The Vanity Fair Oscar party, renowned as the hottest ticket in Hollywood for two decades, brings together luminaries from film, music, business, tech, politics, sports, and more on Oscars night. This exclusive event, highlighted by the attendance of major winners, supports the Film Foundation through its proceeds. Despite its reputation as the most exclusive Hollywood bash of the year, the true allure of the Vanity Fair Oscar party remains elusive until one experiences it firsthand.
Scheduled for Sunday, March 11, 2024, the Vanity Fair Oscar party has become the target of Meghan's persistent efforts to secure tickets. However, reports suggest that her demands, including an unusually lengthy red carpet slot and extra tickets for associates and publicists, surpass even the grandest requests made by A-list celebrities over the years. Speculation surrounds the possibility that Meghan's status as the Duchess of Sussex may contribute to her bold demands.
Contrary to the buzz, Meghan's husband, Prince Harry, is rumored to have no interest in attending the event. Questions arise about the relevance of Meghan's presence, given her lack of current projects, industry connections, and even appropriate attire – a point emphasized by her appearance at a previous Vanity Fair event with wrinkled clothing. Notably, this invitation pertains to the Vanity Fair Afterparty and not the actual Academy Awards ceremony, where seating is limited and exclusive to nominees.
While the Vanity Fair Afterparty holds prestige and demands around half a million dollars for advertisers to gain entry, Meghan's additional requests for bodyguards and publicists pose challenges, as celebrities typically attend without such entourages. Elton John's renowned Oscars after-party, a significant annual fundraiser for his AIDS Foundation, has consistently drawn A-listers, yet Meghan and Harry have never attended.
Some wonder why Meghan hasn't sought tickets to this celebrated event, especially considering their absence from award shows and after-parties since 2020. This four-year hiatus from industry appearances raises questions about their engagement with the entertainment world, particularly when compared to other British actors who prefer Elton John's party over Vanity Fair's.
