Venus Williams is not only known for her amazing tennis skills, but more recently she's been getting hype for her [crazy fashion choices on the court](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-tennis-runways). After the black lingerie-resembling outfit a couple of weeks ago, Venus Williams has done a 180 and chosen a white fringed ensemble, which she says is inspired by [singing icon Tina Turner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-is-art).

Venus says of the outfit, "My dress was inspired by Tina Turner. It still has a lace motif and I think it's just a fun, elegant dress. Here it's all about white. There is no illusion this time. I love Tina Turner." Venus Williams is a force to be reckoned with!
