(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Ashley Greene celebrated her birthday with a candy-themed party over the weekend.

The actress - who is best known for her role in vampire franchise Twilight - hosted an early 24th birthday party in Las Vegas on Saturday night, with her boyfriend Joe Jonas by her side. Ashley and her friends danced until the early hours at the Pure Nightclub in Caesars Palace, and her private party area was decorated with oversized candy swirl lollipops.

The star who turns 24 today - was also presented with an impressive three-tiered cake in the shape of a castle.

Ashley looked stunning in a form-fitting black strapless dress and happily showed off her birthday present from Joe a gold Chanel bracelet.

"The funny thing about it is when I got it, my boyfriend said it's vintage Coach and I was like, 'Thanks so much.' And then I put it on and was like, 'Oh my God, this is Chanel,'" Ashley explained. "It was very cute and sweet and adorable to me because my boyfriend gave it to me. Coach, Chanel, [it] makes no difference to him... [But] I absolutely love it because he knows what I like."

Even though Ashley was thrilled with the lavish gift from her pop star boyfriend, she insists the best thing about the evening was spending time with her loved ones.

"I know this is cheesy," she added, "but the biggest gift to me was having my best friends fly in to celebrate with me." (C) Cover Media
