The tennis ace was joined by Ellie Goulding, Jourdan Dunn and Ruby Rose

PREGNANT Serena Williams showed maternity fashion can still be stylish as she attended the launch of Burberry's DK88 bag in a navy lace dress.

The tennis star, 35, showed off a hint of leg thanks to the garment's subtle thigh split, and she broke the blue of the dress with a chunky brown belt.

She will be on maternity leave for the rest of 2017, missing Wimbledon - but says she will be back as a mum on tour next year.

She said: "I definitely plan on coming back. I'm not done yet.

"If [Venus] still playing, I know I can play. This [motherhood] is just a new part of my life. My baby's going to be in the stands and hopefully cheering for me."
