Jamie Foxx has made a brilliant case for celebrating one’s birthday in a belated fashion, as he finally toasted to his 55th.

The star swigged from champagne bottles, showed off his own eyewear collection and cosied up to pals, as friends gathered at Arc nightclub in Paris on Sunday night.

Jamie’s latest spin around the sun happened December 13, but evidently a busy man, he waited until this weekend to celebrate, with a party hosted by Privé Revaux, the sunglass brand he’s associated with, which has also counted celebrity partners Hailee Steinfeld and Ashley Benson.

In a birthday ensemble to end all birthday ensembles, the Oscar-winner wore a long leather coat and matching trousers, with a pair of blue-tinted Privé Revaux shades from his own collection, as well as a black and white fuzzy Playboy sweater to top it off.

And not forgetting the cake, he beamed alongside an extravagant five-layered sweet treat, topped off with a pair of the same glasses he was wearing, and we can’t help but applaud the star for his efforts of promotion.

We simply don’t know whether we now want a pair of sunglasses or a piece of cake. Or both.

Showing us all how the rich and famous celebrate their birthdays, at one point, Jamie – who won widespread praise for his portrayal of icon Ray Charles – jumped on the piano and played along with dance tracks for the feverish punters at his soiree.

At least this was one glitzy shindig Jamie was allowed into, after he was ‘turned away’ from Cardi B’s recent 30th birthday.

In October it was reported that Jamie was turned away from the party following a misunderstanding with a door attendant after he turned up late with around 10 people and they didn’t have a section with him.

Sources added to TMZ that Jamie walked out of the party, that there are no hard feelings, and that he handled the situation well.

Probably because he knew that come December he had one hell of a party waiting for his own birthday.

It comes as Jamie prepares to hit the big screen with Cameron Diaz, who has come out of ‘retirement’ for an upcoming Netflix comedy.

Jamie announced the exciting news, sharing a recording of a call with Cameron – and Tom Brady, their resident expert in ‘un-retiring’.

He tweeted: ‘Cameron I hope you aren’t mad I recorded this, but no turning back now. Had to call in the GOAT to bring back another GOAT.

‘@CameronDiaz and I are BACK IN ACTION – our new movie with @NetflixFilm. Production starting later this year!!’
