LuLaRoe founder DeAnne Stidham kicked off her 60th birthday with a masquerade-themed party at Mission Inn and Spa in Riverside, California.

Partygoers wielded oversized cardboard caricatures of Stidham's smiling face.

The event at the historic landmark came about as LuLaRoe faces a number of lawsuits.

LuLaRoe founder DeAnne Stidham marked her 60th birthday with a masquerade soiree at a historic hotel, even as her multilevel-marketing company fends off multiple lawsuits.

The masquerade-themed event took place at Mission Inn Hotel and Spa in Riverside, California, on Saturday evening, according to multiple Instagram posts reviewed by Business Insider. Guests included loved ones and LuLaRoe retailers.

Stidham launched the multilevel-marketing retail empire with her husband, Mark Stidham, in 2015. Recently, the company was slapped with lawsuits from its former clothing supplier and the state of Washington.

The Mission Inn Hotel and Spa, a Mission Revival Style landmark, has hosted US presidents, Hollywood stars, and luminaries, including Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller, and Albert Einstein, over the decades. According to the award-winning inn's website, rooms start at $199 a night.

A private party for about 40 guests on a Saturday evening starts at $5,000 at the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa. The same event with 100 guests starts at $10,000, but the price might vary depending on food and beverage choices, audiovisual services, and decor options.

It's unclear how many guests attended Stidham's event. LuLaRoe did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment. Business Insider reviewed Instagram posts from the event to glean a number of details of what occurred at Stidham's birthday bash.

Social-media posts depict a flock of revelers congregating in the inn's courtyard, with their faces disguised by feathered and bejeweled masks. Some held oversized caricatures of Stidham's smiling face. Above the crowd, acrobats twisted on strands of blue silk.

Stidham posed for a few selfies with guests, sporting a shawl dripping in gold beads, a loopy silver mask, and matching facial art, according to photos reviewed by Business Insider.

Other partygoers documented the night by modeling before the on-site chapel altar — gilded with 18-karat gold leaf — or in the courtyard, beside a small statue of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of merchants. These guests posted the results of their photo shoots on Instagram.

Business Insider reviewed one guest's picture of a deep-pink cake, bedecked with a carnival mask of its own and a sparkling topper that read "Sixty."

Stidham was also regaled with an approximately seven-minute dance routine performed by her children and their spouses, according to a video viewed by Business Insider. The group busted a move to the musical stylings of the Carpenters, Elton John, Abba, Cyndi Lauper, Gloria Estefan, La Bouche, Basia, Ace of Base, Montell Jordan, Pharrell Williams, and Lee Greenwood.

Stidham even got up to join her family when 50 Cent's "In Da Club" came on.

"Oh my gosh," Stidham said at the conclusion of the performance, according to a video reviewed by Business Insider. "I can't believe it. Whose fault was this?"

The celebration wasn't confined to the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa, however.

On Instagram, LuLaRoe retailers also posted photos of themselves wearing red — Stidham's favorite color — marked with the hashtags #llrbirthdaysquad and #llrsquadlife in honor of the founder.

"On Sunday we wear red to honor the queen of LuLaRoe," read one post, which Stidham subsequently shared on her Instagram story.

The founder also got in on the trend, filming an Instagram Live video in her office on Sunday. The workspace had been decorated in pink, white, and gold balloons and streamers.

"I guess that's what we have to do, we have to celebrate the day," she said, according to a video reviewed by Business Insider. "Look at this. I'm not kidding you these guys, they put a lot of work into this. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my amazing people here at the office."

On January 28, the company posted a birthday message to its founder on Instagram: "Each and everyday you strive to make everyone feel loved and appreciated."

Happy Happy HAPPY birthday to the one and only @deannelularoe ! Each and everyday you strive to make everyone feel loved and appreciated. We wish you the best and hope you have a phenomenal day. 🎉❤️🥳🎁 A post shared by LuLaRoe (@lularoe) on Jan 27, 2019 at 11:43am PST Jan 27, 2019 at 11:43am PST

The birthday celebration came days after Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit against LuLaRoe, alleging that the company is an illegal "pyramid scheme." LuLaRoe's longtime manufacturer, Providence Industries, is also suing the company for $63 million in damages, alleging the company consistently failed to pay its debts. LuLaRoe has denied the claims in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit from Providence Industries also alleged that LuLaRoe, the Stidhams, and their associates have created a web of shell companies in order to protect their high-value assets, including a Wyoming ranch worth more than $7 million, luxury Koenigsegg cars, and a Gulfstream jet.

Business Insider spoke with multiple former LuLaRoe retailers who have said they've been waiting months to receive thousands of dollars in refunds from the company.
