Tennis court to runway: Serena Williams hits Fashion Week

Talk about a quick recovery. Only three days after her shocking loss in the U.S. Open final, Serena Williams went from the court to the runway to present the latest collection of her fashion label, S by Serena.
And she brought her baby daughter along for the ride: As she made her traditional post-show bow, wearing a snakeskin-style miniskirt that she designed, she was carrying little Olympia, 2, in her arms.
As befitting a tennis legend, Williams had some prominent fans in attendance, notably Kim Kardashian, TV host Gayle King, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Also attending: #MeToo movement founder Tarana Burke, who said Williams was “strong in so many ways, not just physically. I’ll always support her.”
Williams noted later on the red carpet that she her intention was “to show diversity of all colors and all backgrounds and all sizes — just beautiful women.”
Burke praised Williams’ runway for being truly diverse. “I love Serena,” she said, adding that fashion is “another world for her to conquer.

Actress Salma Hayek says she wants to protect Mexico’s image

Salma Hayek says she refrains from using social media to comment on problems in her native Mexico because she wants to protect the country’s image.
During an appearance this week to promote her Netflix series “Monarca” on a family’s tequila empire, the actress was asked why she doesn’t use her social media presence to draw more attention to Mexico’s ills.
Hayek said she doesn’t believe a post on her Instagram account can change things because most of her followers don’t live in Mexico.
At the same time, she added, a critical post puts negative attention on Mexico elsewhere in the world, and “that can affect us with tourism, with people who are trying to invest in Mexico.” She said she doesn’t want to hurt her country.
