To celebrate her birthday with all the pomp and show she deserves, Sydney Sweeney threw a grand party in Los Angeles last weekend. At her 26th bash, she chose to go with a nostalgic prom night theme. This was perfect considering that it was her teen drama series Euphoria that launched the actress to such super-stardom. As various celebrities pulled up to welcome her birthday with her, the night was lit up by the star-studded events’ glitz. However, lavish parties are not a rare occurrence among the A-list folks of Tinseltown.  

In the world of the wealthy and famous, a birthday tends to be as luxurious an affair as a Hollywood red carpet. Sometimes, the event’s scale goes beyond imagination like it did with these stars.

In 2013, Kylie Jenner’s 16th birthday was straight out of a fiction novel. Not only because the theme of the party was Alice in Wonderland but also because of the unreal amount of megastars present at it. Obviously, her reality stars-filled family, including Kim Kardashian, were present. Meanwhile, renowned hip-hop artists Drake and Big Sean both performed for her.

Another rap star, Tyga was among those that attended. Besides them, she was joined by a crowd of 200 which included Will Smith’s children, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith. Evidently, the Kylie Cosmetics founder’s 16th was a night to remember. 

Emotions run high at Nina Dobrev’s 27th

Vampire Diaries fame Nina Dobrev got creative with the theme of her 27th birthday in 2016. Since the theme was Emojis, the event was full of a range of emotions walking around on two legs. Many people dressed up as their favorite emoticons of 2016. Whereas, Dobrev who once got the taste of Henry Cavill’s iconic red carpet sophistication, became the kitten with red heart eyes. 

 

Hilariously, the most popular ones were the poop emojis. Among the people that showed up was the Disney actor and singer, Nick Jonas. Meanwhile, the comedians Adam Devine and Seth McFarlane were probably feeling right at home during the prank-like affair. 

Just like the Canadian actress, Mariah Carey had thrown a costume party the previous year. Somehow, her theme was even quirkier.

In 2015, the now 53-year-old Mariah Carey came up with a rather flattering theme for her birthday. The ‘Butterfly’ singer wanted everybody to look like a diva. So, she asked her guests to come dressed as different variations of herself!

Since 2015 was the same year she had parted ways with Nick Cannon, maybe the 5-time Grammy winner wanted to just celebrate herself amidst the heartbreak. Either way, a few dozen people attended and complied with her wishes too.

In Katy Perry’s music videos, candy references and backdrops full of dessert tend to be a common occurrence. For her 25th birthday, the American Idol judge wanted her theme to reflect her love for candy. What better way to achieve that feat than a Willy Wonka theme complete with chocolate fountains, and giant candy all around for your birthday? And Taylor Swift was among those who graced it!

Besides the music industry mogul, the party that sounds like a 5-year-old’s dream birthday was attended by many other celebrities. Celebrity journalist Perez Hilton also tweeted about the chocolate-filled affair later.

Like Sydney Sweeney’s recent prom-style outfit, many guests at the Twilight actor’s party also donned vintage suits and dresses.
