For the past several years Refinery 29 has created a dreamlike exhibit during New York Fashion Week called 29Rooms.

Considering the event takes place during NYFW, it makes sense that several celebrities made an appearance at this stylish funhouse, including Solange and Adrian Grenier.

Although the event is currently sold out, you can still win free tickets by signing up on the 29Rooms website. If you can’t make the September dates (8th-11th) there’s an opportunity to see the exhibit again in December! The catch? It’ll in Los Angeles. But if you can turn it into a little vacation, why not?
