    Turkish Handé Erçel goes back in time to the Roaring Twenties with a Great Gatsby-themed party to enjoy her 30th birthday in an elaborate setting.
    A series of stunning photos from the night were shared on the actress’ Instagram account to her 31 million fans.
    By taking it back in time to the period of the 1920s, Erçel bought the American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story back to life as she looked beyond gorgeous in her matching looks. She also had an exquisite silver cake topped with red cherries and long candles to complement the evening.
    The superstar was donned in two completely different white-hued looks. In the first, Erçel wore a jacket and hot-shorts and held a stick. However, while cutting the “white” cake, the Turkish actress wore a short white dress. In both outlooks, the model made a special hairstyle to match the party theme.
    A host of guests attended “The Great Birthday’ and were also seen wearing clothes to match the theme party of the Turkish actress. Hande Erçel’s sister Gamze was of course one of the main party guests who attended the celebration along with her husband Caner Yıldırım.
    Swipe through the gallery to see snippets of the lavish celebrations.
