AT the tender age of one, young Sophie-Rose sure knows how to make a party entrance.
The niece of former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer (the daughter of his sister Fatima Elkheir) was carried into her first birthday party on the weekend by her parents, and was accompanied by four drummers.
And what a party it was. The Daily Mail estimates that the soiree cost between $8000 and $10,000. Party planner Zena Zaidi from Elegant Tea Time said there was “no budget†for the party and it featured a balloon and flower wall (naturally), a five-tier birthday cake by Holy Suga with a single candle on top, and a fruit cart. There was also a dessert table with
100 different desserts provided by Sweet Treats by Alanna.
Just in case Sophie-Rose was in any doubt that she is a princess, tiaras were sprinkled throughout the decorations, including one on the top of the cake, and one perched at a jaunty angle on the birthday girl’s head:
While the birthday girl was dressed in a tutu and fairy wings, mum Fatima was dressed in an outfit fit for a bride, in an off-the-shoulder white lace gown with studded stilettos.
If you think the event has a similar vibe to the birthday party Terry Biviano recently threw for her daughter, you’re correct. We thought that cake cart looked familiar ...
It’s hard to tell whether Salim was in attendance at his niece’s birthday party. He’s usually quite active on social media, posting photos from family events, but on Thursday at 4.16am Salim posted this rather cryptic update on Facebook:
And now his Facebook page seems to have been killed, leading to an error message.
The Mehajer family is no stranger to lavish parties.
Fatima and Jamal’s wedding in 2013 certainly wasn’t a low-key affair if the video is anything to go by ...
... Fatima and Salim’s sister Khadijeh ‘Kat’ Mehajer had a lavish bridal shower last month that included four outfit changes ...
... And let’s not forget Salim’s wedding (that involved helicopters, 35 cars, 45 bikes, 40 drummers, eight groomsmen, eight bridesmaids a seaplane and a jet) and his wife Aysha’s $50,000 30th birthday party that rapper Tyga was flown in for:
