Bottoms up and party on!
[slideshow]This past weekend a bundle of A-list celebrities boogied their way over to one of the hottest parties in the desert, The Levi’s Brand and Re/Done | Levi’s Present Neon Carnival With Tequila Don Julio.
The shindig took place on a private hanger that was transformed into an epic mini carnival that included a Ferris wheel and a fun interactive photo booth where celebs got the chance to strike a pose with a vintage Tequila Don Julio 1942 truck. Guests also partied it up with some specialty cocktails served from the Airstream Speakeasy, a mobile bar that has toured with Tequila Don Julio and has made some appearances at some of the largest events.
Some of the major highlights of the festival include Leonardo DiCaprio entering incognito in a hat and sunglasses. He seemed to be enjoying himself and even got down to 9os hit “No Scrubs.” Rihanna took a break from her “Anti” World Tour and made an appearance at the festival rocking sparkly sunglasses and sleek straight hair. She was later joined by Leo who stopped by to say hello.
Aaron Paul and his wife Lauren were ultimate #squadgoals at the festival. After being among the first to arrive and treated to a 1942 bottle service the couple were joined by their friends Nina Dobrev, Derek Hough and Josh Hutcherson and were seen dancing to the beats of DJ Equal. Also seen was Kellan Lutz ditching his posse to take a swing at the array of festival games.
Straight Out of Compton’s O’Shea Jackson Jr. made a trip to the Don Julio Airstream Speakeasy and sipped on some Tequila Don Julio 1942. Also spotted at the Airstream Speakeasy was upcoming rapper G-Eazy who enjoyed the Helter Skelter Tequila Don Julio specialty cocktail.
Big time fashion model Karlie Kloss stopped by the Batiste Dry Shampoo Braid Bar to stalk up on a few mini samples to help her get through the crazy festival weekend. Television personality Kyle Richards was also spotted at the Batiste Dry Shampoo Braid Bar to get a quick hair refresh and her husband, Mauricio even took a crack at it.
