A silver choker with dangling diamonds was perfectly positioned to show off her ample assets. 

Her ombre-colored hair was worn in loose waves and she carried a white-and-black purse with a long silver chain across her chest. 

Guests wined and dined throughout the evening at the steakhouse, with the celebration featuring a geometrical cake by Carlo’s Bakery and a fun photo booth.
