Serena Williams stepped out at the Wimbledon Champions’ dinner on Sunday evening, looking absolutely stunning in a pale pink gown.

The tennis superstar was celebrating her sixth Wimbledon title win, and her brilliant star turn on the red carpet came just days after ‘Harry Potter’ author JK Rowling’s body-shaming row on Twitter.

The writer was tweeting her delight at Serena’s win, when another Twitter user wrote back, stating that Serena is “built like a man”.

JK Rowling hit back immediately, sharing a picture of Serena looking gorgeous in a bodycon dress, adding the comment: “Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot.”

Amazing.

At the Wimbledon dinner, Serena’s figure-hugging gown showed off her figure, and she kept her accessories simple, sporting a watch and wearing her hair down.

Serena was joined at the event by fellow champ Novak Djokovic, and the duo enjoyed a dance on stage.
