March 23, 2009 -- (Miami Beach, FL) -- Jessica Szohr, the stunning actress from the hit CW series Gossip Girl and Niche Media's Ocean Drive magazine March issue cover star was toasted at a chic cocktail party celebrating her cover at Sunset Lounge at MONDRIAN on Saturday, March 21, 2009.
The gorgeous brunette flew into Miami on Saturday morning with boyfriend and co-star Ed Westwick and spent the day relaxing poolside at Mondrian. Later that evening, dressed head to toe in Dolce & Gabbana, the actress enjoyed dinner with friends at Asia de Cuba before heading over to Sunset Lounge to celebrate her cover on the March issue of Ocean Drive. On arrival Jessica posed for countless pictures in front of her cover, even taking the time to stage a mock photo shoot with two teenage fans. When asked in an interview about a love interest, Jessica was coy; yet, inside the event, she spent the evening flirting and dancing with Westwick.
The two CW stars enjoyed Bombay Sapphire cocktails and tequila while partying with friends from New York, including hip hop mogul Damon Dash and Niche Media's Jason and Haley Binn. During the event guests were treated to an impromptu spin session when Westwick, who requested rock and roll songs all evening, hopped in the booth with the resident DJ. Westwick managed to get the entire room out on the dance floor before wrapping the party up and heading back to his room with Jessica for the night.
