Amanza Smith celebrated her 47th birthday in style at Beauty & Essex in Hollywood, Calif., on Dec. 12.
The “Selling Sunset” star enlisted the help of celebrity event planner Lisa Lafferty to create a pearls and petals themed event.
“This year definitely called for a celebration of life as I nearly lost mine over the summer,” Smith exclusively tells Pvnew.
Smith is referring to being diagnosed with osteomyelitis –– a rare bone infection that can be life-threatening –– in June and spending a month in the hospital.
“After 31 days in the hospital and two spine surgeries, I am here to celebrate!” she continues. “The amount of love in the air was incredible, and I could not have been more pleased with the way Lisa Lafferty Events seamlessly, transformed my birthday party, from concept on paper to activation.”
once guests entered the space, they could have a tooth gem artist decorate their pearly whites, see a palm reader and even enjoy one of Smith’s three custom cocktails.
The three drinks included “I Love Hot Moms” with tequila, mezcal and strawberries, the “Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Wanna Come” with vodka and St. Germain liqueur and finally, the “Black Don’t Crack” drink with tequila, smoked blackberries, honey and ginger.
Several of Smith’s famous friends and co-stars attended the birthday bash, such as Chrishell Stause, Mary Fitzgerald, Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani, Jason Oppenheim and Brett Oppenheim.
We’re told cameras were up and filming for the upcoming eighth season of the hit Netflix show, and there were some heated moments amongst cast members that viewers can look forward to.
Jason was photographed giving Smith some sort of paper gift that she immediately laughed at and hugged him.
At one point, Smith posed for a photo alongside co-stars Stause, Hernan and Lazkani.
Smith even seemed to give a heartfelt speech about her previous health scare and how she didn’t think she’d see another birthday.
She delivered the message while standing next to her three-tier white cake with edible pearls where she blew out her candles — but not before Jason stepped in to say a few words himself.
Her two kids, daughter Noah and son Braker Brown, were also in attendance. Her son was spotted smiling with his mom while she gave him a few kisses on the cheek.
Marlon Wayans and Michael Costello –– who designed Smith’s dress –– were also present.
Smith went all out — literally — for her birthday look which showcased her fit physique in a sheer long-sleeve black fishnet fitted gown and black thong that nearly showed off her entire body.
The realtor accessorized her look with fingerless black leather gloves, a black handbag and large Gucci logo hoop earrings. She pulled back her braided hair into two long braids that flowed past her waist.
The entire venue was accessorized with crystals and custom pearl-adorned florals with hues of creams, light pinks and browns.
There were similar floral boutiques on all of the dark tables and pink or cream couches, and some areas of the space were even adorned with oversized photos of Smith in her “birthday suit.”
