Serena Williams celebrated the upcoming arrival of her first child at a 50s-themed baby shower attended by stars including Eva Longoria and Ciara.

Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland and La La Anthony were also at the event at a diner in Florida.

She wrote: “When you and your crew go so far back to the 50’s.

“Even then they had your back.”
