So what if it's a Monday? So what if the nighttime temps made Hollywood feel more like Havana? It didn't stop our guest of honor [Bill Skarsgard](http://www.flaunt.com/content/bill-skarsgard) from once again donning some stunning [Ermenegildo Zegna](https://www.zegna.us/us-en/home.html) duds, looking as fresh as when he sported their looks on our Prelude Issue cover, nor did it prevent the likes of [Lakeith Stanfield](http://www.flaunt.com/content/fashion/prada-drop-cover-and-hold-on-lakeith-stanfield), Rafael Casal, Jack Kilmer, and Avan Jogia, dressed to the nines and looking like tens in Ermenegildo Zegna, from descending on Hollywood favorite Beauty & Essex to celebrate our 20th Anniversary Volume One: The Prelude Issue.
Guests made their way through a cheeky pawn shop entrance and upstairs to an opulently chandeliered lounge, where Flaunt bid farewell to its terrible teens with a stylish get-down to ring in our big 2-0. Any Monday blues were quickly chased away after a sip from a glass half full of Maestro Dobel summer tequila cocktails (still another year before we’re 21—don’t tell mom and dad) which paired well with a boogie-down to beats spun by DJs Jihaari and Darren Rademaker.
Additional notable attendees included Alexander Skarsgard, Ezra Miller (who was in attendance with his bandmates Lilah Larson and Josh Aubin from [Sons of an Illustrious Father](http://www.flaunt.com/content/sons-of-an-illustrious-father)), Claudia Kim, Soko, Brandon Lee, Myles O'Neal, Rosa Salazar, [Lucia Ribisi](http://www.flaunt.com/content/people/lucia-ribisi-is-working-harder-and-reaching-farther), Hart Denton, [Garrett Clayton](http://www.flaunt.com/content/people/garrett-clayton), K. Roosevelt, [Amanda Steele](http://www.flaunt.com/content/people/amanda-steele), Percelle Ascott, [Christian Rosa](http://www.flaunt.com/content/art/christian-rosa), Janina Gavankar, and Niia.
But don't blow out the candles just yet. Flaunt’s 20th Anniversary celebration is just getting started. Keep an eye out for the soon-to-land Next Issue: 20th Anniversary Volume 2, and stay cool out there.
