According to sources reported by Page Six, invitations to Hollywood's most anticipated party started arriving in stars' mailboxes this week. Vanity Fair is set to host its 30th anniversary Oscar party after the Academy Awards on March 10, and rumor has it that this year's party will be extra special to mark the milestone. The coveted invitations would this time feature a particularly inspired design. The event, known as the “Black Tie Bash,” will take place at the Wallace and Berg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills and will once again be chaired by Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones.
The evening will begin with a VIP dinner followed by a screening evening. While the guest list remains top secret, it is expected to include a mix of big screen talent, powerhouse actors, pop stars, tech gurus and other notable names of the moment. Expected attendees include party scene regulars like Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Robert Downey Jr., Annette Bening, Jodie Foster and Martin Scorsese, as well as newcomers like Lily Gladstone and Sandra Bullock. The event has evolved considerably since its inception in 1994, when only 100 guests would have participated.
However, controversy arises when sources reveal that Meghan Markle, under her new brand 'Sussex', tried to get a ticket to the event but was rebuffed. Rumors suggest that Markle's association with her new brand and reports that she was dropped by WME, her agency, may have contributed to the rejection. Some believe Markle's presence could overshadow the event, raising concerns about the professional implications of those associated with her.
This revelation comes as Markle is reportedly looking forward to becoming friends with pop star Taylor Swift, who she admires for her personal marketing strategies. While Markle attended a Swift concert in Los Angeles, her interest in becoming friends with Swift seems obvious. However, comparisons are drawn between Markle's aspirations and Swift's career trajectory, with skepticism over whether Swift would prioritize Markle over other relationships.
