July 19, 2019, marked a special day for media personality Wendy Williams as she turned 55.
Williams, known for her straight-talking presence on daytime TV, celebrated her birthday in style with a sprawling Instagram story.
At the center of the celebration was a cake designed to resemble a Tiffany & Co box, which Williams wore a tiara to match.
Alongside a picture of her grinning widely over the birthday cake, Williams invited fans to view her Instagram story, where she documented her big day's activities.
She captioned the snap, 'Breakfast @tiffanysandco! Happy birthday to me…civilized! Go to my #IGstory to see how I spent my birthday and the new shoes I got! #hbd #cake.'
Williams recently returned to her nationally syndicated television talk show after a multi-week hiatus, during which she focused on her health and personal life.
She has been open about her struggles with lymphedema, a condition that requires her to use a hi-tech machine to help reduce swelling in her limbs.
Williams also took time for herself after finalizing her divorce from Kevin Hunter, to whom she was married for 21 years.
