<\/p>\n

\n

Serena Williams<\/a> courted curiosity after calling out what appears to be a hotel for its cotton plant decoration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In an Instagram story she shared Thursday, the camera approaches the arrangement as Williams says, \u201cAll right, everyone, how do we feel about cotton as a decoration? Personally for me, it doesn\u2019t feel great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In another story, she holds a piece of the cotton in her gloved hand. \u201cSo actually it feels like nail polish remover cotton,\u201d she says, wiping her nails before making a cringing gesture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Multiple<\/a> outlets<\/a> covered the post<\/a> as some of the obvious questions remained unanswered by the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion herself: Was she merely criticizing a design aesthetic or suggesting the cotton plant carried historical implications of racism?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
