Serena Williams hosts ’50s-themed baby shower with sister Venus, Eva Longoria, Kelly Rowland
Serena Williams, due to deliver her child with fiancé Alexis Ohanian anytime soon, had a fun ’50s-themed baby shower on Aug. 5.
Guests included her sister Venus and celebrity friends actress Eva Longoria, singer Kelly Rowland, hip-hop artist Ciara and American TV personality La La Anthony.
Williams wore a black crop top paired with a bright yellow poodle skirt—one that matched with friend Ciara’s pink one—and tied her hair in a bouffant with a red bandana.

The party was held at Nick’s 50’s Diner at West Palm Beach, Florida. The stunning group of women was #squadgoals as it fit right at home with the restaurant’s period feel. The women’s themed looks included tied and teased hair, fun prints, long dresses and skirts, and stylish sneakers.

Williams has deliberately chosen not to find out her child’s sex, saying in an Instagram post that there “are so few surprises in life these days.”
The GOAT (Greatest of All Time) discovered that she was pregnant in January at the Australian Open. In a Vanity Fair interview, she revealed that she made strategic decisions on the court to accommodate her relatively weaker performance—which led her to win a Grand Slam while pregnant.
Through social media app Snapchat, the tennis star accidentally made the announcement in April 2017 that she was 20 weeks pregnant.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion has continued to be unstoppable during her pregnancy as she has been regularly exercising, working on a fashion collection, doing duties as board member to the company Survey Monkey, and speaking up on gender and racial equality.
She has promised to return to the courts in 2018. /ra
