The"broosh" is made out of 34 Swarovski crystals, 34 for the age she was when she won her last Wimbledon.Serena Williams is back at Wimbledon in an all-white minidress with cutouts , a super-fashionable statement to match her win over Giulia Gatto-Monticone. But, the outfit has even more special significance than first meets the eye, thanks to insight by Heidi Burgett of Nike.

It's like a good luck charm, as Serena chases her 8th Wimbledon win. It's also a nice sign of support, considering Serena has faced backlash over her trademark catsuits, which she wore for health reasons to prevent blood clots.
