If anyone knows how to throw a party, it’s Mielle Organics CEO, Monique Rodriguez. She went all out over the weekend for her 40th birthday, throwing a Cirque Du Soleil-themed bash that was full of theatrics and nonstop entertainment.
Monique, who shares the same birthday as her daughters Mia, 18, and Kenzie, 14, looked stunning in a custom pink Nicole + Felicia couture gown. She completed her look with fuchsia Rene Caovilla leather ankle wrap sandals, styled by @therealnoigjeremy, and accessorized with diamonds from Lorraine Schwartz. With her husband, Melvin Rodriguez, by her side, Monique dazzled with pink circus-themed eyeshadow and a half ponytail updo that showed off her curls.
Melvin looked equally stylish in a black and white Balmain tuxedo with white lapels and black Prada shades. His accessories included a diamond watch and a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet. The couple welcomed their guests warmly and were overwhelmed by the love and support they received in Miami.
The party featured elaborate circus-themed decorations and stilt walkers, adding to the visual spectacle. Guests were treated to a live performance by artists Ashanti and JaRule.
Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers, came to support Monique, wearing a pink feather Retrofete gown paired with crystal-embellished open-toe heels and a mini Hermes handbag. Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, and former Destiny’s Child member, Letoya Luckett, also attended, showcasing Monique’s impressive network. Ms. Tina Knowles stunned in a black lace jumpsuit with a diamond bow belt and a Chanel embellished bag, complemented by her signature red lip and blonde highlights.
Ms. Bling chose a red lip as well and wore a “Ms. Bling Miami” rhinestone-embellished dress with matching black rhinestone gloves, a Judith Leiber lipstick clutch, and black studded Louboutin platforms.
Monique Rodriguez’s 40th birthday was truly star-studded, and her Cirque Du Soleil-themed celebration was the perfect way to kick off her forties in style.
