For Nina Dobrev‘s 27th birthday party on January 9, guests were told to dress up as their favorite emojis, and boy did they deliver! Boyfriend Austin Stowell, 31, Kat Graham, 26, Nick Jonas, 23, Jessica Szohr, 30, and Eli Mizrahi, 37, all turned out to celebrate with the former Vampire Diaries star in text-tastic style. Luckily, there’s some photographic (and video!) proof of the whole affair! Click through to see!
How fun is this bunch? Nina and pals took over the venue (unrevealed), dressed to the nines (and crying/laughing faces) to party the night away. Nina was an iPhone-purrfect heart-eyed cat, decked out in gold face paint, red glitter hearts over her eyes, and golden cat ears to match. Austin went as the adorable panda, according to E! News. You can see him right behind her in the video!

Listen to this: Nina apparently pole danced at one point while wearing a huge cardboard sign that said “FREQUENTLY USED” (you know it), showing a bunch of different emojis — with a cutout of her face. Oh my god! She also wore the getup to blow out her candles. Talk about party goals. We would have never come up with this theme in a million years.
We’re loving the group of ladies who turned out as the different versions of the don’t care, better than you, pink shirt girl: Chauntel Lewis, Morgan Beau, Riawna Capri and Tyler Kain. They did that sassy chick total justice. Apparently the party was a total hit, with a partygoer telling E! that “It was a great birthday. Nina was so happy so many of her close friends turned out. It was a big party.” So glad! Now somebody please tell us what Nick was wearing! CLICK HERE to buy a Vampire Diaries boxed set!
