PHOTOS: Serena Williams poses for Essence Magazine, talks about her “Famous Asset”

She's known for her fearless and fierce attitude on the tennis court. Now Palm Beach Gardens resident Serena Williams is putting that same attitude on display on the July cover of Essence Magazine.

The defending Wimbledon and US Open champion shows off her curves by donning a tri-toned blue one-piece swimsuit for the magazine's "Body Issue".

On the attention surrounding her body, she said;

“It can be a bit weird. Before it was, ‘Serena has a big butt,’ and that was all. Now there are way more people who feel comfortable with themselves and they’re saying, ‘I’m a woman, and this is what I look like.’ I always say, ‘We’re popular now! We’re finally in style!’”
