Lori Harvey Shares Exclusive Photos From Her Star-Studded Birthday Party
If you can believe it, Lori Harvey’s 26th birthday bash—an all-out, no-holds-barred black-tie affair whose guest list included Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Daniel Kaluuya—came together in just seven days. The model, actress, and head of skincare line SKN by LH is also a “true Capricorn,” she told W via e-mail—and is therefore a meticulous planner with expansive concepts when it comes time to celebrate her birthday each year. “I’m a huge birthday person,” she added. “I take it very seriously and always want to celebrate and go all out.” In this case, going all out feels like a bit of an understatement. The January 13 event, sponsored by Revolve and Patrón, began with an intimate dinner at Lavo Ristorante in West Hollywood followed by a rager held at the invite-only cocktail lounge The Fleur Room (between the two stops there was, of course, a costume change). Most media coverage of the evening has highlighted Harvey’s public debut with her new rumored boyfriend, Damson Idris—but in the birthday girl’s eyes, the most memorable part of the evening was toasting another year with her nearest and dearest. “It was amazing to see my friends celebrating with me, and the overall genuine vibes that continued throughout the night,” she said.

For Harvey’s (second) look of the night, the model switched from a black, draped The Attico dress to a more slinky, cutout gown by Agent Provocateur. “I just wanted to feel and look my best, and have a timeless, chic, and comfortable dress I could dance in. That was most important!” Harvey said.

Harvey said she typically purchases something as a birthday gift for herself, “but this year, I was so focused on making sure my party was perfect, because I haven’t thrown a big party in a while, that I forgot. But it’s not too late...”

“This was actually our first time meeting,” Harvey says of Lil Nas X. “Nas had just gotten back into town, so he came through with the best vibes and energy. He was tearing up the dance floor all night. I adore him and can’t wait for round two.”
“My core team made this happen,” Harvey adds of Akansha Mirchandani, Tre Thomas, and Carrington Harris, pictured here, who planned the party. “I like to collaborate, share my ideas, and find someone who understands my vision and brings it to life perfectly. I’m very particular and these three just took over and made sure I had a special day. We actually sent out invites only two days prior to the party, because I wanted to make sure all the moving parts would come together in time. And they did.”
