Now thatтАЩs how you celebrate a birthday! Filmmaker┬аTaika Waititi┬аrang in his 46th┬аwith a star-studded bash, and his girlfriend,┬аRita Ora, gave fans a glimpse of the festivities.
As seen in OraтАЩs slideshow of candid snapshots, which she posted to Instagram on Wednesday, no expense was sparred when it came to giving Waititi a party to truly remember.
From a big cake to a mariachi band to golden balloons spelling out his name тАФ not to mention other balloons featuring his face тАФ the party was truly all about celebrating the Oscar winner.
The soir├йe also featured an enviable guest list, including Kate Beckinsale, Rami Malek, Ashley Benson, and Kristen Stewart. Many тАЬTwilightтАЭ fans even had a bit of a freak out over Stewart and MalekтАЩs reunion at the grand party (although they were not pictured together in OraтАЩs post).
Waititi commented under OraтАЩs post, sharing two heart emojis and a fire emoji. Meanwhile, Beckinsale remarked, тАЬBest gf ?.тАЭ
Another guest, TV personality and magazine editor Vas J Morgan, was also in attendance at the lavish gathering, and shared a sweet message with the birthday boy and his burgeoning relationship with Ora.
тАЬHappy Birthday┬а@taikawaititi┬аthank you for sharing your talent, charm and humour with us all. YouтАЩre truly deserving of all the blessings life has to offer,тАЭ he wrote.┬атАЬThank you for showing my bestie that she is worthy of real love and happiness, the similarities between you both is worryingly perfect and watching your happiness grow together warms my heart.тАЭ
Waititi and Ora┬аmade their red carpet debut earlier this month when they stepped out for the premiere of тАЬThe Suicide SquadтАЭ in Los Angeles, California.
The pair was all smiles with their arms linked on the carpet. Waititi even giddily pointed at Ora at one point. The couple shared a laugh while posing for pics.
Waititi and Ora first sparked romance rumours in April, when the singer shared a pic of herself hugging the director. Then, in May, the pair was spotted┬аdisplaying some major PDA in Australia, alongside actress┬аTessa Thompson.
In a July interview with┬аThe Sydney Morning Herald,┬аWaititi said┬аhe was тАЬnot reallyтАЭ upset by the pics going public.
тАЬI think in the world of the internet, everything goes away pretty quick,тАЭ he said. тАЬAnd also, Is it that big a deal? No, not really. I was doing nothing wrong. ItтАЩs fine.тАЭ
