There are parties, and then there are Hollywood parties that take it to the next level (and then some)!
Where the good times roll for days, the guest list reads like a who’s who of the rich and famous, the party treats are all perfectly themed and the Instagram snaps are legendary.
Sure, it might sound easy if you’ve got a giant house and heaps of cash to splash, but the truth is some stars are so good at party planning they’d be the hostess with the mostess whatever their budget. We’ve rounded up the best celebrity party hosts as proof.
From Heidi Klum’s famous Halloween bash and the Hemsworths’ love of fancy dress to David Beckham’s memorable Moroccan 40th birthday and Kim Kardashian West’s jaw-dropping kids party for North, you’ll soon agree that no one parties quite like these megastars.

There’s no doubt about it, the Hemsworths know how to party and they’re not afraid to publicise it! Earlier this year, eldest brother Luke threw a gold-themed birthday bash for his wife, Samantha complete with a giant gold horse and golden appearances by younger bro Liam and Miley Cyrus.
Middle sibling Chris and his wife Elsa Pataky threw a ’60s hippie party to ring in the new year a couple of years ago.
They kept the tradition going last year with a Wild Wild West themed NYE bash, though Chris’ Native American costume sparked outrage and led the Hollywood hunk to issue an apology for his “ignorance” last month. “I was stupidly unaware of the offence this may have caused and the sensitivity around this issue. I sincerely and unreservedly apologise to all First Nations people for this thoughtless action,” he said on Instagram.
Taylor Swift left little doubt in anyone’s mind that she’s the best friend ever when she hosted an amazing 4th of July party at her Rhode Island home this year. The whole squad including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Ruby Rose and Karlie Kloss enjoyed ocean swims, inflatable water rides, fireworks and custom onesies.
And it’s not only Independence Day parties that Taylor excels at. Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Selena Gomez, Sam Smith and (so many) more joined the singer/squad leader to make her 25th birthday a memorable one.
David Beckham jetted to Marrakech to kick-start his lavish 40th birthday celebrations. The retired soccer player and father of four was joined by his wife Victoria, their children, David’s family and a few special guests…
That’s right! The Spice Girls (minus Mel B) reunited to help David celebrate his 40th. Victoria’s bestie, Eva Longoria, joked that she was the newest girl band member saying, “I’m the new Spice Girl! #LatinaSpice.” Budding photographer Brooklyn wasn’t the only one snapping away, with David sharing this cute snap of Harper styling his hair.
With Kim Kardashian and Kanye West as her parents, North West’s first birthday party was never exactly going to be a low-key affair! Her Kidchella-themed bash probably made most adults jealous with its giant Ferris wheel, rainbow cake and karaoke by aunts Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
She’s the undisputed Queen of Halloween thanks to her lavish party that she throws every year. And despite the always-impressive A-list guest list, Heidi Klum always manages to stand out thanks to her amazing transformations. Last year her incredible Jessica Rabbit costume took hours of prosthetic work to ensure her cartoonish features were spot on.
Now in its 17th year, Heidi’s annual invite-only party is always one of the hottest tickets around, if only to see the host’s impressive outfit up close!
Heidi always goes all-out with her costumes making her the perfect party host.
From spooky to sexy, Heidi’s elaborate get-ups never fail to disappoint.
When you’re part of one of the most successful reality TV dynasties of all time, you don’t let a birthday pass without a big celebration. Khloe Kardashian’s 32nd birthday was no exception. She booked out an arcade and invited her nearest and dearest to join her for some air hockey, carnival-themed snacks and lots of Snapchatting!
Big sister Kim and Blac Chyna posed up a storm.
Close friends Chrissy Teigen and John Legend also joined Khloe to celebrate.
Elton John has been hosting his Oscars viewing party since 1993. Known for his love of all things luxe, Elton’s AIDS Foundation Academy Award bash is one of the most popular philanthropic parties around. Mariah Carey, Heidi Klum and Caitlyn Jenner were just some of the big name stars in attendance this year.
Past guests at Elton’s Oscars viewing party have included everyone from Kylie Minogue to lovebirds Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.
Queen of cool Kate Moss has quite the reputation as a party animal. Hardly surprising when you consider the epic The Beautiful and Damned bash she threw for her 30th or the reported 100 hours of hardcore partying she put in to mark her 40th! And it’s not just her birthday she celebrates in style, it was during her best friend Sadie Frost’s 50th festivities that she was escorted off a plane after a run-in with a pilot!
