Radhika Jones Shakes Up Vanity Fair Oscar Bash Guest List, Excludes Meghan Markle

Hollywood's most anticipated party is just around the corner, and it seems there's a bit of drama brewing.

Radhika Jones, the editor of Vanity Fair, has reportedly removed Meghan Markle from the guest list for the magazine's star-studded Oscar bash.

This year's event marks the 30th anniversary of the Vanity Fair Oscar party, which will take place on March 10, following the Academy Awards.

Sources suggest that this milestone celebration will have an extra special vibe, complete with uniquely designed invitations.

The black-tie affair will be held at the Wallace Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.

As always, Radhika Jones will take charge, ensuring that the event lives up to its glamorous reputation.

Before the main event, there will be a VIP dinner and viewing party, setting the stage for an unforgettable night filled with Hollywood's elite.

The guest list remains a closely guarded secret, but excitement is already building over who will make the cut.

Among the usual suspects expected to attend are big names like Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, and Robert Downey Jr.

These stars have become regulars at the Vanity Fair party over the years.

New faces will also grace the event, including nominees like Lily Gladstone and Sandra Huller, adding a fresh energy to the gathering.

Reflecting on the party's rich history, it's hard to believe it all started back in 1994 at Morton's with just 100 guests.

Back then, attendees included notable figures such as Donald Sutherland and Nancy Reagan.

Fast forward to today, and the Vanity Fair Oscar party is now one of the most sought-after invitations in Hollywood, attracting a diverse mix of talent and influential personalities.

However, it seems Meghan Markle's attempts to secure an invite have fallen flat.

According to insiders, her company recently reached out to Radhika Jones, seeking a ticket for the Duchess.

Unfortunately for Meghan, her request was declined.

Speculation suggests that Meghan's representation at WME has changed, and they did not advocate for her attendance this time around.

Instead, she allegedly used her new brand, Sussex, to make her appeal.

The buzz around Meghan's exclusion raises eyebrows, especially considering her previous attempts to leverage her royal status for fame.

Many in the industry seem to believe that being associated with Meghan could be detrimental to their careers.

A source noted that genuine stars might hesitate to be photographed alongside her, fearing it could tarnish their own reputations.

Adding to the intrigue, Meghan and Harry's penchant for bringing their own security detail to events has been met with skepticism.

The couple's desire to maintain an air of exclusivity may not resonate well at a party where everyone is considered a VIP.

Observers suggest that their presence could come off as desperate rather than dignified, further fueling the perception of their status.

In a twist of fate, Meghan's aspirations to connect with megastar Taylor Swift have also surfaced.

According to royal commentators, Meghan is eager to form a friendship with the “Cruel Summer” singer, admiring her marketing prowess.

Reports indicate that Meghan even extended an invitation to Swift to appear on her podcast, “Archetypes,” though Swift never took her up on the offer.

Meghan's attendance at a recent Taylor Swift concert in Los Angeles also caught media attention.

Insiders claim that she made sure to let gossip outlets know about her presence, indicating her desire to stay relevant in the public eye.
