Gabby Thomas + Sarah Natsumi Moore/Minted Welcome to Cosmo Bachelorettes , a column that peeks inside some of the coolest bachelorette parties around the world, hosted by some of the chicest people on the planet. We get up close and personal by going deep with the bride-to-be, revealing behind-the-scenes secrets and all the candid photos you won’t see on Instagram.
Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas is taking her final lap as a single woman. At the end of the month, she’ll marry her fiancé Spencer McManes , but before she says “I do,” the four-time gold medalist had to round up all her girls for one last hurrah: her bachelorette party, themed Gabby’s Last Rodeo.
It only made sense then that the celebration took place in Austin, Texas. Gabby and many of her bridesmaids live in the area, but practicalities aside, the city feels like home. “I love living here and I love the city, so there was no better place to have it,” she says. “It felt like the perfect place to celebrate this next stage of my life.”
The entire weekend was “this elevated Western vibe,” she says, “so everything was warm browns and creams, and then we added just a touch of Western charm.”
The first night was kicked off with a welcome event co-hosted by pajama brand Revelry and design company Minted that included a spritz bar, oyster bar, and a glam station for everyone to get ready. Afterward, the group went to a Golden Hour–themed dinner.
After dinner, the ladies hit the town and headed to Devil May Care and Mayfair, two of Gabby’s favorite places in Austin. “It was is such a great surprise because Leon Thomas was actually performing at Mayfair! He brought me up on stage—it was so fun. He’s one of my favorite artists.”
The second day of the trip started with a slow morning then eased into a boat day. After time on the water, Gabby and her girls came back to their Airbnb and had a hibachi dinner and played games. “It was really just about relaxing and just spending time together,” says Gabby.
Gabby credits both her maid of honor and Minted for her bachelorette weekend turning out “exactly how I wanted it to be.”
“I’m so grateful for [my maid of honor] and the Minted concierge team because everything was just absolutely seamless,” she says. “I could focus on the celebration and the friendships rather than getting stressed out about all the small details.”
