No tabletop dancing, no outfit swaps and no walking around barefoot.
Britney Spears — who turned 26 Sunday – celebrated her birthday at the Scandinavian Style Mansion in Bel Air on Saturday with cousin Alli Sims, pal Sam Lutfi and her back-on BFF Paris Hilton.
The gang sang “Happy Birthday” as Spears blew out candles on a small chocolate birthday cake. Two enormous body guards shielded her table throughout the event, which was hosted by Danish businessman and Spears pal Claus Hjelmbak.
It was a night to remember for the birthday girl, who scored $30,000 in leather and fur coats — including a $7,000 fur-trimmed white leather coat — at the gifting suites from high-end designer Katja Berglund.
“She was very calm, nice, friendly,” Berglund told Usmagazine.com. “I know she's had some bad times here, but I think she looked really great.”
After leaving around 12:45 a.m., Spears and crew continued the festivities at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. Hilton was spotted leaving at 3:50 a.m.
Spears spent her actual birthday Sunday with sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 14 months.
In honor of her big day, Us takes a look back at Spears' early days.
