Owen Thiele Snuck In A Nap Before Armani’s L.A. Perfume Launch

So that’s why Venice Beach was overlaid with a Mexico filter.

On May 22, L.A.’s finest — including Owen Thiele, Benito Skinner, Wally Baram, and Barbie Ferreira — gathered in a mod orange space to fête the launch of Emporio Armani’s Stronger With You parfum. But before the Overcompensating actor and In Your Dreams podcast host took in a surprise Benson Boone gig and Mau P’s and Channel Tres’ DJ sets, he turned up the Sabrina Carpenter, snuck a catnap in the makeup chair, and got sprayed to the gods, in his own words. (You’ll soon see that he did emerge remarkably fresh-faced, especially considering how he also celebrated pal Emma Chamberlain’s birthday on the same night.)

Below, we joined Thiele as he got ready for the evening with a full face of Armani Beauty — and a touch of memory recovery.

“Almost ready!”

“The perfect shade.”

“I love the feeling of getting my makeup done... it all started at Sephora at age 8.”

“I’m napping shhhh.”

“You can’t tell, but I was blasting Sabrina Carpenter.”

“Thank God for Miriam.”

“If I still used my Facebook, this would be my profile pic.”

“Sprayed to the gods.”

“I swear by Armani’s Luminous Silk foundation.”

“She’s snatching me.”

“I really do feel... Stronger With You.”
