Serena Williams Questions Cotton-Plant Decor in N.Y.C. Hotel on Instagram

The Instagram posts came during a brief New York stop for a SKIMS–Nike campaign appearance.

Overview

  • Williams posted Instagram Stories asking followers how they feel about cotton used as decoration and said it does not feel great to her.
  • In a follow-up clip, she handled the material, compared it to nail polish remover cotton, then cringed and stepped out of frame.
  • The display she filmed was a vase holding a cotton plant placed on a table in a hotel hallway.
  • Her New York visit included a SKIMS event tied to the Bodies at Work film promoting a SKIMS–Nike collaboration featuring several athletes.
  • Coverage has not reported any public response from the hotel or the brands about the decoration.
