Serena Williams returned to Wimbledon on Wednesday in her bid to win a eighth title at SW19

Serena will wear a textured white tennis dress with a swoosh crafted from Swarovski crystals

She added: ‘But of course give it a modern spin and make it just right for Serena.’

The 37-year-old American has not played a grass court tournament ahead of Wimbledon, which starts on Monday.

Serena has not played since her third round defeat at the French Open, where she caused a stir by walking on to the court wearing a superhero cape.

Williams made another bold fashion statement by walking on court wearing a cape

Serena was dressed in a zebra-striped outfit designed by Nike for her first-round match

After the banning of the catsuit she wore here a year ago Serena was not going to back down when it came to her entrance at Roland Garros.

She walked on to the court wearing a superhero cape emblazoned with the words (in French): ‘Mother, champion, queen, goddess.’

Underneath it was an outfit featuring black and white zebra stripes.

The American caused quite a stir at Roland Garros last year with her Black Panther catsuit
