Dress up as feminist icon Serena Williams for Halloween with a trendy and in-the-news costume that will attract attention. Serena's awesome catsuit outfit that she wore during the French Open was regarded as disrespectful by competition authorities, even though she wore it for health reasons (she needed the extra compression following a difficult pregnancy and birth). The star player took the ban in stride, making us love her even more. If you'd like to dress up like our heroine, here are some ideas for putting together an outfit.
