Meghan found herself uninvited from the exclusive league of Chris Jenner and Lauren Sanchez at the Vanity Fair Oscars bash.
As the last Oscar statuettes were handed out at the 2024 ceremony, the real celebration ignited at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. This glamorous affair, hosted by VF Editor-in-Chief Rika Jones, unfolded into the early hours of Monday, where the crème de la crème of film, television, sports, business, and beyond gathered to revel in the year's cinematic achievements.
The star-studded event was a melting pot of Hollywood's elite, with A-listers mingling, indulging in the traditional late-night In-N-Out Burger feast, and posing for Mark Seliger's iconic portrait collection. Rumor had it that merely arriving with an Oscar in hand granted entry, but once inside, the unpredictability of celebrity encounters reigned supreme. Some forged new friendships, while others merely brushed shoulders before fading into obscurity.
Among the attendees were luminaries like Kim Kardashian and Matt Damon, adding to the electric atmosphere of the party. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez graced the event alongside Kim Kardashian, Lenny Kravitz, and more, held at the illustrious Wallace Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California. Sanchez, resplendent in a crimson lever kuchu gown, dubbed the evening "magical" in a post on Instagram, offering a glimpse behind the scenes of her luxurious attire.
Notably absent from the festivities were Megan Markle and Prince Harry, despite their earlier departure from Texas. Sources revealed that even the presence of WME Agency CEO Ari Emanuel and his wife couldn't secure tickets for Megan. This snub added to the frustration of Megan, who had harbored dreams of attending a major awards show her entire life. Trevor, her ex-husband, received invitations in the past, leaving Megan to ponder her exclusion from the coveted guest list.
Speculation swirled about Megan's perceived unpopularity and her purported tendency to drain the joy from any event she attends. Critics lamented her absence, contrasting it with the ubiquity of the Kardashian clan, who effortlessly secured invites thanks to their multifaceted empire. Despite her Netflix deals and celebrity status, Megan's inability to secure an invite underscored deeper animosities within the Hollywood elite.
