Serena Williams is feeling like a true queen ahead of the US Open. She's taken over the streets of New York, spreading the word: The queen has arrived.

At the West Side Tennis Club in Queens, the 23-time Grand Slam champ hosted a group of young queens with the designer behind her collaboration wth Nike and Off-white, Virgil Abloh.

The US Open seeded the world No. 26 up at No. 17. After reaching the Wimbledon final, the 36-year-old went 1-2 at San Jose and Cincinnati. Even though she missed most of 2017 to have her daughter in September, Williams topped *Forbes*' list of highest-earning female athletes with $18.2 million earned in endorsements and prize money.

Right now, Serena's just focused on queen activities, like hanging out with Nicki Minaj.

And conquering the streets of New York in regal attire.
