Fit for a queen! Gorgeous bride Serena Williams revealed that a very special someone played a role in one of her biggest wedding decisions — choosing her dress.
The tennis pro, 36, thanked Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for helping her pick out the stunning Alexander McQueen gown that she wore when she wed Alexis Ohanian on November 16.
She captioned a theatrical Instagram photo of the dress on Wednesday, November, 22: “For the first dress When Anna Wintour asked me what I wanted to wear I said ‘a cape I just want to wear a cape’ she said: ‘well Sarah Burton with @alexandermcqueen is the one for you.’ Thanks Anna. Thanks Sarah. I felt like a princess and superwoman all at once.

Comfort for this bride! Thanks Michelle!!!”
