LOOK: Serena Williams accidentally flashes her panties and gets people talking — Six provoking photos

Serena Williams made one of the most common fashion blunders last night when she flashed her underwear when climbing into her car. The tennis champ was attending a party in London when she made the embarrassing faux pas. Attempting to climb gracefully into the waiting car, Serena forgot to close her legs as the paparazzi caught the money shot at the right time.

Unfortunately for Serena, she chose to wear nude-coloured granny panties more suitable on Bridget Jones than a young woman on a big night out. Serena was joined by her older sister Venus who looked stunning in a cream grecian dress. Who do you think looked better out of the two? Check out the pics below…

Serena Williams stepped out in the spring sunshine a few days ago to run errands in New York City. The tennis legend showcased her toned pins in a stylish shirt dress which she teamed with a pair of metallic red stilettos during the outing.

Serena’s outfit featured little embroidered hearts over blue stripes and is from her clothing collection called simply Serena. The Serena GREAT striped Shirt Dress, which retails online for $100, comes complete with a matching belt highlighting her slim figure.

Wearing her long hair swept into a chic side parting and in big bouncy waves over her shoulder, Serena enhanced her natural beauty with classic make-up and added a pop of colour with pink nail varnish. She finished off her look with a coordinating gold heart pendant necklace.

While posing for photographers following a meeting in the city, the American tennis champion unknowingly suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. Serena flashed her knickers when her pretty dress got caught up as she walked.

The awkward mishap went unnoticed for a while as she made her way along the street showcasing her toned thighs as she went. Smiling for the cameras, the dress came apart almost to the waist to reveal her underwear underneath.

Serena Williams is arguably one of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. The tennis legend made her SI Swimsuit Issue debut in 2003 when she posed for Walter Iooss Jr. in Miami. She returned the very next year to work with Iooss in South Florida again.

Serena Williams showed off her sensational figure as she posed up a storm for the much-talked-about Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She flaunted her incredibly pert derrière in one sizzling snap, with her posing in a sexy red bikini, while she stood underneath a shower.

Another equally stunning shot showed the tennis champion showcasing some major cleavage in a bright blue one piece, with her posing in front of the crystal blue ocean and wearing her brunette locks natural and curly.
