Hampton told Yahoo Style that her grandmother, Kathy, organized the party and sent out invites via text and through Facebook.

“My grandmother is the one who set all of it up for her,” she said. “She is 64 years old and started planning the party last year. Since it was her [mother’s] 100th birthday party, we had to go all out.”

The family decided to go with an all-white theme for the party, and the guest of honour stunned in a shimmery shift with cut-out details at the cuffs and hem. The streamlined silhouette also nodded to current spring 2017 trends.

In a video Hampton posted to Twitter a few days before the party, her great-grandmother can be heard admitting that she has not one, but two boyfriends. Hampton says it counts among her best memories.

“A couple of days before her birthday we had a conversation about boyfriends, and she said she had two of them. She said to me, ‘Just because I’m 100, doesn’t mean I don’t like men.’”
