Serena Williams shows her strong muscles as she dons He-Man costume for an 80s party

In tennis terms she's the most powerful woman in the universe.
And Serena Williams used that as inspiration for her costume for an 80s party at the weekend - dressing up as He-Man from the much-loved kids cartoon.
In her short orange wig and the instantly recognisable breastplate, the reigning French Open and Wimbledon champion looked ready to protect Castle Greyskull.

Of course, with 36 major titles - 21 in singles, 13 in women's doubles, and two in mixed doubles - Williams has no need of any added supernatural powers. 
Serena hosted the seventh annual invite-only party cum tennis tournament - which she dubs the Williams Invitational - at her luxury mansion in Florida.
Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes was among those who gathered for the 80s-themed celebrations during the course of the weekend.
Also joining the party was former NFL star Bryant McKinnie.

With his hulking physique, the 6ft8 powerhouse didn't need to think twice about his costume - deciding to come as The Incredible Hulk. 
And not for him an off the rack costume with fake muscles - instead the 36-year-old simply had his bare torso painted with body paint.
Bodypaint artist Jesse Thoreson told TMZ that Bryant paid him $600 for the custom paint job, which took three hours.

The arrival of the Williams sisters launched a new era of power tennis in the women's game, with Serena joining older sibling Venus in holding all four Grand Slam women's doubles titles simultaneously during 2009 and 2010.
But Serena has narrowly failed to win all three of the tournaments she has entered so far this year, with defeat in the final of Indian Wells and the Miami Open coming after her runner-up finish in Melbourne.
The 34-year-old begins her clay season with the Madrid Open on April 29 with the Italian Open in Rome taking place a fortnight before the next major in Paris.
