**Beyoncé Snubs Meghan for A-List Afterparty**
Beyoncé's recent concert in Los Angeles turned into a star-studded affair, with Meghan Markle making waves by attending alongside Kerry Washington and Kelly Rowland.
The Duchess of Sussex seemed to be making a statement about her public image, but things took an unexpected turn when Beyoncé refused a photo opportunity with her and left early to host an exclusive afterparty.
The trio, consisting of Meghan, Kerry, and Kelly, made a striking entrance at the Sophie Stadium, all dressed in stunning silver fashion outfits as requested by Beyoncé.
Meghan opted for a black sleeveless top paired with a sparkly silver pencil skirt, while Kelly rocked a black latex playsuit with silver makeup.
Kerry went for a more laid-back vibe in a black dress with sequin detailing.
Photographer Kevin Mazur captured several moments of Meghan posing with Kerry and Kelly, but sources revealed that Meghan was only given five minutes for these photo ops before things turned frosty.
Despite attending the concert's opening night, Meghan seemed to miss the mark once again as she failed to capture the attention of the event's star attraction, Beyoncé.
Beyoncé's team cited security concerns as the reason for denying Meghan's request for photos, leaving the Duchess disappointed.
To make matters worse, Beyoncé departed early to prepare for her lavish afterparty, where Meghan found herself excluded from the guest list among other A-list celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid, and Megan Fox.
The exclusive afterparty, described as one of the most glamorous events of the year, boasted a guest list featuring single-name celebrities like Drake, Zendaya, Lizzo, and Adele.
Beyoncé celebrated her birthday at a luxurious five-star hotel in Bel Air, with the party attracting the crème de la crème of Hollywood.
During the concert, Meghan was seen enjoying herself on the dance floor, while Prince Harry appeared distant and engrossed in his phone from their private box.
This appearance marked a pivotal moment for Meghan as she tries to reconnect with Hollywood's elite after facing challenges following their departure from Spotify and criticism over their post-royal careers.
The Monday night event drew a plethora of celebrities, including Khloé and Kim Kardashian, alongside Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez.
Actresses Francais Razor and Yara Shahidi, model Hailey Bieber, singer Lizzo, and comedian Chris Rock were also among the attendees, showcasing the star-studded nature of the evening.
Meghan's efforts to mingle with the stars reflect her ongoing quest to establish herself within the entertainment industry after stepping down as senior working royals.
As she navigates the complexities of Hollywood's social scene, her appearance at Beyoncé's concert signifies a strategic move towards gaining favor with the A-list crowd, despite the challenges and setbacks she has faced in recent months.
