InStyle invited some of our closest friends—Nikki Reed, Emilie de Ravin, Sophia Bush, Malin Akerman, and Erin Wasson included—to toast to the season at our annual Summer Soiree last night, held the London Hotel Rooftop in Los Angeles. "It is lovely," Bush said of the atmosphere, which included a Gordon Ramsey-designed menu, Starbucks-infused drinks, and a Ben & Jerry's ice cream bar. "I mean, what can I get my hands on first? I try it all!" But there was something she had to do first: "I have a couple girlfriends [here] that I am going to hug. That is always the priority, hug the people I like." Like Bush, the evening acted as a catch-up session, with the stars reminiscing about the days and nights that made summer 2012 unforgettable. Click through the gallery to see who else attended, and read about some of their favorite moments of this scorching season.
