Cook, Hari Nef, Salem Mitchell, Tess McMillan, Isamaya French, Matisse Andrews, Quenlin Blackwell, Sakura Bready, Anna Collins, Blizzy McGuire, Peri Rosenzweig, and Niki Takesh all appear while toasting wine, crashing cars, and staring into any reflective surface. As a treat, Chloë Sevigny makes a surprise cameo as well—affirming her forever It status. So Julia!
