Serena Williams Is Completely Naked On The Cover Of Vanity Fair’s 2017 Issue

Serena Williams is due in a few months, but she isn’t about letting this pregnancy come and go without posing for the now mandatory nude maternity shoot.

The tennis champion bares it all as she covers the August 2017 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

In a couple of the images shot byAnnie Leibovitz, the soon-to-be-mum went totally naked except for a waist chain and a dark brown thong.

In other shots, she poses intimately on the beach with her fiancé, Alexis Ohanian who she fondly talks about in the accompanying interview.

She opened up on meeting Alexis and the proposal that shocked the world while also talking about how surreal it is that she is having a baby.
