Hot on the heels of her own birthday festivities, Kate Hudson took the lead in helping her friend, Jennifer Mayer, celebrate her special day at a lavish party in Los Angeles on Monday evening.
What started as Jennifer Mayer’s birthday gathering quickly transformed into the ultimate celebrity hotspot of the weekend, drawing in big names like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom.
The extravagant event took place at Peppermint, where guests were treated to the presence of Justin Theroux with his wife, Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, and a plethora of other notable personalities.
Following the soirée, Mayer and her guests took to Instagram to share a glimpse of the glitz and glamour that unfolded inside the star-studded affair.
Among the attendees were actress Sarah Foster, journalist Derek Blasberg, and Mayer’s sister, Sarah Mayer-Michelson.
Dressed to impress, Mayer stole the show in a dazzling aqua sequin ensemble, while Kate Hudson opted for a more laid-back look in a chic white summer dress paired with a black and white floral cardigan.
The evening boasted an array of indulgences for the guests, including caviar, three decadent birthday cakes, and a selection of alcoholic beverages.
However, it seems that even the lavish spread wasn’t enough to satiate Mayer’s late-night cravings, as she confessed to making a pit stop at Shake Shack for some post-party munchies at 1 am.
This isn’t the first time Mayer has gone all out for a celebration, as evidenced by past events such as Hudson’s recent pizza party for her own birthday.
The close-knit circle of A-listers surrounding Mayer, including Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Jennifer Aniston, and others, shares a common sentiment towards her, stemming from a contentious history that dates back to a previous incident involving the Duchess.
In 2019, Buckingham Palace intervened after Mayer repeatedly featured Meghan Markle in her Instagram advertisements without permission.
Despite having a prior agreement with Markle, Mayer continued to showcase the Duchess wearing her designs, prompting the royal family to issue a stern cease and desist letter.
The fallout from the incident led to strained relations between Mayer and Markle, with the former feeling the repercussions of crossing paths with royalty.
The decision to ban freebies and enforce restrictions on promotions was a strategic move by the palace to assert authority and remind Markle of the boundaries set in their professional relationship.
Mayer’s misstep in disregarding the palace’s directive not only caused a rift in her connection with Markle but also garnered disapproval from the high-profile individuals within Mayer’s social circle.
The repercussions of the incident served as a cautionary tale, illustrating the consequences of overstepping boundaries, especially when dealing with royalty.
