Over the weekend, Toronto-bred actress Nina Dobrev, of Degrassi and Vampire Diaries fame, hosted an over-the-top 30th birthday bash in L.A. with a star-studded guest list that included Shawn Mendes, Alessia Cara and Vin Diesel. It was Coachella-themed (sorry, “Nina-chella”–themed), which meant there was no shortage of flower crowns, fringed crop tops and heart-shaped sunnies. Here are some of the most outrageous snaps from the party, featuring a heavily-filtered MirMir photo booth and lots of dance moves.
