In a city known for fashion, the elder Williams sister took the court in Paris Sunday for her opening-round match wearing a lacy black "Can-Can'' corset with spaghetti straps and red trim that created plenty of buzz.
As Williams ran and jumped her way around the court, the fancy get-up -- designed to give the illusion of being see-through -- was prone to several revealing moments. Williams, who designed the outfit herself, drew whistles from the Paris crowd.

The attire certainly didn't hamper her play. The No. 2 ranked Williams choreographed a 6-3, 6-3 victory over longtime foil Patty Schnyder in the match. Williams has lost in the third round at this event in each of the past three years.
