Coco Austin and Ice-T celebrated their daughter Chanel’s tenth birthday with a Coraline-inspired party that brought the animated film to life.
The family hosted the bash at Nickelodeon Universe inside American Dream in New Jersey, one of their favorite spots, and invited more than sixty kids, family members, and friends.
Many of the guests were Chanel’s new classmates, who joined her for rides, games, and plenty of photo moments throughout the indoor park.
Coco later shared photos from the celebration and reflected on how fast the last decade has gone. “Chanel is a decade old!! What? Totally insane!! I remember walking in the hospital like it was yesterday to give birth to this child!” she wrote. “I love how she has turned into such a polite, beautiful, loving human-being with so much personality.”
The Coraline theme made perfect sense since it’s Chanel’s favorite film. Back in September, Coco posted photos from her first day of fourth grade, where Chanel wore bright blue streaks in her hair to match Coraline’s signature look.
In one of the snaps, Chanel held a handmade sign reading, “My First Day of 4th Grade!”
“First days of school are always sweet and bitter for me.. I hate to see her go but love to see her excited about school and to see her friends,” Coco captioned. “I hate to admit this but im [sic] jealous of school sometimes because they spend more time with her more than me during the year.”
“But im proud of the little human she has become,” she continued. “Love my @babychanelnicole #firstdayofschool2025 #4thgrade.”
The Coraline love continued beyond the first day of school. The family even dressed as characters from the film for Chanel’s school Halloween party, making the birthday celebration feel like the latest chapter in a theme that Chanel has been building all year.
