Serena Williams is known for her killer instinct on the court, but she's about to be known for something entirely different—being a mom.

On April 19, the champ announced via social media, albeit accidentally, that she was 20 weeks pregnant. Being an expectant celeb comes with some serious perks, but it also comes with major eyes on your maternity style, watching for that growing baby bump—and the seven-time Wimbledon winner is no different.

Being a sporty gal, Serena has always been prone to choosing comfortable fabrics that move and breathe, often pairing them with some flashy elements—and her pregnancy gear is just that.

The queen of the Grand Slam is all about mixing fashion with function, but still showing off her amazing curves. She loves glitter and glam, but she's also going to rock her Nike kicks in a flash. From bad-ass bikinis to her emerald green 2017 Met Gala gown and sporty off-duty ensembles, Serena has been serving up her maternity style with aplomb since Day 1 of her pregnancy.

Colorful Creation

Opting for suede nude heels and a colorful frock, the stunner looked fierce in her pregnancy best on May 13, 2017.

Pandora's Pride

On May 10, 2017, the smiling sports star opted for overall shorts and black shoes for a fun-filled trip to Florida. Along with the triumphant photo, she wrote, "Had the best time at Disney, Pandora was unreal!!#visitpandora."

Met Gala Madness

The champ made everyone green with envy when she turned up in an emerald gown by Versace at the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between Costume Institute Gala on May 1 in New York City. In addition to the colorful frock, Serena opted for a an approximately $1.25 million Audemars Piguet Haute Joaillerie Diamond Outrage watch.

Denim Dream

Rocking denim, a little white dress and some high boots, the queen of tennis had a fashionable chat with her sister Venus Williams two months before announcing her pregnancy.

Fierce Creature

Pairing a leopard-print top with an otherwise all-black ensemble 10 weeks before announcing her pregnancy, the sporty gal posted this image on her Instagram and wrote,"That salsa dance you do when @astonmartinlagonda and you meet up and plan amazing things..."

Short Shorts

When she was about a month pregnant, the mom-to-be was all smiles in a long grey coat, Daisy Dukes and of course her Nikes.

Date Night

One month into her pregnancy, the newly engaged sports star had a night to remember with her fiancé Alexis Ohanian. Once again mixing sporty with high fashion, she opted for a white tank and a black tulle ballet skirt.

Mellow Yellow

It's been a whirlwind few months for the superstar. In December, Serena got engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian

At the time she shared the news by posting a sweet poem beside a cartoon sketch of Ohanian getting down on one knee. "I came home/ A little late/ Someone had a bag packed for me/ And a carriage awaited," she wrote. "Destination: Rome/ To escort me to my very own 'charming'/ Back to where our stars first collided."

 

She continued, "And now it was full circle/ At the same table we first met by chance/ This time he made it not by chance/ But by choice/ Down on one knee/ He said 4 words/ And I said yes."
