Serena Williams is in her soft girl era since retiring from the professional tennis tour. After getting a glam makeover, Serena shared a beautiful photo of her adorable daughters, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. (known as Olympia) and Adira River Ohanian, and her husband, Alexis Ohanian.

Serena wore a strapless gown with a pearl necklace and lace fingerless opera gloves for a night out on the town with her family.

She captioned the Instagram photos: “Joy does not always roar, sometimes it whispers. It [is] important to savor those sweet moments… I love this picture so I wanted to share it with you.”

Alexis wore a black tuxedo jacket and black trousers with silk tie and white button down shirt.

He wrote in the caption:

“Late! But Happy New Year!! This shot is from V’s wedding actually, but what a beautiful wedding and let me brag a second about our two perfect little girls AKA elite flower girls.”

Some of his followers complained about the lighting in the photo, which washed out Serena’s medium brown skin.

One person wrote: “Serena is light skinned now?”

Another person wrote: “Wow she changed her entire Skin Color! SMH.”

And a third person commented: WHO WAS THAT WHITE WOMAN WITH SERENA HUSBAND AND CHILDRENS.”

Alexis checked all of them at one time.

He wrote: “Where are all the comments from idiots who don’t understand how photography lighting works.”
