Taika Waititi’s birthday party draws celebrity crowd to Ibiza – Spy

In a vampire snake look, Ora presented Disney’s The Jungle Book song Trust me (The Python’s Song) surrounded by green-clad Disney actors.

Ora stuck with the python theme with a snake-print suit as she and Waititi explored the famous park and its rides at night.

Ora posted on Instagram a picture of Waititi and James Cameron (the directors have the same birthday) from the D3 event, where the Avatar And Titanic The director was named an official Disney Legend during the event.

From California, they traveled to Europe the following Thursday, where Waititi celebrated his birthday a day early at a lavish, star-studded party in Ibiza.

It is the second year in a row that Waititi will celebrate the occasion on the Spanish island. It is believed that Ora and his good friend, former British reality TV star Vas J Morgan, hosted the party for the birthday boy.

Morgan thanked everyone involved in organizing her “annual Taika Waititi birthday party” on Instagram.

Among the A-list celebrities was Hollywood actress Salma Hayek, who had also celebrated with Waititi and Ora in Europe the week before.

It is still unclear whether Waititi and Hayek may be working on a project together, but all three, like Ora, share a love of fashion.

Hayek is married to French multi-billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, a business magnate who is president and chief executive of the luxury group Kering, which owns fashion brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen.

Another celebrity guest at the birthday party was Ora’s fellow pop star, Cuban-born Camila Cabello. The couple danced and posed with their hands raised.

The glamorous party took place in an exclusive Spanish villa with an outdoor dining area. The dancing had a nice New Zealand touch thanks to Waititi’s All Blacks-themed birthday cake; the rugby ball on the cake was passed around by guests.

The villains are not getting any rest, because on his actual birthday last Friday, Waititi, Ora, Morgan and their entourage boarded a small private jet and flew to Slovakia.

That evening in Bratislava, Ora was one of the artists at the Love Stream Festival. During her performance, the singer welcomed Waititi on stage by singing Happy Birthday.

Waititi hugged and kissed his wife and humbly waved to the packed arena.
