NEW YORK (AP):
SERENA WILLIAMS upgraded her US$40,000 pair of platinum chandelier earrings for her second-round match at the US Open on Wednesday night, and added a sparkly diamond necklace.
"It's really nice. My stylist pulled it for me. I fell in love with it," Williams said after her 6-2, 6-2 victory over Catalina Castano of Colombia. "It's a lot of diamonds."
The oh, so stylish Williams loves to cause a fashion stir, especially at the Open. Last year, the two-time champ turned heads with knee-high black boots, a denim mini-skirt, and a studded black tank top. This year, it's all about the diamonds.
She wore 'The Dream Catcher' earrings for Monday's first-round match, complete with 13 carats of diamonds. Though she initially considered wearing a new pair - worth the same, but with only eight carats - for her Wednesday night match on centre court, she decided instead to wear the original ones and add some diamond studs.
