See All the Photos From Popsugars Y2K-Inspired 20th Birthday Party

It was a perfectly balmy New York summer night when the first guests started streaming out of the elevator and into The Standard’s Penthouse in the East Village for our 20th birthday party. They were greeted by sweeping views of Manhattan, plus some undeniably nostalgic decorations and outfits — the bash was Y2K-themed, after all. The entire night was a celebration of the enduring impact of the 2000s and our Aughts Effect cover stories and package.

Fittingly, Monique Coleman, one of our cover stars, was in attendance in a hot pink going-out dress. She chatted throughout the night with another former Popsugar cover star, Taryn Delanie Smith, who was clad in a cheetah print number. Other notable attendees included Kaylor Martin, Azzy Milan, and, of course, much of the Popsugar team.

In addition to the 360-degree views, guests enjoyed snapping photos in the very retro Majestic Photobooth and getting tooth gems from Tooth Jem, an NYC-based artist. They listened to tunes by DJ Denise Rénee as they sipped specialty cocktails like The Cheetahrita, as well as our N/A option, Poppi’s sour apple flavor. Some munched on Magnolia Bakery‘s iconic cupcakes, and they could not wait to dig into our gift bags, which were chock-full of 2000s-inspired products: Juicy Couture’s iconic Viva La Juicy perfume and elixir; Maybelline’s Great Lash and Sky Tube Tubing mascaras; Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Water Gels; Old Navy flip-flops; Bubly Wine Refreshers; Clinique’s Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator; Power Crunch protein bars; Lancome Juicy Tubes; Fields Good cookies; and Fruit Roll-ups. Truly the gift bag of our 2006 dreams.
