in a tiny black bikini, which consisted of a low-cut top and tiny briefs, with straps on her hips.
The tennis diva’s belly button was adorned with a diamond inlay, a millennium trend started by Britney Spears.
Her hair was tousled, with curly tendrils falling around her face, and her makeup was minimal with pale pink lipstick.
The snap read “Share a photo from a very different time in your life.”
The cover girl looked to be in her 20s when this photo was taken. A bright smile spread across her face, making it seem like she had no worries.
The athlete previously welcomed her second daughter with husband Alexis Ohanian in August.
She shared a sweet clip of herself, her husband, five-year-old daughter Olympia and newborn baby Adira River Ohanian.
The caption read: “Welcome my beautiful angel.”
In the video, Serena looked beautiful in a pink dress that paid tribute to her new daughter as she walked up to Alexis and kissed him.
Olympia, also dressed in pink, walked over to join her parents, who kissed her before Serena said she forgot something.
The star then returned to the frame, holding the couple’s newborn daughter, as the family celebrated their second child together.
Alexis revealed the baby’s adorable name on Instagram, writing: “Welcome, Adira River Ohanian.
“I’m so happy to say that our house is filled with love: a happy and healthy newborn girl and a happy and healthy mom.
‘Feel grateful. @serenawilliams, you have now given me another incredible gift – you are GMOAT. Thank you to all the wonderful medical staff who took care of my wife and daughter. I will never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her little sister.
“Your peace will be like a river, and your happiness will be like the waves of the ocean.”
In early August, Serena revealed her daughter’s gender at a party with her husband.
The tennis player and her spouse first met in a hotel in Rome in May 2015 and they started dating soon after.
The couple got engaged in December 2016 and welcomed daughter Olympia the following September.
The two later tied the knot in a star-studded wedding in New Orleans in November of that year.
Williams announced her second pregnancy ahead of this year’s Met Gala in May.
The former athlete spoke about motherhood in an interview with Vogue, saying she didn’t think of herself as a parent when she was younger.
“Early in my career, I never thought about having children. Sometimes I wondered if I should bring children into this world of problems. “I’ve never been that confident or comfortable around babies or children,” she says.
Williams later said she has since learned to embrace parenthood and said she has become particularly attached to her daughter.
“The truth is, when it came to the Olympia, there was no sacrifice for me. It all made sense,” she said.
