Venus Williams won the match 6-4, 6-3

Venus Williams debuts with her new dress in Miami

Venus Williams wore Thursday night at a match in Key Biscayne through her dress she took it back to the 90s with the outfit.

Venus William's opening match at the Sony Ericsson Open, Venus wore a red, spaghetti-strapped corset trimmed with a flounce. This dress was part can-can, part Valentine's Day dress. And though it certainly flouts the conventions of tennis fashion, the dress worked : Venus won the match 6-4, 6-3.


In this match nobody seemed to care too much about that though. The first eight questions at the post-match press conference were about the dress.

The motif is really about sporty sexy women, and kind of that whole attitude of bringing that to my match, Venus Williams said. I usually don't wear red colour dress. This is kind of new for me.

Venus Williams said she plans to wear the dress for her next match as well. If it continues to bring victories, who knows ... maybe she'll get one in white for Wimbledon.
