On Thursday November 10th I attended the premiere event for HBO’s Season 2 of The Sex Lives of College Girls. I missed my alma mater’s homecoming this year, and The Sex Lives of College Girls definitely made up for it! The premiere truly felt like a college homecoming.
The night started off at the iconic NeueHouse Bradbury in Downtown LA. Hosted by HBOMax and Phenomenal, Essex College Career Night was a blast. Upon walking in guests were welcomed with a quick photoshoot. There were signature cocktails at the bar including Jungle Juice and Essex Mules. Stars Pauline Chalamet, Reneé Rapp, and Alyah Chanelle Scott were in attendance.

Waiters walked around with trays of finger foods including grilled cheese, mini sliders, and mushroom tacos. While there, guests were able to customize their own Essex College sweatshirts! There was also an interactive wall where attendees could share their own college journey. Attendees were encouraged to pick a colored ribbon and plot life moments that brought them to where they were today. Some of those moments were super goofy, “came drunk to class, did undie run, had $1 in my bank account.”
Creators of the show Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble were in attendance and gave a speech thanking the cast and crew for their hard work, and celebrated everyone’s accomplishments thus far in their careers. Upon leaving guests were given goodie bags packed with all the things needed to conquer a college tailgate. Goodies included @LIVETINTED Hueguard & Hueglow, @CALPAK Water Bottle Holder, and an @YETI Water Bottle, along with a $50 Postmates gift card to enjoy the day of the premiere.

The screening took place at Los Angeles Center Studios where guests got to see episode 1 of season 2. With this new season comes even more chaos and sticky situations for our leading ladies to dive into, together. It will be exciting to see just what’s in store for season 2 as the stakes continue to rise.
Following the screening was the afterparty directly outside. Music was by ROSEGOLD with a special guest performance from artist Joyce Wrice. Wrice performed music off her latest EP, Motive with Downtown LA as her background. The energy between her and the crowd was beautiful to witness.

The party included fun interactive games such as beer pong, connect four, table tennis and bean bag tossing. Food trucks such as Coolhaus and Trejo’s Tacos provided delicious food to munch on in between the dancing and playing games. Bumble was taking pictures of guests to update your instagram or dating apps with.
Safe to say, this was the best Homecoming I’ve ever been to. The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 2 premieres Thursday November 17th on HBO Max. Be sure to tune in!
