She has now revealed the reason for her super stylish outfits. From a young age, she has always felt insecure. She said she used to compare herself to sister, Venus.
“I felt weird, like, my boobs were bigger than Venus’s, and my body was thicker. I was curvier,” she said during an interview with GQ. “I was like, ‘Why am I not Venus?'”
Her late half-sister Yetunde was the one who helped change her mind, after which Serena learned to embrace the things that made her feel insecure.
She says, “I was really struggling, and she’s [Yetunde] like, ‘You know, everyone is different. You’re not Venus, and you’re never going to be Venus. You’re never going to be as thin as her, and that’s okay. And you’re never going to be as tall as her, and that’s okay. Nothing is wrong with that. You have a beautiful body on your own. You have a beautiful face.’ And that’s when I first started being more comfortable with who I was.”
Since having that discussion with her sister over a decade ago, Serena learned her insecurities actually “had nothing to do with Venus.”
