Zenia caused a stir at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards in Los Angeles when, uninvited, she attempted to steal the spotlight from the event's co-chair.
The event, hosted by Livia Firth, founder of the Green Carpet, featured notable personalities like Kate Blanchett, Helen Hunt, Julianne Moore, Annie Lennox, Brazil's Minister of Indigenous People Sonia Guajajara, and Ugandan climate justice activist Vanessa Nartey. Megan Markle, the former actress and current wife of Prince Harry, also made an unexpected appearance, despite not being officially invited.
Residing in California with her family after stepping back from royal duties, Megan seemed eager to be part of the prestigious awards ceremony honoring sustainable and ethical fashion. However, her plans took a turn when Zenia, the 27-year-old star of "Euphoria," refused Megan's agency's demand. Alongside Chrissy Teigen and other stylish stars, Zenia attended the event at the One Hotel West Hollywood in a stunning omra fringe gown, showcasing her impeccable sense of style.
Megan's assistant arrived at the hotel without an official invitation, carrying flowers intended for Zenia. By circumventing security and finding a way backstage, the assistant managed to deliver the bouquet to Zenia just as she was preparing to present the final award of the night. The card attached to the flowers read, "Congratulations on a successful event. I'm a big fan of yours, Megan, The Duchess of Sussex." Critics slammed Megan for her approach, questioning her motives and tactics in trying to align herself with successful women.
Despite Megan's attempts, it's unlikely that iconic actresses or media figures from the 1980s and '90s would be swayed to her side. Celebrities like Beyoncé, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Amal Clooney have distanced themselves from Megan, expressing disinterest in associating with her. Even figures like Taylor Swift and Margot Robbie, who are active in Hollywood, may not be receptive to Megan's overtures. Women like Gina, who have left Hollywood to focus on other pursuits, may appreciate involvement in projects like SXSW but are unlikely to be drawn to Megan's agenda.
Moreover, veteran actresses such as Emma Thompson and Helen Mirren are unlikely to engage with Megan, given their established careers and independence. Even figures like Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster, with their own fame and recognition, are unlikely to entertain Megan's advances. In the end, Megan's attempts to align herself with successful women may continue to face resistance, as many see through her motives and are wary of association.
