Serena Williams continues inspiring women in sport as she ties the knot #WTA

Serena Williams married her millionaire fiance Alexis Ohanian in a lavish ceremony in New Orleans in front of A-list guests including Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. The tennis champ, 36, threw a Beauty and the Beast-themed bash and held a cocktail reception in the street outside the venue. The nuptials were shrouded in secrecy, and even A-list attendees including Jay Z, Beyonce and Kim didn't find out the exact details until the morning of the wedding.

It was held at the city's historic Contemporary Arts Center last night and veteran boyband New Edition were reportedly booked to play a set at the reception. Other guests included actress Eva Longoria, who attended with her husband Jose Baston.

Kim Kardashian was spotted jetting into New Orleans ahead of the ceremony, and she saved time by getting changed in the airport before heading into town for the bash. Serena's sister Venus was among the guests along with her daughter Serena's two-month-old daughter Alexis. Fellow tennis star Caroline Wozniacki wowed in a long blue dress as she attended with her new fiance, basketball player David.
