01:18social media's hottest stars walked the red carpet at THR's Creators A-List Party, presented
01:23by UTA. Creators have huge audiences in their own right. It's great to see folks like the Hollywood

01:33Charli D'Amelio, who's also the cover star of our Creators issue. On the set of her cover shoot,
01:38she opened up about growing up online and how she's doing now. I lived so much of my early career

01:48I
01:48was getting these opportunities. I should be so proud of myself. Sacha Baron Cohen also graces the
