Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Serena Williams held a 1950's themed baby shower over the weekend that was attended by her sister Venus, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Eva Longoria, La La Anthony and songwriter Angie Beyince.

"When you and your crew go so far back to the 50's. Even then they had your back," captioned a photo of herself and friends posing in front of a retro pickup truck while wearing poodle skirts and other 1950s attire.

Ciara also shared photos and clips from the event including a short video of herself and the Williams sisters posing and dancing in front of a jukebox while inside the 1950s decorated Baby O Diner.

"O' Baby!! Love You Rena. Truly an Exciting Time! #Memories. #ShakeRattleandRoll2017," the singer captioned the clip.

Williams announced she was pregnant and expecting her first child with her fiance, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in April. The couple were engaged in December after Ohanian proposed to Williams in Rome at the restaurant where they first met.
