Williams wore her hair pulled back in a sleek and elegant style, while her flawless skin glowed with soft, picture-perfect glam.

The vibrant fabric of Serena's dress complimented her curves as she provided a dazzling burst of color at the premiere of Creed III.

Serena came out to support Michael B. Jordan, who pulls double duty as both star and director of the boxing drama, which has received strong reviews.   

Serena beamed on the red carpet as she waved her voluminous shoulder cloak and the smiled for the cameras.

The sports icon posed alongside Chloe Bailey, 24, who looked sensational in a sultry black dress with eye-popping cutouts.

Serena's attendance at the premiere follows her powerful acceptance speech at NAACP Image Awards over the weekend when she received the Jackie Robinson Sports Award. 

After accepting the award from Kerry Washington, the tennis superstar kicked off her speech by cracking a joke about not winning at the U.S. Open. 

'I haven't held up a trophy in a long time,' she said. 'Do I do it like this? [Laughs] Thank you. It's such an honor to have a friend present this award to me today. I am incredibly grateful for your incredible kind words and your unwavering support over the years.'

In addition to athletic achievement, the Jackie Robinson Sports Award recognizes individuals for their pursuit of social justice and civil rights, along with their community involvement. 

Widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, Williams joins an illustrious pantheon of previous honorees, which includes Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Magic Johnson, Wilma Rudolph and the Harlem Globetrotters. 

On top of her 23 Grand Slam titles and seven wins at Wimbledon wins, Serena has a thriving venture capital firm and fashion brand that champions female empowerment.

In her speech, Williams said: 'It's a privilege to be recognized alongside some of the sports' most accomplished athletes like Lebron James, Michael Johnson, Wilma Rudolph, just to name a few and many other forces in the field. 

'Together, we are a team of trailblazers and we represent what's possible when you believe in yourself and your potential and follow your life and passion. 

'With the Jackie Robinson sports award, the NAACP is committed to uplifting athletes who break stereotypes and push boundaries in directions that move society forward by opening doors for generations and upcoming athletes. 

In conclusion, she declared: 'Jackie Robinson's impact goes far beyond sports. His legacy has empowered many African Americans across various industries to dream big and beyond the boxes so many of us are put in, a key message the NAACP stands for in its work. 

'That's what we're here to celebrate. Thank you for this award. It's a privilege. Thank you so much.'

The tennis phenom announced her official retirement from the sport last year in August, and she took to Twitter in December to admit that retired life isn't easy for her. 

Serena explained that it is challenging to have free time because she has spent her whole life preparing for the next tournament or game in constant competition. 

Serena welcomed her daughter Olympia in September 2017, whom she shares with her husband and Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian. 

When talking to E! News earlier this month, the sports star commented on her daughter saying, 'I hope she realizes that I was pretty good at my job and the hard work that it takes to be good at it.

'Just taking away the hard work and the excellence that you have to put your body through and the discipline that you also have to put your body through,' she continued. 

Williams also opened up about retirement in a Vogue essay published in August: 'I for sure feel more at peace now. It's interesting. 

'I think I feel torn because I'm still able to play at a very, very, very high level. With that being said, I always wanted to leave the game playing at a very high level.'

The star added, 'But it's hard because it's like, "Oh my gosh, I could still play, and I could still do all that stuff."....But I'm inch by inch leaning away, inch by inch embracing it.' 

'I don't want it to be over, but at the same time I'm ready for what's next.' Serena went on to say that tennis, 'has given me so much. I love to win. I love the battle. I love to entertain.

'My whole life, up to now, has been tennis. My dad says I first picked up a racket when I was three, but I think it was even earlier.'

Serena told Vogue that she's 'never liked the word retirement' because 'It doesn't feel like a modern word,' and said that she was looking at the changes in her life as a 'transition.'
