GQ has announced its Men of the Year for 2018 — and a Woman of the Year, too.
Serena Williams poses on one of four covers of the magazine's December issue, where she's nicknamed 'The Champion' alongside 'The Leader' Michael B. Jordan, 'The Star' Henry Golding, and 'The Director' Jonah Hill.
The 37-year-old tennis superstar certainly looks the part in her cover shot, modeling a black long-sleeve turtleneck leotard with a bold cutout across the chest and a statement-making Chanel chain belt wrapped around her waist.
The Champion: Serena Williams poses on one of four covers for GQ's Men of the Year issue, being named 2018's Woman of the Year
GQ spotlighted four people who 'did amazing things' in 2018 as part of its 23rd annual Men of the Year issue.
Serena, the Champion of the Year, made the cut for obvious reasons.
Having welcomed a baby last fall and faced life-threatening complications during childbirth, she made her return to the Grand Slam circuit this year, taking just months off before she began training again.
'No matter how you cut it, Serena Williams had a remarkable year,' the magazine said of its choice to include the 'G.O.A.T.' Serena in the line-up.
In a new interview, which will be published on Thursday, Serena will open up about playing in the U.S. Open, her plans for the future, Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court appointment, and 'what it's like to be a black woman in America in 2018'.
It has certainly been a busy, and at times, difficult year for the Grand Slam champion, both on and off the court.
At the Open this year, Serena earned a lot of positive attention for the Nike x Off White tutu dresses she modeled while playing — but her appearance also stirred up some controversy when she got involved in a ferocious arguement with a referee during the final, saying he stole the tournament from her.

Mom power: The 37-year-old was picked for doing 'amazing things' this year — including coming back to tennis so quickly after having a baby, Olympia
The win went to her opponent, Naomi Osaka, making her Japan's first ever grand slam winner.
On the town: Last week Serena attended the 2018 Brand Genius Awards in New York with husband Alexis Ohanian, with whom she will celebrate her one year anniversary on November 16
But it was Serena's cross exchange with the umpire that dominated headlines around the world, causing some to question whether it had lost her the match, or whether she had truly been bested by a player who, in that moment, was the more skillful of the two.
Following the match, Serena was fined $17,000 for her conduct on the court, which was taken out of her $1.85 million prize money for finishing in second place.
Away from her rigorous training schedule, Serena's personal life has also been through something of an evolution this past year.
As well as welcoming her first child, and adapting to life as a working mother, this week will also mark Serena's first wedding anniversary with her husband, millionaire Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian.
The couple tied the knot in New Orleans on November 16 in a stunning Beauty and the Beast-themed ceremony that saw the beautiful bride change dresses multiple times, and featured a host of A-list guests, including Kim Kardashian, Beyoncee Eva Longoria, and Anna Wintour.

Guests, who were told to dress in keeping with the Beauty and the Beast theme, were greeted with the Disney movie's famous song Be Our Guest.
Serena and Alexis's ceremony also celebrated many of the tennis pro's greatest achievements on the court.

The tables at the reception were all named after her 23 grand slam titles, and the party favors were recreations of the trophies that she had won for each.
Although it is not known whether Serena will open up about her wedding, or her marriage, in the GQ interview, the publication promises that she will divulge details about her plans for the future, which will no doubt include her family life away from the courts.
For now, fans can go wild over her cover photos, which shows her posing with her hands on her hips, her hair natural, and a bunch of bold jewelry on her wrists, fingers, and ears.
While GQ's special issue is officially called the Man of the Year issue, the magazine has been including women in the mix since 2013.
Last year, gal Gadot joined the ranks, and in 2016 it was Amy Schumer. Shailene Woodly was on the list in 2015 and it was Tilda Swinton in 2014.
Other past Women of the Year have included Emily Ratajkowski, Rihanna, Kristen Wiig, Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johansson, M.I.A., Hayden Panetierre, Daria Werbowy, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Winslet, Loretta Lynn,Uma Thurman, Maria Sharapova, Gwen Stefani, Ludivine Sagnier, Naomie Harris, Eva Herzigova, and Angelina Jolie

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
