Ivana Trump celebrated her birthday at a table nearby, joining in on the fun and toasting her birthday with Bertaud Belieu Rosé and blowing out the candles of a delectable chocolate birthday cake. Joining her were Danny Jelaca and Rene Ruiz. When asked who her vote was going to in the upcoming presidential election, she declared her support for her ex-husband, Mr. Donald Trump.

The party gained further momentum later in the evening with guests arriving to celebrate at the after party. As the sun set and music volume increased, the party launched into full swing. Haute Living and Parmigiani held court at their designated cabana, inviting attendees such as music producer Skrillex to join them and continue into the night. Other notable guests included owner Mehmet Bayraktar and Eric Milon, Howard Lobber and Justin Blue from Pershing.
