Venus Williams, 29-years-old, is known for her tennis skills and fashion statements, but at the French Open, going on now in Paris, she is addressing both. Wearing a lacy black “Can-Can” corset with spaghetti straps and red trim, Venus danced her way through 6-3, 6-3 victory over longtime foil Patty Schnyder in the opening round. Not only will her game be hard to challenge, but her outfit will be topless, what we mean is, no one will be able to top it.

“The outfit is all about illusion,” she said. “That has been a lot of my motif there year, illusion, and it’s about kind of having that illusion of wearing lace and not having anything take away under it. These days I have a lot of fun with my designs.”

Venus has been making some distinct fashion statement in her own designs. She wore a similar head turning corset at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne earlier this year (pictured below).

Venus Williams had no problem filling in for her sister, Serena, who is taking care of an injury. It had be several weeks since Venus had competed, but at the end of the day she beat out Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-4, 6-3, in the second round of the Sony Ericsson Open.

“I felt good.  You know, just haven’t played in a few weeks,” said Venus. “Just took a few games to kind of get some rhythm going and kind of really getting energy flowing. She played extremely aggressive. When her shots were landing in, it was really good stuff. But, you know, I think just toward the end my game got better and better, and I was happy with it.”

There are still some top ranked women in the play, including: Ana Ivanovic, Elena Dementieva, and Kim Clijsters. Time will tell if Venus will go the distance and takes back some of the Williams lime-light.
