Sports champion Serena Williams has made history as she becomes the first woman to ever wear cornrows on a Teen Vogue cover. The 37-year-old tennis star sported braids on the cover of the magazine’s December issue, which she paired with a voluminous coral jacket and gold dangly earrings. ‘We put cornrows on the cover of Teen Vogue for the first time in the publication’s history,’ the magazine tweeted on Wednesday. 
 The cover was also shot by a black woman, British photographer Ronan Mckenzie. ‘My mother once told me that to sustain myself in this industry, I would have to be what I needed when I was younger,’ the 28-year-old editor wrote in an introduction to her interview with the athlete and 12-year-old gun control activist Naomi Wadler. ‘So here we are — Serena in cornrows for the first time on a cover, in conversation with two young black girls just trying to figure out our magic.’ More phots below;
