Serena Williams' former coach, Rennae Stubbs recently showed off her attire, which bore a striking resemblance to that of Megan Rapinoe, during the retirement celebration of the soccer star.

Rapinoe had previously announced her plan to retire after the conclusion of the 2023 National Women's Soccer League season. She expressed that the 2023 Women's World Cup will be her final appearance in this prestigious tournament. She also announced that she would be concluding her club career with OL Reign at the end of the season.

Megan Rapinoe's remarkable career boasts two World Cups and an Olympic gold medal.

On Friday, October 6, the soccer star was celebrated by her club team, OL Reign, in the presence of a record-breaking crowd of 34,130 fans from the National Women's Soccer League. It was a remarkable sight as numerous supporters donned pink wigs as a tribute to her.

The 38-year-old has been an integral part of Reign since 2013, making her one of only five players across the entire league who have remained loyal to their respective teams since the inception of the NWSL.

Megan Rapinoe has played 114 regular-season matches for the Reign, during which she has impressively netted 49 goals. Her upcoming game will take place away from home, as she plays against the Chicago Red Stars.

After her game on Friday, Rapinoe's friends from both the sporting and entertainment worlds gathered to celebrate her retirement. Rennae Stubbs also attended the party.

Stubbs took to social media to share a picture of herself and Rapinoe, both sporting strikingly similar outfits - an elegant white halter neck tops complemented by matching necklaces.
