She was joined by sister Venus Williams, 37, who came dressed in polka dots at the event, dubbed the "Baby O Diner" in a nod to her partner, Alexis Ohanian.

The tennis star, who is eight months pregnant, revealed her blossoming bump in a new photo shoot for magazine, baring her athletic figure in a pink silk coat.

Serena discussed her views on feminism that she hopes to pass onto her unborn baby.

She said: “There are barriers I hope to break so my baby, whether boy or girl, won’t have to live under those stipulations.

“I definitely am a feminist. I like to stick up for women and women’s rights.

“So many things happen and I just think ‘Wow, why don’t we have a chance?’

“If that makes me a feminist, I am proud to be one.”
