Charli XCX’s thirty second Birthday Was a Licensed Bratfest, That includes Lorde, Glen Powell, and a Cigarette Bouquet

I’m not going to lie: I believed I used to be fairly cool for serving appetizers at my thirty first party final month. I imply, what’s extra grownup and chic than giving company little ham-and-cheese pinwheels to gnaw on whereas they drink to extra? However, shockingly sufficient, Charli XCX in some way outdid me at her thirty second birthday fête in Los Angeles on Friday, which drew none aside from Lorde in to bounce with Charli to their “Lady, So Complicated” remix.

I don’t even know what to deal with first in that Oscar-worthy video snippet, to be trustworthy. Is it Charli’s Brat-green cellphone case? Her beyond-perfect pantless birthday look? Lorde’s nutso little braids? Rachel Sennott and Molly Gordon dancing subsequent to them? The man within the crowd who’s clearly being FaceTimed in? Or ought to we simply zoom out to the truth that the Manic Pixie Dream Man himself, Glen Powell, was there too (effectively, not essentially at this particular second, which appears to have been reserved for the girlies and gays, however on the celebration extra usually)?

As if Powell’s presence weren’t sufficient, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Finneas, Gracie Abrams, Addison Rae, Tove Lo, Nelly Furtado, Anya Taylor-Pleasure, and two of the Willis sisters—Scout and Tallulah, to be particular—have been additionally available to have a good time the day this world went from being Charli XCX-less to Charli XCX-full, and I definitely hope they introduced an enormous array of slime inexperienced items.
