Stassie Karanikolaou’s birthday bash was an A-list shindig of epic proportions!
On the wild night of June 8, just before YouTube sensation Stassie turned the big 2-7, the glitterati of Los Angeles gathered to party like rockstars. Leading the charge was none other than Kylie Jenner, ready to paint the town red for her BFF. Along for the ride were celebs like Addison Rae, Rosalía, Tana Mongeau, and Emma Chamberlain—essentially the Avengers of the influencer world.
Stassie strutted her stuff in a tan crochet dress, probably knitted by some chic grandma in Milan. Kylie, always the fashionista, opted for a white one-shoulder minidress paired with a black leather jacket—classic “I’m here to party, but also maybe fight a biker gang” vibes. The squad hit up The Nice Guy, the swankiest spot around, as reported by Hello (because of course, Hello knows all the tea).
After the rager, Stassie lit up Instagram Stories with a parade of pics and vids from the night. Picture this: enormous cakes adorned with photos of her fabulous self, enough candles to signal Batman, and a very happy Stassie in a restaurant booth, grinning like she just found out all-you-can-eat sushi was real.
One particularly touching Insta post featured a locket with a pic of Stassie and her mom, plus a recording of her mom belting out “Happy Birthday.” Her mom passed away in June 2023, making the locket a heart-melting early birthday gift. “I will forever cherish this voicemail,” she wrote, with probably enough crying emojis to flood an arid desert. “So grateful I still get to hear you singing me happy birthday every year. I miss you mommy.”
Stassie also showered her manager Alexis Fisher with love for the thoughtful gift. “@alexisjfisher I can’t even put into words how much I love you thank you for the most special gift 😭,” she gushed, ensuring everyone had their tissues ready.
Kylie being at Stassie’s birthday was a given. These two are tighter than a pair of skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. “She’s definitely my oldest friend,” Kylie revealed in The Kardashians’ season 3 finale. “We grew up together, we’ve been through so much together. She’s like a sister.”
Stassie, in a 2021 interview with Bustle, spilled the beans on their unbreakable bond. “We know too much about each other. We’re stuck with each other forever,” she laughed. She even joked about their future plans, saying they’d move to a farm and get married. Because nothing screams “best friends forever” like planning a countryside wedding and cow milking schedule.
