Serena Williams Shows Off “Radiant Skin” in Blue Workout Attire

Serena Williams is sharing her basic, everyday beauty look with her 17.2 million Instagram followers—and it’s refreshingly simple. Williams, 42, posted a picture of herself wearing a blue Nike workout jacket, showing off her beautiful less-is-more makeup style with glowing skin and gorgeous eyebrows. “Eyebrows and tinted moisturizer completes my natural ‘on the run’ day look,” she captioned the post. “Your brows omgggg,” a fan commented. Here’s how Williams stays fit and fabulous both on the court and off.

(1) Cardio Queen

Williams needs to do some form of cardio every day, with running being her favorite. “My at-home fitness routine right now is just a lot of cardio,” she told Vogue. “I do HIIT workouts (high-intensity interval training), a little stretching, a little strength training, but mostly cardio training. I do the cardio exercises on Tonal, which is really helpful for me just to get my body back and used to calisthenics.”

(2) Eat To Live

Williams enjoys eating but tries to keep it as healthy as possible. “My philosophy is eat to live. Don’t live to eat,” she told Women’s Health. “I want to have a healthy lifestyle and, so you know, [I’m eating] a lot of greens and mostly plant-based lately, just super healthy stuff… You need it to survive. And [that’s] very hard to live by, cause I definitely love to snack, but this is what I want. These are my goals.”

(3) Moody Eater
Williams rarely eats in the mornings, and changes up her diet depending on her moods. “The only time I eat pasta is when I’m playing/training,” she told Women’s Health. “Usually, you’ll never see me eating pasta otherwise. ‘Cause I feel like I’ve had to eat it so much in my career. It’s just like, I never want to see pasta again… I can have a smoothie for six months,” she says. “And then I’ll be like, I never want to see a smoothie again for the next six months. And then I’ll be like, okay, I’m back on the smoothie. My eating is very moody.”

(4) Strength Is Beauty

Williams has come to be proud of her strong, beautiful physique. “My view of strength has definitely evolved over the course of my life and the course of my career,” she told Tonal. “I feel like, at the beginning of my career, I didn’t embrace strength. I felt like I had it, looked it, I felt it, and I was it. But I didn’t embrace it… I think once I embraced it and didn’t really care about what other people said or what people thought, people started to realize that strength is beauty, and there’s something amazing and beautiful about being strong.”

(5) Meditation and Prayer

Williams protects her spiritual health as well as the physical. “I’m working on practicing meditation,” she told Vogue. “I feel like I need to do it regularly. Do I? No. But I’m getting there! I also understand that prayer is a form of meditation. My motto is: Any time, any day, we can pray. It’s not like I have to pray at a particular time; it’s just any time I feel I’m feeling stressed or misguided, I just say a prayer.”
