Serena Williams wins another one

She just made a comeback with a Grand Slam match at the French Open on Tuesday – her first since giving birth to her daughter in September – and she wants to continue her winning streak with the launch of her very own fashion line.

The athlete and fashion designer, who has previously collaborated with HSN and Nike, debuted her 12-piece collection on serenawilliams.com Wednesday.

The customer is a girl or a woman who believes in herself, or wants to believe in herself; maybe she’s feeling unconfident that day,” Williams told WWD.

And someone that is unapologetically themselves, and that maybe they stand out; maybe they stand out because they are strong or they’re beautiful or they want to not be the norm. Our woman is someone who looks at fashion as a compass to show who they are, to show what they are.”

Dave Bautista may have just given away a huge Avengers 4 plot twist

Spoilers ahead for Avengers: Infinity War…

In the end of Infinity War, Dave’s character Drax disintegrated along with his fellow Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord, Groot and Mantis when Thanos clicked his fingers and destroyed half the world after acquiring all of the Infinity Stones.

However, Bautista has now confirmed that he’ll be back in Avengers 4, pretty much killing the tension that Guardians, T’Challa, Spider-man, Doctor Strange, Bucky Barnes, the Scarlet Witch, Nick Fury and Maria Hill were all dust.

In an interview with Collider, he said: “I got a lot of texts saying, ‘I can’t believe you’re dead, your character is dead‘!

They were really like heartbroken and I was like ‘I’m gonna be in [Avengers] 4. I’m gonna be in Guardians 3.”

He has provided relief for his fans but Marvel will sure not take this lightly.
