Flirty, thirty, and thriving! On Thursday night, Matthew Cancel celebrated his 30th birthday with a slick soirée at Somewhere Nowhere.

During the party, everyone hit the dance floor while enjoying BODY Vodka cocktails. Throughout the space, Rimmel London and Ryde‘s newest launches were arranged for guests to touch up and stay energized. Naturally, both were in the party’s gift bags, along with Sally Hansen’s latest press-ons. The special night culminated in a massive “Happy birthday” sing-along and emotional speech by Cancel, complete with a birthday cake in his signature all-black palette.

But that’s not all: The young publicist’s glitzy soirée at the Renaissance New York Chelsea Hotel also celebrated the third anniversary of his agency, Cancel Communications. The event additionally launched its new sister production company, Cancel Creative, which will focus on creating social-first photo and video content for brands, talent, and publications starting this spring.
“I’m 30,” Cancel said to the crowd, “I know most of you thought I was 23! We’re doing this all in one. I hope you guys have fun, period. It’ll be a great time—Stay, live, sliv, and thank you for coming!”
