American tennis player Serena Williams recently modelled for designer Stuart Weitzman’s Spring ’21 collection of shoes. But there was a surprise. Along with her was three-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian. The tennis star, who is the label’s global spokeswoman, said that she saw the campaign as a way to spend more time with her daughter.
Speaking to WWD, she said, “I just felt like it was an opportunity because Olympia and I have been spending so much time together. Olympia is trying on my shoes all the time, it’s so fun — she loves to try them on and we play in them. I have a red pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes that she loves and there is the new Lyla style with a toe ring in leopard print that’s one of her favourites.”

In the pictures and videos shared on social media, the mother-daughter duo can be seen looking adorable as they twin in black and white.
The idea behind the campaign was to uphold the bond shared by a mother and her daughter. “Hope and optimism are central to every SW x SW campaign, and showcasing the powerful bond between mother and daughter in Footsteps to Follow highlights how every generation can inspire any generation — be it parents to children or vice versa — to step into each other’s shoes and step into new worlds,” the brand shared on Instagram.
