Last night 19/7, to celebrate her new age, Ly Nha Ky had a private party with family, dear sisters and brothers, and close friends in HCM City.

She did not go with any usual international brands, instead, she donned a gorgeous black classic mermaid figure hugging dress, with a seductively high slit, and powerfully mesmerizing pleated shoulders by Le Thanh Hoa. As always, Paolo Piovan diamond jewelries were always the perfect touch to bring out the luxurious beauty of a woman.

Even though Ly Nha Ky was the party planner herself, but her event team has kept most of the activities secret from her until last minutes. Therefore, Ly Nha Ky encountered surprises after surprises upon what her team has carefully planned for her.

Sweet and a bit dreamy, the room was filled with white flowers under soft warming candlelight, creating a romantic yet extravagant atmosphere for the party. Many guests could relate her party room’s resemblance to a dream wedding of any Asian super star. A simple stage centered with the word LYNK, yet was more than enough to wow many artists and guests due to the careful investment of the owner. Everything came together in the most stunning way, not only the owner herself was moved, but as well as all the guests.

What was special here, and what made Ly Nha Ky moved the most was that the amazing intricate details of the party were resulted from the dedication of a special amateur director, Mr. Jean Lesly Benoit, Haiti Ambassador in Viet Nam, a very dear friend to Ly Nha Ky. He had been planning this party for more than a month. The past five days, he flew in from Ha Noi and spent some sleepless nights to get this party close to perfection. He wished that his action could be a special present to Ly Nha Ky, the Vietnamese woman that he admired much because of her wisdom, her diplomatic talent, and her good heart.

As a director of the party, Mr. Benoit personally handpicked a number of interesting performances for the party. Dance numbers that brought loudly the carnival atmosphere to the party, and famous songs around the world were carefully selected. Not only he was the MC of the show, he himself also performed a Haiti Latin Songs medley for his dear friend. His wife danced along side with him, showing off her flexible and skillful moves, bringing much heat to the party.

Ly Nha Ky as well as many guests rushed to the stage to join them, they all blended in with the festive and romantic music. Her birthday was a gathering of her many dear friends. But to her surprise, this time joining with them was the famous French producer Charles Gillibert (Clouds of Sils Maria, Eden, The Oscar, Things to come, Personal shopper, Kings, 24 Frames…).

Many many artist came to celebrate Ly Nha Ky’s birtday including Chi Bảo, Trương Ngọc Ánh, Trần Bảo Sơn, Nathan Lee, Bình Minh, Vũ Thu Phương, Hứa Vĩ Văn, Cao Thái Sơn, Vũ Khắc Tiệp, MC Quỳnh Hoa, Lương Bích Hữu,.... All joined together for the Happy Birthday Song and cheer for her to blow the candle.

Along side Ly Nha Ky was always her family, her mom was never absent from any of her daughter’s event, Ly Nha Ky’s sister and all of her nephews and nieces were also there for celebration.

Even for a second, she was too happy to stop smiling, Ly Nha Ky emotionally shared on stage: “Today I am 1 year older, I have my will and confidence to say that everyone who is here today has a special place in my life and my career. You each stand a position in my heart, affecting my career, my life, and my future to come”.

Ly Nha Ky also let us know that this was the first time she had such a big celebration for herself. “I know that if it wasn’t because of you, I would not be who I am today. I did not have this party just to myself, but this is my gratefulness to all of you who are here, in this special moment”.

Beside, Ly Nha Ky also welcomed her new age by spending a day tending nearly 200 orphans and children with disabilities in Tam Binh Children Foster Care Center (Thu Duc, HCM City), and a night of warmth and heartfelt with all
