The lovely birthday celebrant Ruby Jane Chua
A night of elegance and heartfelt celebration unfolded as the ever-gracious Ruby Jane Chua marked another milestone with an intimate birthday dinner.
Friends from near and far gathered, including distinguished guests from Gasse, France, who flew in especially for the occasion. The evening was made even more memorable with the presence of the celebrant’s friends from the ballet world who are based in Hong Kong and established Elevate Pilates, a Pilates studio at the heart of HK.

The night’s enchanting performances featured the stunning vocals of opera singer Camille Molina as well as Ruby Jane’s beloved sister Tiffany Copok and May Neri, whose dedication showed as they rehearsed until an hour before the gathering started.
The legendary Robert Seña capped off the evening with a rousing number, making it a truly spectacular celebration fit for a charming and graceful woman.
