Barack and Michelle Obama threw a star-studded farewell party on Friday night -- and if that does't make you jealous enough, guests allegedly stayed at the White House until 4 a.m. hanging out and eating snacks.

While no official photos were released from the event, guests including (inhale) Nick Jonas, Tom Hanks, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Paul McCartney, George and Amal Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Rock, George Lucas, David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, Will Packer, Robert DeNiro, Jay Pharoah, Steven Spielberg, Stevie Wonder, Jason Sudeikis, Chance the Rapper, Gabby Giffords, Olivia Wilde, Anna Wintour, Usher, Jordin Sparks, Jon Hamm, Tracee Ellis Ross, and a bunch of other people on your "if you could have dinner with anyone" list.

Solange Knowles performed. Meryl Streep rolled up in a cab. It was essentially a perfect event.

"Was truly the ultimate, ultimate honor," Knowles wrote on Instagram. "Can't even put into words ... We will miss your excellence, your grace and the phenomenal legacy you have let us all share."

According to E! News, the president and First Lady paid for the party themselves -- as they usually do for private events.

Gaze upon these delightful photos and try not to get too jealous.
