THE world’s No. 1 ranked women’s
tennis player, Serena Williams, has been signed as the new ambassador
for Australian bra company Berlei.
Williams told Confidential she was a long-time fan of the brand
after being initially introduced to the bras by her mother, tennis
coach
Oracene Price, a decade ago, when Oracene bought a Berlei bra while
visiting Australia.
“I’ve been a fan of Berlei long before I started working with the
brand. My mom discovered the brand in Myer on a trip to Australia 10
years ago and I have been wearing their sports bras ever since,” she
told Confidential while on location in Miami shooting a commercial for
Berlei.
Williams — a favourite of celebrity mags thanks to her
incredible figure — said stripping down to play the part of lingerie
model was not an issue.
“I’m a normal woman — I can get selfconscious. But I think that is just natural for women to feel that way,” she said.
“In
our society we’re often led to believe we have to look a certain way
but I have learned to be proud of my curves and to embrace them.
“It’s important to love who you are and realise that you’re
beautiful, no matter what society says and the pressure they put on you
to look a certain way.”
