If you’re the teen king of show biz, might as well throw a birthday party in style.
Stars gathered for Daniel Padilla’s 23rd birthday held at the Manila House Private Members Club in Taguig City last night. His party carried the theme from the 1925 F. Scott Fitzgerald novel “The Great Gatsby.”
His love-team partner, Kathryn Bernardo, looked chic in her “DJP-inspired” outfit for the night as seen in her Instagram story.
