First look: Serena Williams' Australian Open dress

Serena Williams always bring a bit of colour to the Australian Open, and now punters have got their first glimpse at what will light up Rod Laver Arena.

The tennis player, and part-time fashionista, is known for her colourful frocks and the 2012 iteration is no exception.

"I love this outfit because it makes your waist look small," the American superstar said.

"Everyone's always trying to look thinner, I know I am".

Williams is aiming to win her sixth Australian Open crown after last winning in 2010.
