There's little we like more than a party, but between our crazy deadlines and business demands, we've never had the time to throw any sort of soirée —until now. To celebrate the publication of
Who What Wear: Celebrity and Runway Style for Real Life, we had a little bash last week and are so thrilled to bring you all the details of that shindig today! The party, which was graciously and gorgeously hosted by Maybelline New York Color Sensational, was over-the-top fun. Between the location (poolside at the Sunset Tower Hotel), music (courtesy of Samantha Ronson), and crowd (stylish lads and ladies galore), we're pretty darn certain everyone had a blast—we sure did!
Of course, even though we were dancing up a storm, we did still take the time to find out what all our fashionable attendees were wearing. What can we say: even when we're off duty, our outfit radars are always on! Read on for all the Who What and Wear details...
