Spanx you very much! Serena Williams enlists some extra support as she poses with trophy after Australian Open 2015 win
She's just won the Australian Open women's title for the sixth time, so it's no surprise Serena Williams wanted to look her best when she was photographed with her trophy on Sunday.
But the professional tennis player, 33, who has a to die-for physique, proved that even world number one's sometimes need the help of Spanx to smooth out her killer curves.
The American beauty oozed confidence as her supportive undergarment peeked through her white figure-hugging panel skirt while she grinned from ear-to-ear for photographers at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne.

The brunette stunner teamed her pencil skirt with a black leather crop top, revealing her enviable toned midriff and her voluptuous bust, finishing off the look with matching mesh stiletto heels.
Serena swept her long dark locks off her face into a simple sleek ponytail and kept her makeup to the minimum with a little bit of shadow on the eyes and a natural lip.
For accessories, the sportswoman wore a large white watch to match her skirt and a thin silver chain, but her prized possession was, of course, the Daphne Akhurst memorial cup, which she was awarded after beating Maria Sharapova on Saturday.

The underwear model's bootylicious body has been the subject of much attention lately after fronting the latest 'bounce' campaign for Australian lingerie brand, Berlei.
After years of stocking up on the local label every time she took a trip Down Under, the company began working with the star in 2012 to create bras that matched with her tournament outfits.
Speaking previously about her connection with Berlei, Serena said: 'My mom discovered the brand in Myer on a trip to Australia 10 years ago and I have been wearing their sports bras ever since.'

The ambassador for the brand stars in the new TV commercial, which shows her stripping down to the pretty bras and matching bottoms.
Serena told The Daily Telegraph in an interview from the set of the advert in Miami that she wasn't afraid to show off her body on camera because she's proud of her figure.
She explained: 'In our society we're often led to believe we have to look a certain way but I have learned to be proud of my curves and to embrace them.'
