Cleo, who is engaged to Hollywood figure Simon Kinberg, gathered with a close-knit group of fellow Virgos, including notable names like Cameron Diaz, Sofia Richie, and Rachel Zoe. The absence of Meghan Markle, especially given her recent brunch photo alongside Cleo, became a topic of discussion, and some mocked her for not securing an invitation to the birthday party.
Nicole Richie, known as the daughter of Lionel Richie and a former best friend of Paris Hilton, has had a history in reality TV. Interestingly, she and Cameron Diaz are sister-in-laws. While Meghan had mentioned meeting Cameron at a sushi place in the past, it remains unclear whether her non-invitation was related to any previous incidents.
Cleo Wade, an accomplished author, poet, and activist, is often seen at the forefront of Fashion Week events. She is engaged to Simon Kinberg, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker known for his work on scripts like X-Men and productions like Deadpool and The Martian. Cleo shares some similarities with Meghan but seems to navigate the public sphere with more finesse.
Before her engagement to Simon, Cleo had a two-year relationship with Senator Cory Booker, who is often considered a future presidential candidate. With 779,000 Instagram followers and a TED Talk under her belt, Cleo has also worked as a model for American Eagle's Aerie campaign and enjoys a dedicated fan base.
Notably, Meghan Markle expressed interest in playing the role of Angelina Jolie in a proposed reboot of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith series. However, scriptwriter Simon Kinberg, who happens to be Cleo's fiance, did not consider Meghan suitable for the part. Sources suggest that Kinberg believed Meghan lacked the necessary flexibility for the role, and her image and brand did not align with the film's requirements.
Despite Cleo Wade's prior friendship with Meghan, recent actions like removing her name tag from a photo celebrating Meghan's birthday have indicated potential strain in their relationship. Furthermore, Meghan's absence from Cleo's recent birthday celebration suggests that there may be more to the story behind Meghan's exclusion than meets the eye.
In other news, Meghan Markle's fashion choices have come under scrutiny, with observations about her changing style following the Invictus Games. Some speculate whether this shift in fashion is part of an effort to broaden her mass-market appeal and enter the entrepreneurial world. Meghan has also recently signed with Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel of WME, indicating potential changes in her public image and brand strategy.
