The curvy Serena Williams is flaunting all of that muscle tone as the cover girl for Essence magazine’s July 2013 ‘Love Your Body!’ issue. Killing it in a Carmen Marc Valvo ombre one-piece strapless swimsuit, the 31-year-old tennis champion told Essence that she’s still trying to wrap her mind around people being all up in her personal space when it comes to her body — especially her butt.
