Showcasing the stamina that’s made her a 23-time Grand Slam Champ, Serena Williams was spotted partying for a second day after her wedding to Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian.
The new couple – called ‘Alexena’ by their pals – rented several floors of New Orleans’ upscale, boutique Ace Hotel for a brunch bash with friends and family on Friday afternoon.
The party, which followed their Thursday-night wedding, was intended to run from noon to 4pm, but the pair were seen dancing wildly until about 6pm, with Serena wearing a tight, short white dress as she grooved next to her sister, Venus.
After the event finally died down, Serena posted up as photograph of herself on Instagram in her stunning wedding dress.

In the end, like at the wedding, Alexena slipped through the back door and into a limousine that whisked them away to their airport.
The party followed a celeb-packed wedding event at the Contemporary Arts Center of New Orleans, where they were surrounded by a bevy of friends, families and A-listers, including their two-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, and Venus.
Also at the Beauty-and-the-Beast-themed bash were Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, and the members of New Edition, who played a five-song set during the reception.

Guests were also gifted one of Williams’ unique golden trophy party favors.
Each guest table at the event had been named after one of 12 of Williams’ grand slam titles, and her favors were recreations of the trophies she received for each corresponding title.
Jay Z was so dedicated to being there for Serena’s big day that he attended the event despite having to jet off to North Carolina immediately after to perform at his next tour stop.
He was not seen arriving at the venue, but DailyMail.com overheard a transmission just moments before a Cadillac SUV pulled in that said: ‘Jay Z party on the way.’ His mother Gloria was seen as she climbed off a plane alongside Beyonce.
Editor-in-chief of Vogue Anna Wintour was seen arriving at the event, with her magazine having an exclusive on the images. Cellphones are reportedly banned from the ceremony.
She was later spotted at the bar for the cocktail reception in a closed-off street outside the Contemporary Arts Center.
Serena, 36, was not spotted at all as she hid between tinted windows and managed to dart into the venue out of sight thanks to the tenting covering most of the parking lot.
DailyMail.com did capture Isha Price sitting in the front seat of a chauffeured car as it pulled in on Thursday, with Serena’s older sister appearing to be in a green velvet look.
