Beauty with brains and power too! World number one Serena Williams has given a perfect response to her body-shaming comments.

According to The Mirror, in an interview with Good Morning America, the 33-year-old tennis star said she loves how she looks, and added she is strong, powerful and beautiful at the same time.

When Serena won Wimbledon, her appearance was criticised by nasty trolls.

Meanwhile, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was furious over the body shaming comments and demanded it to be made illegal.

The 31-year-old recording artist said she could take whatever the press threw at her, but was worried about the effect it had on the younger generation, and added that there was no sisterhood, as some of the people writing this stuff were women.
