Serena Williams brought her 4-year-old daughter, Olympia Ohanian, to the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards luncheon on March 24.
The tennis pro also shared silly selfies of the two on Instagram at Thursday's event, adding that they were leaving the luncheon early to take Ohanian to ballet class. Olympia Ohanian may only be 4 years old, but she's already on her way to becoming a red carpet mainstay. After peeking behind the scenes, the 4-year-old, who wore a checkered floral dress, joined Williams to pose for photos.
Serena Williams and her daughter Olympia Ohanian looked Instagram-adorable in their coordinating dresses ahead of the Essence luncheon.

"I made a thoughtless comment equating what I do in the film world with all that Serena Williams and Venus Williams have achieved. While responses from those in attendance were standard, the internet heel-turned from supporting Campion just days earlier to harshly critiquing her tone-deaf comment. There's no problem with this, as it's important to recognize the struggle many female actors, directors and writers face to even be nominated for awards, let alone win them. While these events are unfortunate, they are almost always because of some oversight in the production.
She completed the look with green dangly earrings, gold chain bracelets, pink jeweled rings, and see-through strappy heels. Take a look:.
