Alina Habba, the former acting New Jersey US attorney and former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, married Turkish billionaire Turhan Mildon during a lavish Saturday celebration at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

The glittering gathering filled the legendary hotel with political figures, celebrities and extravagant floral displays.

Habba, 42, wed Mildon, 29, the CEO of Miller Holding, a prominent Turkish multinational conglomerate.

Mildon’s grandfather founded the business in 1967, and its work specializes in energy, construction and mining.

The celebration unfolded inside the midtown hotel’s ballroom on the fourth floor.

Scores of pink and white cherry blossoms decorated the room, along with hundreds of red roses that transformed the ballroom for the weekend festivities.

One leading event planner estimated that renting the ballroom and providing the flowers and music would cost “easily $1 million.”

That estimate did not include possible additional expenses for guest rooms or other public areas inside the hotel.

Habba and Mildon planned the elaborate spectacle in only three months, according to a source who spoke with The Post.

They enlisted two leading wedding planners from Palm Beach to help organize the celebration on the compressed timeline.

The couple initially wanted to hold the celebration at the iconic Plaza Hotel, but the venue was already booked.

They instead landed at the Waldorf Astoria, where the ballroom served as the setting for the ceremony’s lavish floral presentation and crowded guest list.

Through Miller Holding, Mildon has reportedly developed close relationships with government leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Venezuela.

Those reported ties include interim President Delcy Rodriguez.

Hours before the reception began, Habba’s two young children were seen being brought through the hotel lobby by a staffer.

Her daughter is named Chloe, and her son is named Luke.

Margo Martin, a special assistant and communication advisor to President Trump, was among the first guests seen arriving for the event.

The administration presence did not end there, giving the wedding a distinctly Washington-flavored guest list.

FBI Director Kash Patel and US Attorney General Todd Blanche were also spotted at the celebration.

Boxer Mike Tyson joined the notable attendees at the Waldorf Astoria gathering.

Trump did not attend the Saturday night event because he was in Knoxville, Tennessee, watching a major college football game. No. 1 Texas survived its matchup against No. 14 Tennessee by a score of 20 to 17.

Habba and Mildon were first seen together publicly in April at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

That event was cut short when a gunman attempted to rush the ballroom.

The couple later appeared together at the Executive Branch, a private club in Washington, DC, on the Fourth of July.

Their relationship drew further attention last week when they were seen outside the Polo Room restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Habba was wearing a large diamond engagement ring believed to be at least 23 carats during that appearance, according to the Daily Mail.

She also carried a pink ostrich Hermès Birkin bag that sells for $30,000.

Habba and Mildon first met earlier this year at an event at the Kennedy Center in Washington, according to the outlet.

Their wedding followed only months later, with the planning for the Waldorf Astoria celebration completed in three months.

The weekend celebration marked Habba’s third trip down the aisle.

She divorced her second husband, parking lot magnate Gregg Reuben, sometime after resigning from her position as the Garden State’s top federal prosecutor last December.

Habba divorced her first husband, attorney Matthew Eyet, in 2019.

Eyet is the father of Chloe and Luke, who were seen arriving at the hotel before their mother’s star-filled reception.
