Serena Williams is the GOAT tennis player and GOAT bride—she received personal dress guidance from Anna Wintour, I mean, come on—and now she also has the GOAT wedding ring. By that, we mean the biggest, sparkliest, blingiest ring you’ve ever seen in your entire life. It’s even bigger than her engagement ring. Does this sound like hyperbole? Yes. Is it? No! And I have so many questions about it, too. Like, how does it exist? Because the laws of physics seem to directly contradict it.
But first, let’s backtrack to the wedding, because that is where she acquired this rock that was last valued at “more than my life.” The Beauty and the Beast-themed nuptials were a week ago in New Orleans, and the guest list included Wintour, Beyoncé, and Kim Kardashian—exactly the top three you’d want if you were going to have a famous-person wedding. Williams married Reddit’s co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, so that’s #powercouplegoals right there, and she wore three dresses at the ceremony and reception—two of them Versace, one of them custom-designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, who also did Kate Middleton’s iconic gown. The latter was designed with a cape: Williams wanted to feel like a “superhero” on her wedding day, because she knows who she is. What a night! I only regret my invitation was lost in the mail.
Williams and Ohanian’s daughter, whose name is Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. and already has more social media followers than you do, was also present. The GOAT Jr. was bedecked in finery and sitting in her maternal grandmother’s lap.
Speaking of the infant, her latest appearance was in an Instagram with her Grand-Slamming mama on Wednesday, and that, dear readers, is where we get to the extremely good part: Williams’ ring.
This ‘gram wasn’t really about Alexis at all, if you look at it closely—despite it apparently being a self-portrait the 10-week-old posted to her Instagram account (upside-down selfie! So novel!). Nor, despite her assertion in the caption, is it about the leopard print. I mean, yes, Alexis is there, but so is that massive rock on Williams’ left hand, which is so big it almost pushed the fledgling Olympian (just re-read her middle name if you don’t believe me) out of the frame.
Look at this wonder:
Thank goodness Williams is an athlete, because it must take some serious arm strength to lift her hand now. On the bright side, there is no way that ring is going to get lost down the sink. Oh, and it’s freaking gorgeous.
