Serena Williams Criticizes NYC Hotel Décor Choice
Serena Williams has raised concerns about the décor at a New York City hotel after noticing what appeared to be a cotton plant displayed in one of its corridors. The tennis legend took to Instagram to share her discomfort, sparking conversation online.
Williams, 44, is currently in the city to support the launch of Kim Kardashian’s NikeSKIMS collection. During her stay, she spotted the decoration and questioned the choice in an Instagram Story. “Alright everyone—how do we feel about cotton as decoration? Personally, for me, it doesn’t feel great,” she remarked.
The sight of the display seemed to strike a personal chord. Cotton has deep historical associations in the United States, and Williams hinted that seeing it in a hotel setting felt unsettling and inappropriate.
