Republic hosted a lavish post-VMAs soiree at
The Fleur Room at
Moxy Chelsea, which was attended by all manner of glittery people with blingy careers, including trophy-winning artists
Taylor Swift and the
Jonas Brothers. Some guests looked fabulous while demurely sipping craft cocktails, while others absconded with trays of
hors d'oeuvres and ate them in a corner like caged animals. We don't judge. Anyway, here are some very important people looking fancy.
The ubiquitous and ultra-gifted
Taylor Swift embraces label chief
Monte Lipman, whose personal anthem is "You need not to calm down but to become increasingly more intense while crushing everything in your path, but in a very
haimisch way."
Avery Lipman greets EVP/GM
Jim Roppo and
Robin Roppo shortly before all three were seized by a wave of
MTV nostalgia and spent the remainder of the evening binge-watching
T'Pau videos.
Monte joins the label's
John Taylor,
Joe Jonas,
Kevin Jonas and manager
Phil McIntyre to rehearse some last-minute changes to their choreography.
Taylor is flanked by
Bella and
Gigi Hadid in one of those classic tableaux that makes us feel really not so great about how our own lives turned out. But we digress.
