Normally, 21st birthday celebrations are more serious and filled with grown-ups who lecture a girl about womanhood. Lebina’s party was different, she awakened the inner child in her.

Her party was very pink and had childish activities. She had a jumping castle where she enjoyed herself, and a pink birthday cake with Barbie’s face on it.

Lebina wore a black Barbie tracksuit with a colourful tutu skirt. South Africans pointed out the pure happiness on her face and craved the same feeling. 

The birthday girl shared footage of her party on TikTok over the weekend, and captioned it:

“POV you just turned 21 and hosted a Barbie nostalgia birthday party. Thank you for all the birthday wishes.”
