And that's a wrap for convention season! After covering the RNC in Tampa, it's been a whirlwind week at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC. We've talked with a variety of people, attended political soirees, and watched Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, and President Barack Obama deliver rousing speeches to the party's faithful at the convention. To see what we've been up to at the DNC, check out our pics of the celebrities we interviewed, the parties we attended, and other behind-the-scenes shots now. And don't forget to follow TrèsSugar on Instagram.

After President Clinton's speech on Wednesday night, some convention-goers enjoyed a party on the top of the Ritz, where synchronized swimmers entertained the guests.

Annie had a shoe-off with Will.i.am, who was sporting some spiked Louboutins.

This Starbucks line was dangerously long. At least there was caffeine at the end.
