Serena Williams has taken delivery of a one-of-one Lincoln Navigator, developed in collaboration with Lincoln’s design team and customized by Galpin Lincoln.
The project builds on Williams’ long-standing relationship with the Navigator. She purchased her first example in 1998 and has remained closely associated with the model since, both as an owner and brand ambassador.
Exterior and Design Theme
The build centers on a bespoke exterior finish called Perfect Rose, a variation of Lincoln’s Sunrise Copper with added pink tones and a metallic sparkle effect. It is paired with a High Gloss Black upper section and satin-finish accents in Rose Copper and Obsidian.
A custom “Serena Rose” emblem—combining a rose motif with a heart-shaped petal—appears on the B-pillar and rear split gate. The detailing establishes a consistent visual identity without altering the Navigator’s core design.
Interior Execution
The interior is defined by a two-tone leather combination. Clay Court, a darker brown, forms the base layer and references Williams’ early success on clay surfaces, while a lighter Afterglow tone is applied to upper sections to create contrast.
Seat perforations follow a tennis-ball-inspired pattern that fades toward the center, and Plush Sheepskin carpeting replaces standard materials. The center console features hand-painted Big Dipper and Little Dipper graphics, continuing the personal theme.
Hot pink appears selectively inside storage areas, including the center console and glovebox, rather than across primary surfaces.
Personalization Details
Customization extends to smaller elements throughout the cabin. Sill plates are laser-engraved with Williams’ personal mantra, “Keep going,” alongside the birth years of each family member, positioned according to their seating locations.
Additional branding includes a 3D interpretation of the Serena Rose motif and coordinated trim details across interior touchpoints.

Positioning
The one-off Navigator reflects a growing emphasis on individual commissions within the luxury SUV segment, where personalization is increasingly used to differentiate flagship models.
In this case, the focus remains on material selection and symbolic detailing rather than performance changes, aligning the build with the Navigator’s role as a full-size luxury platform tailored to owner preference.
