Cape Town – The Obamas threw a huge star-studded farewell party at the White House on Friday night.

And by the looks of all the pictures from the night, it was one huge spectacular that simply couldn’t be missed!

While no official guest list was issued, celebrity guests included, Nick Jonas, Jay Pharoah, Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, Kelly Rowland and her husband Tim Witherspoon, rapper Wale and La La Anthony.

But wait there’s more... Chance the Rapper, Al Sharpton, Usher, Jordin Sparks, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, who according to a journo for CNN arrived in a cab, were also there.

According to E! News Harvey Weinstein, Anna Wintour, Magic Johnson, Chris Rock, Stevie Wonder, Lena Dunham, Bruce Springsteen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tracy Ellis Ross, Steve Harvey, Paul McCartney, Tyler Perry, Jon Hamm, Sarah Jessica Parker, Marc Anthony and Oprah Winfrey also made an appearance.

The Washington Post reported Beyoncé, Jay Z and JJ Abrams would also be there.

Clearly the extravaganza was bigger than a regular red carpet event and while no official photos have been released by the White House, E! News reports pics shared on social media by all it’s attendees would be paid for by Barack and Michelle themselves.
