Venus Williams has spent decades in the global spotlight as one of tennis’ most dominant champions, but now at 44, she’s also becoming a powerful voice in beauty and wellness.
Recently named a Dior Beauty ambassador, Williams is opening up about her evolving skincare journey, embracing fine lines, and how confidence remains the ultimate beauty essential.
For Williams, skincare has always been more than just a routine, it’s a form of self-care. She admits that her relationship with her skin has shifted over time, especially after entering her 40s. “Your skin changes as you age, and you learn to care for it differently,” she told ESSENCE. Fine lines and subtle signs of aging have become part of her reality, but instead of resisting them, she’s embracing treatments that support both health and confidence.
One of her current go-to products? Dior’s latest eye treatments, which target puffiness and lines. Williams says these have helped her maintain a refreshed look, especially given the physical demands of her career and her busy lifestyle off the court. “I want my skin to feel nourished and resilient,” she shared, emphasizing that her approach is more about enhancement than correction.
Partnering with Dior Beauty feels like a natural fit for the tennis legend, who has long balanced strength with elegance. The brand’s commitment to luxury and innovation mirrors her own philosophy of excellence, whether on the court or in her personal care. “I love that Dior empowers women to feel beautiful at every age,” Williams explained.
Beyond skincare, Williams also uses her platform to remind women that confidence is the real key to beauty. “Fine lines or not, it’s about how you carry yourself,” she said. “Confidence is something no cream can give you, it has to come from within.”
Her perspective is refreshing in a beauty industry often focused on perfection. By championing both high-performance products and inner assurance, Williams is encouraging women to embrace every stage of life with grace.
As she continues to expand her influence beyond tennis, through entrepreneurship, advocacy, and now beauty, Venus Williams proves that true icons evolve without losing their essence. And with Dior Beauty by her side, she’s showing that aging doesn’t mean dimming your shine, but rather finding new ways to let it glow.
