Serena Williams Let Daughter Olympia Do Her Makeup with Markers—and It Went Just as You’d Expect
Have you ever had your toddler give you a makeover that quickly devolved into utter chaos? If so, you're not the only one.
On her Instagram Stories, Serena Williams shared a fun segment called 'Serena Beauty,' starring her 2-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. In a series of videos, the tennis star's mini-me showed off her beauty skills by carefully applying "makeup" (aka markers) to her mom's face. And we're quite impressed at how Williams managed to keep so calm during the process. In case you missed it, here's a rundown of how the makeover went.
Williams's makeover had a promising start.
In the first few videos, the toddler gleefully applied green marker to her mom's lips. After coloring about half of the lower lip, she exclaimed, "Wow! Green!" And then Williams proceeded to vogue for the camera. So glam.
Olympia also admired her handiwork in the process.
Like any other talented makeup artist, the toddler took a moment to appreciate her work before continuing to apply green "lipstick," happily singing and humming in the process. Meanwhile, Serena managed to keep her cool through it all.
Williams's makeover officially turned into a dentist appointment.
After Olympia finished using her green marker, she grabbed a blue marker and had her mom open her mouth wide, as if at the dentist. She then used her marker to poke around at Williams's teeth. And Williams, who continued to play along like the good sport that she is, offered a slight look of panic. In the story, she added, "Someone help me."
Williams wasn't a huge fan of Olympia playing dentist.
In the following clip, Olympia grabbed a pink marker, which she used to continue prodding the insides of her mom's mouth. Williams, who started to take on the role of scared patient, flashed more concerned looks at the camera and started to whimper. This, however, didn't faze her daughter one bit. A determined Olympia continued to poke inside her mom's mouth, taking her job as dentist very seriously.
The segment ended on a much brighter note.
Towards the end, Olympia, who was sporting a blue princess dress, smiled and giggled at her mom's funny facial expressions. The segment then ended with a promo graphic what read, "Olympia Beauty," rather than "Serena Beauty."
It might not be the glow up that the famous mom was expecting, but it still made for a sweet mother-daughter moment. Serena, please keep the makeovers coming!
