She didn’t have to hurt ‘em like this, though.  Serena came out and tried to blind those Aussies with all the ice she had on:

Serena Williams produced a dazzling performance off the court at the Sydney International, sporting a 2.5 million US dollar diamond necklace.

The American world number two was well below her best in a stuttering 6-3, 6-7 (4/7), 7-5 first round win over Australian Samantha Stosur, but it was her sparkling necklace, replete with 427 diamonds, that sent the press photographers into a snapping frenzy.

The nine times grand slam champion made friends with a Sydney diamond designer in a visit to his boutique store over the weekend and was loaned the necklace to wear on the court.

But the thought of being entrusted with the multi-million dollar jewellery made the 27-year-old Williams nervous and she decided to only wear it at her post-match press conference away from the gaze of the fans.

“I told the jeweller that I would wear it at the press conference because I didn’t have the cash to be losing a three and a half million dollar necklace,” Williams said with a laugh.

“I’m just not comfortable with it and if it fell off I just would have go for it….. I wouldn’t care about the ball.”

The flamboyant American has worn diamonds on court before, causing some controversy at the 2004 US Open when one of her 40,000 US dollar earrings fell off during a match.

We are most definitely upset at ourselves for the life decisions we have made thus far that have resulted in us having to wear CZ jewelry items, but we ain’t mad at Serena one bit.  Do you’re thang, girl.

Those diamonds look nice, but her phatty looks good as well.  You can double dip below.

  • Shannon

    2.5 mil in jewelry, but NO ONE could get her to the M.A.C. counter and the hairdresser????

  • knottmyhair

    @ Shannon….i 100% agree with you….but hair 1st

  • ItoyaSo

    Dang, that woman is hideous from neck up. Her eyebrows look ridiculous. Her hair? Are you serious right now? I love the success she and Venus have experienced, but why must she looks so much like a tranny. (Apologizes to the beautiful, fabulously attired and manicured tranny divas out there who make Serena look like the butt end of a wheelbarrow lol)

  • Bella

    She looks like Madea

  • WTF???

    All that damn money in jewelry and she need 2 get her weave fixed! SMH…

  • Natasah

    What diamonds, I was blinded by her busted looks.

  • kahmmillion

    SMDH – Not even $2.5 Milli worth of diamonds can make this chick a dime!! SMDH

  • PhillyGrownYoungWoman

    diamonds

  • PhillyGrownYoungWoman

    @ kahmmillion

    who needs to be a dime when your a living legend. and who says she is not a dime??? what is a dime? i guess kim kardashian is a dime huh?? a woman who wouldnt breathe on you if your not rich. black dudes kill me. othe men love black women but yall bash them. same ol same ol i guess.

  • Roe ski Love

    I understand this is after her match, but DAMN she could have put on some makeup and did something with her hair, even if it took an hour the media would have waited. It just aint right to have on $2.5 million around your neck and look funky. Like when I see my Ghetto Niccas pull up in a 600 Benz and get out in cutoffs and tims with a doo rag on. (you look stupid)Trying to make a statement that they keepin it real.

  • YSR

    Trust, I am not looking at that ice! we know why Common is with ole girl

  • BeeGee

    Protect ya neck

  • twilight

    OMG she is sooo manly looking OMG I just can’t get over it. The diamonds doesn’t do anything for her it’s better on a mannequin or better yet a feminine REAL woman.

  • Lex

    That heffa couldn’t take two minutes to put on some concealer???

  • Bad Red Bone

    GOD BLESS HER MOM AND HER DAD,DAMN! I BET SHE STRONG AS FU**!

  • Couldhave

    They could have airbrushed her like they do all of the other celebrities to enhance their looks. Serena is not ugly in my opinion. They put up the worst photos of her just so that you all will have something to talk about and to keep them in business. Serena you have it going on!

    Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and who cares what she looks like, isn’t this article about the diamonds, so many of us in the world need to Grow up. I wonder if the ones criticising are teaching this to their children, nieces and nephews, no wonder the world continues to revolve the way it does.
