Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Nina Dobrev celebrated her 28th birthday at a La La Land-themed party over the weekend.

The Vampire Diaries alum rang in the occasion with professional dancers Derek and Julianne Hough, actors Aaron Paul and Glen Powell, and other friends at a bowling alley Saturday in Los Angeles.

Dobrev and her guests wore classic, Old Hollywood-inspired outfits as a nod to La La Land. Derek and Julianne Hough went all out by dressing up as Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's characters from the movie.

"La la land!!! @juleshough is the modern day Ginger Rodgers. Pure talent. @ninadobrev Birthday!!! #goldenage #family #talent," Derek captioned a photo of himself and Julianne on Instagram.

"City of stars #lalaland #ninasthemedbirthdayparty #brotherfromthesamemother #yellowlexi," Julianne added on her own account.

Dobrev herself shared several pictures from the bash, including a group photo of herself with the Houghs and Paul. She also posted a snapshot of herself and Powell mimicking a scene from La La Land.

"We went back in time. Celebrated my birthday and the beautiful city we love and live in. #LALALAND," she wrote.
