If you've been watching the French Open at all, you may have noticed the lace tennis dress that Venus Williams has been sporting. Actually, it seems that's all people have been noticing all week. Some critics thought that Venus' outfit was disrespectful to the game and it got even worse when the dress went up and revealed her flesh colored shorts; many people thought she wasn't wearing any underwear and it was her actual bare booty on display.
"It's really all about the illusion," Williams told reporters after her first couple of matches. "What's the point of wearing lace when there's just black under? The illusion of just having bare skin is definitely, for me, a lot more beautiful."
But that didn't stop people from talking about her gear more so than her play on the court. And because of that, Venus, who didn't drop a set while wearing the lace gear, announced that after the French Open, the outfits are staying in the closet.
"As great as the design is, I really want the focus to be on the tennis," said Williams after her last match on Friday.
Both Venus and Serena are still winning matches throughout the tournament and are usual favorites to challenge for the French Open trophy.
