Can you explain?
Which part?

Well, what in her history makes muppets particularly out of place?

I think the puppets are silly. From her IG stories following her appearance, she had up photos from the show, and then another photo that she had written over. Not sure if it's still up or if you can recover it (it was in Spanish FYI), but it was talking about how it's important to speak up about mental health struggles, to normalize it and not let your struggles stop you from pursuing your dreams. I didn't watch many clips of the show, but the manner in which she posted on IG stories made it seem like this is part of what she discussed, it was pretty out of place to have it posted like that if she hadn't. And so the puppets seem particularly silly in that context.

In terms of her history, she's struggled with depression and anxiety. She's talked about it herself and It was also highlighted in a WTA article awhile ago.

I wonder if it was remotely interesting. I find Serena mostly super rehearsed or extremely self-conscious. Rarely interesting in interviews. I know she has another side of her personality, but I have rarely seen her act what I'd consider natural and charming. Probably why I have always been ambivalent about her as a fan, sometimes rooting for her but never really caring.

This is apparently Elina. So hard to recognize her from photo to photo. No need to scroll unless you want to see photos of Kiev.

About Maria Camila. A very typical Colombian beauty. I can walk down the street to the market and see at least 5 girls with hair like that. Nothing bad about that.

Are there any other notable female athletes in Columbia currently or she has the scene all to herself?

Caterine Ibargüen was the previous world record holder for the triple jump, and is a major sports figure. Mariana Pajon has captured 3 Olympic medals (2G, 1S) in Moto X bike and also is a very popular.
There are not many but she does not have the spotlight for for herself. Pajon is another typical Colombian beauty, in the same mold: dark hair, clear skin, not that tall, pretty face. Caterine is downright a symbol in Colombia, a very attractive woman that is very popular.
Still, sports in Colombia are not that high in sponsors, in a country with Shakira, Sofia Vergara and Paulina Vega (former Miss Universe).

The most amazing thing, to me, about her chameleonic skills, is that not only she looks different all the time, she looks of different ages, ranging from 17 to 53. She can truly get carded at a bar in the USA, or be the cover for GoodHousekeeping.

I agree that she often looks really different. Does anyone see a little current Adele in this pic? A little?

I do not, but there are several comments like that on this IG photo, so you're not alone in seeing that.
