Sources have informed Page Six that Mar-a-Lago was the epicenter of GOP festivities on Saturday night.
Donald and Melania Trump graced the event, celebrating the 40th birthday of Alina Habba, a formidable legal ally of the former president, at his prestigious Palm Beach, Florida retreat.
Among the attendees were Eric and Lara Trump, alongside Don Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle, according to informants.
Guilfoyle took to social media to share a snapshot of herself alongside Habba and Lara, expressing felicitations with the caption, “Happy Birthday Alina!!”
Habba, the former fashion executive who transitioned into a prominent civil attorney under Trump’s wing, donned a resplendent strapless jumpsuit. She was spotted posing near a display of Hermes gift bags adorned with the message “Habba Nice 40th Birthday” in the luxury brand’s iconic orange and brown hues.
The birthday celebration featured an elaborate cake portraying Habba seated atop a courthouse, flanked by symbols of justice, including scales and law books, as well as luxurious accessories like a Birkin bag and a briefcase.
The soirée, organized by Rackel Gehlsen, took place both outdoors on the club’s Lakeview Terrace and within a lavishly decorated gold and white ballroom. Entertainment was provided by a Beatles cover band and DJ Ross, who kept the tunes flowing throughout the night.
Before indulging in the birthday cake, guests savored a delectable menu curated by the hosts. Culinary delights included tuna tartare, eggplant parmigiana, burrata, Habba’s favorite spaghetti Bolognese, potato-crusted salmon, Wagyu ribeye, grilled Branzino, and an array of other delicacies.
Earlier in the week, Habba had enjoyed a more intimate gathering with close friends in St. Barts before returning to Florida. Her return coincided with a notable legal victory for Trump, which she highlighted during an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Monday night. A state appeals court decision ruled that Trump could post a significantly reduced bond of $175 million in his civil fraud case.
Following his engagements in Long Island, where he paid respects to slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller at Massapequa Funeral Home, Trump returned to Florida for the weekend. His media venture, Trump Media & Technology Group, also experienced a surge in stock prices at the beginning of the trading week.
