Serena Williams and Her Black Lace Glove

Is Serena Williams' glove a tribute to Michael? Or Madonna? Photos: OHPIX/X17online.com | AP Photo/Lynne Sladky

Tennis star Serena Williams has recently taken to wearing a single black lace fingerless glove, usually on her left hand.

She first showed up gloved to watch sister Venus Williams play in the Sony Ericsson Open on March 29th. A few days later, Williams was still wearing the glove when she frolicked in the Atlantic Ocean on Miami Beach, April 2nd (above left). On April 4th, Williams returned to the Sony Ericsson Open... still sporting the glove (above right).

Is the lacy look a Madonna-style throwback? A Michael Jackson-style signature accessory? A good luck charm for sister Venus?

We're on the case attempting to find out. But really, who wears a glove to the beach? Into the ocean, no less!

You are a racist pig!! Evidently, Uncle Sam had no problem with kidnapping and raping Mother Africa. You all are just hating on her, and by the way, she and her sister, Venus, have won more championships and are great role models for "real" women.

This falls under the "lipstick on a pig" analogy. It's still a pig

I think the people who have negative things to say about people of color are ignorant...(ie...T & tom). Your opinions reflect your brain size....small.

Seriously,

It doesn't matter what anyone posting thinks, including myself. She's rich. You are poor (compared to Serena). She's famous, you are not. Just the fact that we are all discussing her here shows some sort of admiration or else we would not waste the time to type anything because we would not care! Love her or hate her, she is on your mind. That is the bottom line. She has you interested. She has it all. You don't.

Get real Jasmine. You seriously think that because she has money she has it all? Or that people paid attention to this posting because they all admire her? It's pretty obvious that all the money in the world won't but true love, happiness or, in this case, a decent swimsuit. If you saw ANY other woman walking down the beach in that gloved outfit you'd laugh. Yet, there she is, with all that money, looking no better than a Wal-Mart refugee.

I don't love her. I don't hate her. She is never on my mind. I'm not interested in what she has to say. She just happened to be posted as I was surfing online, just like the dozens of other articles. That gawd-awful swimsuit and Spidergirl glove caught my eye and made me laugh. I just had to page down and see who was defending her style sense. All you're concerned about is her money and fame. Welcome to America.

Were you looking for one for yourself or someone who enjoys that trashy look? She probably designed it and had someone make it for her. Tight and trashy is the look she and Venus love. Venus looked like a hooker getting ready for a trick last week in that red and black get-up she was wearing on the courts in Miami. Goes to show you, money can'y buy style or class.

For the same reason whites go tanning...it's a personal preference. Don't be so quick to pass judgement!
