Doja Cat Meets a Dreamy Dinner Party & A Swedish Summer Spectacular
A Comforting Epicurean Bash at Beauty & Essex
- Doja Cat marked the launch of her new album Planet Her by treating herself and the celebrity crowd to a lavish dinner at Beauty & Essex in L.A., on Thursday, June 24.
- Guest list? Think of it as a pop‑star Who’s Who: The Weeknd, French Montana, Belly were all present, alongside big‑name A‑list business execs Lydia Asrat, Gordan Dillard, Wassim “Sal” Slaiby, and his counterpart – the former Miss USA, 2010, Rima Fakih Slaiby.
- It was a visual feast: sparkling glasses, shimmering cupcakes, and a backstage wall of glittering social‑media buzz that would make any influencer blush.
Next Door: The TAO Way Swedish‑Style Party
- Just a few doors from the grill‑meets‑glitter at Beauty & Essex, the home of TAO in L.A. happened a second high‑profile bash, complete with a Swedish Midsummer flair.
- What’s a Midsummer bash? Think of it as [a] rustic summer rave, where guests wear white to feel the fresh, civic atmosphere—plus a nod to the Northern European festival tradition.
- The night doubled as a birthday celebration for Pavan Pardasani, TAO’s chief marketing officer.
- VIPs (yes, the same French Montana from the Dinner Party? Good detective work!) were the likes of Tyga, Wiz Khalifa, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Giveon, Boy Wonder, Nav, Justin, Christian Combs, Tdot Illdude, and dozens of other music insiders.
- DJ Eric DLux’s energy set the tone; the dance floor from the first burst of summer radiated with high‑tempo beats and stellar vibes.
- Unexpected highlight: rapper G‑Eazy took the mic for a spontaneous, jaw‑dropping rap set that had attendees shouting “Encore!” and laughing like nobody wanted to leave.
The Bottom Line
Two nights, one city, and an entire galaxy of star power spun the world of L.A. nightlife into an atmosphere that would make even the planet itself feel jealous. From underground heats to pop‑culture amplification, these celebrations left no venue untouched and no hearts untouched.
