Serena Williams has announced she is expecting her second child as she debuted her growing baby bump at tonight's Met Gala.

The 41-year-old tennis superstar was joined by her husband Alexis Ohanian at the fashion extravaganza as they walked the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Serena looked incredible wearing a figure-hugging black Gucci gown which featured a white tulle train.

She was adorned in several pearl necklaces as Alexis opted for a sleek black suit and placed a loving hand on her belly.

Serena revealed her pregnancy as she was interviewed at the Met Gala, confirming there were in fact three of them at the chat - herself, Alexis and the baby.
