Venus Williams' Most Outrageous Get-Ups

 Although she often makes more headlines for her wardrobe choices than her aces, Venus Williams doesn't seem to mind. From tennis tutus to slits up to who knows where, Venus proves that jocks don't have to live in T-shirts and sweatpants.
As the 2011 Australian Open kicks off, Williams is heating up the scoreboard and the court with her quick victories and barely-there dresses. In the first round of this year's Open, Williams wore a tiny blue number that is one of her own designs. But it seems that Australians were spared even more of an eyeful of Williams, as she admits she made a last minute switch to black shorts rather than her signature flesh-tone shorts.

This isn't the first time Williams has let it all hang out, and it certainly will not be the last. Let's take a look back at some of her most outrageous, thigh-high ensembles.

 No, that's not Williams' very muscular bare bum -- but it sure looks like it. The tennis star took French avant-garde fashion to a whole new level when she showed up in this lacy black and red number for the 2010 French Open.

The athlete channeled her inner flamenco dancer on the tennis court for Wimbledon 2010. The famed "tennis whites only" Wimbledon tournament is known for its players' classic pleated skirts and polo shirts. We're pretty sure they didn't expect one of their players to show up in a fringed mini dress -- but hey, it is white. Williams later explained that the dress was inspired by Tina Turner, an artist she greatly admires and who gives her inspiration on the court.
