Robert De Niro's girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 45, was spotted Thursday arriving at his star-studded 80th birthday party with their baby in tow. 

A glittering array of showbiz figures attended Thursday's party, including a rare sighting from Christopher Walken, 80, who first starred with the actor in The Deer Hunter (1978). 

Also in attendance were Uma Thurman, Paul McCartney, Martin Scorsese, Alec Baldwin, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola to name a few. 

De Niro and Chen were both dressed remarkably casual for the event, considering the starry guest list.

They welcomed their daughter Gia on April 6 but refrained from announcing her arrival until early May, sending shock waves through the public.

Now a father of seven - with children raging in age from 51 years to four months - Robert welcomed a glittering guest list to a swank Italian eatery.

Locanda Verde, his venue of choice, is located in TriBeCa, the neighborhood where Robert helped found a film festival of the same name in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Tiffany cut a casual figure in a hoodie and sweats as she pushed little Gia's stroller up onto the sidewalk and then crossed toward the restaurant.

For he's a jolly GoodFella: Robert De Niro's girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 45, was spotted Thursday arriving at his 80th birthday party with their baby in tow

Warding off the summertime rays with a sleek pair of sunglasses, she swept her dark hair up into a ponytail for her beau's birthday bash.

Tiffany, who has been romantically involved with Robert since 2021, opted for a summery white top featuring a trendy v-neck.

As the party wound down, she could be glimpsed emerging from the restaurant and spilling out onto the sidewalk with none other than Robert himself.

The GoodFellas icon wore a loose, comfortable-looking tan polo shirt beneath a stylish charcoal blazer for his evening out on the town.

Tiffany trailed closely behind him as he stepped out of Locanda Verde and headed toward the car that would whisk him off. 

The guest list for Thursday's bash included none other than Paul McCartney, 81, who attended on the arm of his third and latest wife Nancy Shevell, 63.

About a decade ago, Paul wrote the Golden Globe-nominated ballad (I Want To) Come Home for the 2009 film Everybody's Fine, starring Robert.

Paul was stylish as ever in a true blue blazer over a cobalt shirt, tucked into a charcoal pair of jeans that complemented his dark aviators.

A-List: Christopher Walken, 80, was also pictured in attendance at the bash

Family: Stars galore flooded into Locanda Verde, including Uma Thurman, who brought her father Robert Thurman along to enjoy the fun

Spot the resemblance: Robert, a former Buddhist monk who is now a scholar of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, stayed close to Uma as they crossed the street together toward the restaurant

Meanwhile: Her father wore a classic black suit but jazzed up the look with a splashily colorful floral shirt and a snazzy pair of burnt-orange shades

Details: Over the past three decades Uma and Robert have starred in two films together - Mad Dog And Glory in 1993 and The War With Grandpa in 2020

Meanwhile Nancy was agelessly stylish in a clinging black top that fell off the shoulder and emphasized her petite frame.

She teamed the top with a fluttery floral skirt that fell past the knee and lent the ensemble a dash of glitz with earrings and a pendant.

Nancy married Paul in 2011 three years after his $48.6 million divorce settlement with his previous wife Heather Mills, who famously has a prosthetic leg.

De Niro's daughter Drena De Niro, 51, also attended, just a month after the tragic passing of her son Leandro De Niro Rodriguez.

Uma modeled a stylish fern green coat and a sleek pair of fashionably faded cutoff jeans, burnishing her screen siren features with naturalistic makeup.

Meanwhile her father wore a classic black suit but jazzed up the look with a splashily colorful floral shirt and a snazzy pair of burnt-orange shades.

Over the past three decades Uma and Robert have starred in two films together - Mad Dog And Glory in 1993 and The War With Grandpa in 2020.

There he is: George Lucas, appearing much more causal in an untucked short-sleeved shirt, was also on hand for Thursday's celebration

There she is: As he arrived at Locanda Verde, the Star Wars impresario found himself getting thronged by fans who were possibly hoping for autographs

Old friends: Robert's birthday festivities also played host to Francis Ford Coppola, who directed him to his first Oscar in The Godfather Part II nearly half a century ago

Spotted: Among the striking attendees of the birthday party was none other than the disgraced ex-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo

Robert's birthday festivities also played host to Francis Ford Coppola, who directed him to his first Oscar in The Godfather Part II nearly half a century ago.

Francis, 84, exuded an air of old-fashioned elegance in a cream suit worn over a striped blue shirt and a complementary tie.

George Lucas, appearing much more causal in an untucked short-sleeved shirt, was also on hand for Thursday's celebration.

As he arrived at Locanda Verde, the Star Wars impresario found himself getting thronged by fans who were possibly hoping for autographs.

Music mogul Tommy Mottola, who discovered Mariah Carey and became her first husband, looked strikingly youthful for his 75 years as he swung by the party.

The widely garlanded painter Julian Schnabel went for nautical chic in blue and white, adding the eye-catching touch of a flower in his hat.

Lorne Michaels, the creator and longtime producer of Saturday Night Live, was similarly dapper as he headed to the beano in a tan suit.

Saturday Night Live has a long professional history with Robert, who first hosted the program in 2002 but made cameos as early as 1992. 

Date night: Among the controversial attendees were Alec Baldwin, 65, a little under two years out from the Rush shooting, and his wife Hilaria, 39

Among the controversial attendees were Alec Baldwin, 65, a little under two years out from the Rust shooting, and his wife Hilaria, 39, who near the end of 2020 was exposed for faking Spanish heritage.

Robert's past year has been a personal rollercoaster, from the joy of his daughter's arrival in April to the death of his 18-year-old grandson Leandro in July.

Leandro's mother Drena, who is Robert's firstborn child, announced that her son had been sold pills laced with fentanyl, tragically claiming his life.

He was discovered dead in his $950,000-dollar Wall Street apartment on July 2, sitting in a chair with white powder nearby.
