Yvonne Nelson celebrates her birthday in a beaded gold mermaid gown that glows against the greenery

Ghanaian actress and author Yvonne Nelson (opens in a new tab) is marking her birthday with a gold gown set against a lush garden, and the photos are swoon-worthy

The actress, film producer, author and entrepreneur celebrated her special day with a set of photos that her fans and fellow celebrities have been filling with birthday wishes.

Sharing the images on Instagram, she kept the caption simple with “BIRTHDAY GIRL” and a cake emoji, then tagged the team behind the look.

The gown is by Hagyams and is made with luxury lace from Lenpa Fabrics. It is a figure-hugging mermaid cut in a warm champagne-gold tone, with crystals and gold beads running down the body in fan-like lines before the skirt flares out into a short train.

The neckline is a plunging sweetheart over a sheer nude base, and the off-the-shoulder cap sleeves are finished with gold floral appliqués that add volume to an otherwise sleek silhouette.

Her beauty look stays soft and warm so the gown remains the focus. Makeup by Persy Glamz is glowy and bronzed with a nude gloss, and hair by Grace AJ is a polished side-swept updo that leaves the neckline and shoulders in full view. A pair of drop earrings completes the look without competing with the beadwork.

Happy birthday again to Yvonne Nelson!
