Alina Habba Weds Turhan Mildon in Lavish Waldorf Astoria Ceremony

Alina Habba, 42, married Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon, 29, in a lavish weekend celebration at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. The event, attended by around 300 guests including notable figures from the MAGA political sphere, featured multiple wardrobe changes for the bride and elaborate decor.

The ceremony took place on Saturday night, with Habba walking down a mirrored aisle in a lace gown with a sweetheart neckline. Among the guests were Kash Patel, Todd Blanche, and Trump advisor Margo Martin. Habba later changed into a sequined gown for the reception.

The celebration spanned the entire fourth floor of the hotel, which was adorned with approximately 900,000 fresh blooms. The wedding's theme transitioned through different settings: an 'ethereal' blush and white palette for the ceremony, a black and white theme for cocktails, rich golds, black, and crimson for dinner, and a dark, art-inspired theme for the afterparty, dubbed 'Club Mildon'.

Mildon, a Turkish billionaire, and Habba, who previously served as President Trump's personal attorney, exchanged vows in the Jade Room. The reception featured a 30-piece band, caviar, and a Dom Pérignon toast. The menu included Royal Ossetra caviar, lobster risotto or prime filet mignon, and ice cream sundaes.

During the afterparty, Habba wore a short, glittery strapless dress. Grammy Award winner Nelly made a surprise performance. The music for the couple's first dance was "Hier Encore," performed by a singer flown in from France.

Notable attendees also included former professional boxer Mike Tyson. Guests arrived at the venue, with some understood to have arrived a day prior to the ceremony. The wedding weekend also included a rehearsal dinner at Aretsky's Patroon.

Habba's engagement ring is described as a large diamond, and she has reportedly received luxury gifts from Mildon, including Hermès Birkin bags. The couple's engagement followed a whirlwind romance.
