Alicia Keys Throws ‘Coming to America’ Star Studded Birthday Bash For Her Hubby, Swizz Beatz – PHOTO SPEAKS.

Alicia Keys certainly knows how to throw a party – just ask her husband, Swizz Beatz.

On Thursday night, the singer fêted her leading man like a king as they celebrated his upcoming 36th birthday with an over-the-top bash in the theme of the classic 1988 Eddie Murphy film, Coming To America.

Taking place at Capitale in New York, the venue was decorated with

palm fronds and regal gold and red velvet thrones for the birthday boy and his family, while a dance troupe was brought in to perform a traditional dance to the beat of African drummers.

‘My wife is awesome thx my love for the best Bday party everrrrrrrrrerr’: Alicia Keys treated husband Swizz Beatz to a birthday party fit for a king at Capitale in New York on Thursday night

‘My party was Epic thx to all my fam & Friends for a timeless moment I’m still in shock…’ the hip-hop recording artist – real name Kasseem Dean – gushed on social media the following morning as he shared a number of photos and videos from the evening’s festivities.

He also gave a shout-out to his wife of four years for making the night so special and fun.

‘My wife is awesome thx my love for the best Bday party everrrrrrrrrerr #comingtoamerica…’ he wrote.

‘My current vibe’: The birthday boy sat on a gold and red velvet throne in the Coming To America-themed bash – the 1988 movie starring Eddie Murphy

The Royal Family: The star couldn’t wipe the grin from his face as his mom, dad and grandmother all joined him on their thrones, complete with crowns, captioning the shot, ‘My wife is the best 1of 1 look at my Dad , Mom , Gmom Wow #kings & #Queens’

While his birthday isn’t officially until Saturday, the star got the celebrations off to a roaring start nice and early, with a number of famous friends joining the happy couple for the shindig.

And though she’s approximately six months pregnant, Alicia certainly didn’t let the side down as she partied up a storm, looking stunning in a gorgeous, ethereal white gown.

The 33-year-old made quite the entrance into the bash, the dancers clearing a path down the centre of the dance floor, strew with petals, for her to walk down to greet her king.

Bumping along nicely: The pregnant star – who is expecting her second child with her husband in December – looked stunning in her floaty, ethereal white gown, which accentuated her blossoming baby bump and featured a textured square neckline

The look of love: The couple looked radiant as they left the bash hand-in-hand, a little weary but clearly having had a great time celebrating with their loved ones

The Grammy-winner displayed her blossoming belly in the loose-fitting, floor-length gown, which featured a textured bodice with square neckline that revealed plenty of cleavage.

She wore her long raven locks in a pretty tightly braided cornrow style with silver beads at the ends, while she was dripping in diamonds, with a stack of bracelets and huge dangly earrings.

Her make-up was golden and natural, her skin flawless and simply glowing.

Easy does it: The Grammy-winning singer sensibly wore black flat sandals as she carefully maneuvered into the car, careful not to knock her head in the process, her long raven tresses worn in tight braided cornrows with silver beads at the ends

Star-studded: Puff Daddy and Naomi Campbell were among the revellers, the pair seen leaving the party together in the early hours of Friday morning

Complementary: The long-time friends were dressed in similar hues, with the British supermodel opting for a flirty black embellished frock and matching ankle boots, while the rapper went for a charcoal look in shiny pants and a dress shirt featuring embroidered stars on the shoulders

Her husband looked smart in slim-fitting black pants, a matching shirt and snazzy blazer.

Silver-grey pointed dress shoes, a huge silver medallion adornment on his shirt collar and black hat completed his look, while he donned a faux leopard skin around his neck as he sat on his throne, flanked by his loyal subjects.

Even his parents and grandmother got in on the act, wearing crowns and sitting on thrones, wide grins on their faces as they soaked up the atmosphere.

Dressed to thrill! The 44-year-old flashed her long, lean legs in her short dress while keeping otherwise covered up, her long black locks worn in a sleek style, her face beautifully made up, eyes shielded behind large dark aviator glasses

 Amicable: Swizz’s ex-wife and mother of one of his children, Mashonda Tifrere, also attended the celebration, seen walking arm-in-arm with Swizz Beatz brother

 A family affair: The birthday boy’s mom, Kim, and brother, Andre, got suitably dressed up for the soiree, wearing matching black outfits as they celebrated during the over-the-top bash

Also in attendance at the party were Puff Daddy and Naomi Campbell, who were spotted leaving together in the early hours.

Puff, aka Sean Combs, was dressed down in charcoal shiny pants and a matching shirt with stars embroidered on the shoulders, while he donned sunglasses despite it being dark outside.

The British supermodel displayed her long legs in a black embellished frock and matching ankle boots, while she too wore large aviators.

Representing: Lala Anthony looked lovely in her black gown as she arrived at the party solo, sans New York Knicks basketball player husband Camelo Anthony

 Walking a fine line: Rapper DMX (second from right) appeared to be making light of his troubles with the law as he posed for a photo with two police officers

 Rapper DMX, who has been collaborating with Swizz on his upcoming eighth studio album, also made an appearance, posing for photos with police upon exiting the bash, seemingly making light of his many run-ins with the law.

Perhaps surprisingly, Swizz’s ex-wife, Mashonda Tifrere, also attended the celebration, seen walking arm-in-arm with a handsome mystery man as she headed for home, a huge smile on her face.

Although, it shouldn’t that shocking, considering Mashonda joined her ex and his second wife on
a romantic vacation in St Barts in March – indicating that she’s well and truly moved on from any original awkwardness.

‘Me and my day 1 OG/ Brother @DMX the great!!!! Bday vibes I hope y’all ready’: Swizz shared this photo as the long-time pals, who have been collaborating on DMZ’s upcoming eighth studio album, prepared to hit the party

 Birthday suit: Swizz looked decidedly dapper in slim-fitting black pants, a matching shirt and snazzy blazer, silver-grey pointed dress shoes, a huge silver medallion adornment on his shirt collar and black hat

The recording artist, who was married to the star for six years, divorcing in May 2010, has one child with Swizz, a son named Kasseem David Dean Jr, seven.

Swizz and Alicia have one son together, Egypt, who turns four in October, while their second child
is reportedly due in December.

He also has a 13-year-old son, Prince Nasir, with ex Nicole Levy.

And baby makes four! The 33-year-old is said to be approximately six months pregnant with the couple’s second child, who will join big brother Egypt, who turns four in October
