PEOPLE is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and in addition to rounding up some of our favorite stars to toast to the milestone and looking back at some of the most special and impactful stories we’ve told over the years, we’re inviting readers to celebrate with us at an exclusive, one-of-a-kind exhibit at Fotografiska New York that highlights the incredible cultural moments and photography found within our pages over the past five decades.
To kick off the monthlong installation, which will include panels interviewing some of the top photographers in the world, royal insiders and our own editors-in-chief, PEOPLE hosted a party and invited our celebrity friends to attend. Look inside the exciting evening.
