The stars were out in full force in New York City on a warm spring Tuesday to celebrate the long-awaited launch of PEOPLE’s brand-new app.
On April 29, A-listers from Olivia Munn to Padma Lakshmi graced The Chelsea Hotel to join Dotdash Meredith CEO, Neil Vogel, PEOPLE President Leah Wyar, PEOPLE Editor-in-Chief and GM Charlotte Triggs and more of the brand’s faces and toast to the exciting launch of the new venture — with some fabulous cocktails, e.l.f. Cosmetics goodie bags and a special performance to top off the night.
Among the famous faces in attendance were You star Madeline Brewer, Severance‘s Jen Tullock, Matlock‘s Skye P. Marshall and a host of Bravo favorites, including Summer House stars Carl Radke and Lexi Wood.
Several of the Real Housewives of New Jersey were also in attendance — Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs and Jackie Goldschneider — as well as RHONY‘s Dorinda Medley.

There were two signature cocktails for the guests to sip on at the Paramount+ bar, The Star is Streaming (tequila, kirsch, pomegranate, mango, lime, soda) — which was Wood’s favorite — and Peach Perfect+ (vodka, white peach, lychee, yuzu, sake, jasmine, sparkling wine).
Near the bar, Munn — who told PEOPLE on the carpet she’d taken a red-eye to be in attendance, following being honored in L.A. at the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s Unforgettable Evening gala on Monday — socialized with the PEOPLE people and chatted with Lakshmi.

As the stars mingled, they also took turns posing in the PEOPLE App photo booth, where the housewives all had major moments, and Medley and Gorga both had some fun as they each posed for some glamorous solo shots.
Brewer, who joined the final season of Penn Badgley’s hit Netflix series and finally took his stalker Joe down, was a favorite amongst the Bravo stars. At one point, she was looking around the party for Wood and once she found her, yelled, “I’m a huge fan!” across the room.

Wood had a sweet moment with her costar Radke on the red carpet and inside the party, she mingled alongside her mom and sister, who couldn’t help but gush about how well the newcomer handled herself on this season of Summer House amidst the drama with Jesse Solomon.
Passed appetizers including burger sliders, mini lobster rolls, fried chicken bites and shrimp cocktail floated through the party too — along with some fresh-from-the-oven warm cookies later in the night — and the celebration’s main event kicked off at 9 p.m. sharp as SAINt JHN took the stage for an intimate performance.
The 38-year-old singer performed several of his hits including “Sucks to Be You,” but the highlight of the set had to be him handing PEOPLE’s Editor-in-Chief Triggs his chic sunglasses mid-song.
