Rachel Bilson threw a birthday bash for her beloved show, *The O.C.*, on Wednesday (July 31) in Los Angeles, and it was a party to remember! The show hit the big 2-1, and Rachel, who rocked the role of Summer Roberts, decided to celebrate in style. Not only was it a birthday bash, but it also marked the launch of The O.C. x 21Seeds “Serving Summer” campaign, teaming up with tequila because, let’s face it, nothing says “nostalgia” like tequila.
For the festivities, Rachel donned a bubblegum pink dress that looked like it had been plucked straight from a cotton candy machine, complete with cutouts and a floral accent. She accessorized with a matching bag and shoes so high they could double as stilts. Her hair was down, flowing like a well-coiffed waterfall, making it clear she was ready to party like it was 2003.
Rachel took a stroll down memory lane and pondered where Summer Roberts might be today. According to her, Summer is now living the dream as a science teacher and PTA president—because of course, she is! She’s probably baking cupcakes for school fundraisers while debating the merits of the latest scientific breakthroughs.
Rachel mused about the possibility of a showdown between herself and Summer: “I think we’d have a classic love-hate rivalry. Picture this: two competitive moms battling it out to see who’s the best at everything, from bake sales to science fairs.”
Summer’s life is basically one big reality TV show now, and Rachel’s all for it. Who knew science class could be so dramatic?
