Chrissy Teigen & John Legend Throw a Squid‑Game‑Style Bash That Turns Heads
Los Angeles buzzed this weekend as the celebrity power couple, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, staged a Squid‑Game‑themed party that felt straight out of a Netflix set. Think big‑crowd, green tracksuits, glitter‑piled piggy banks, and a whole bunch of people twirling around in fright‑fitting gear.
Dress Code Deets
- Chrissy – A creepy doll look that made the “South Korean drama” vibes pop.
- John – A VIP mask, bathrobe combo that screams “rich, but still here to play.”
- Guests – From Shay Mitchell (yes, the Pretty Little Liars star) to Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), everyone embraced the iconic green.
Games on the Table
The menu was a mix of childhood classics, but with a twist:
- Musical chairs
- Hide and seek (because who doesn’t want to be a hiding champ?)
- Pin the tail on the donkey – an “absolutely lethal backdrop” for those ready to get silly.
Prizes Worth More Than a Netflix Subscription
For those who survived the fray, the stakes were high: air tickets to Napa Valley, plus a dinner for two at the Michelin‑starred French Laundry.
Social Media Hype
After the party, Teigen posted a picture of herself on a toilet (yes, you heard that right!) in full Squid‑Game costume. There’s a caption that reads, “What an absolutely epic night. My dream came true of watching my friends fight to the death.” Because what better way to celebrate than a bit of mock horror?
Mixed Reactions
The comments were a toss‑up of awe and backlash. Some gushed over the “unbelievable attention to detail,” while others said the event felt tone‑deaf for a millionaire. Phrases on the thread included:
- “This is so beyond tone deaf as a millionaire to invite your rich friends over and reenact Squid Game, which is rooted in the violence of capitalism,”
- “Why do rich people always miss the whole entire point?”
- “This is amazing and also the most nonsensical rich person s* I’ve ever seen.”
Defenders Speak Up
Throwing a party from a global hit and wearing the iconic dress? Some fans wrote back, “How many regular people are out there dressing up and playing game nights? Is it really that controversial?” They were quick to dismiss the criticism as a misunderstanding of what a simple, fun night of games should be.
Ultimately, the raucous, green‑tracksuit party left everyone questioning where the line between play and parody ends — and whether our elites can, or should, replicate pop culture phenomena at massive parties.
