In a star-studded event that took place in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, Beyonce unveiled her latest concert video, Renaissance, on a grand scale.
The film was showcased at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, following a glamorous chrome carpet premiere with a cozy opulence dress code.
Attendees had the opportunity to capture pictures on the flashy step and repeat, which displayed artwork from Renaissance films, as well as engage in various photo opportunities, including standing beside Beyonce’s famous silver horse.
Among the stars who graced the carpet were Janelle Monáe, Issa Rae, Lizzo, Halle and Chloe Bailey, Lupita Nyong’o, Tyler Perry, Nisi Nash-Betts, Gabrielle Union, Ava DuVernay, Lena Waithe, Kris Jenner, Robin Thede, Jeremy Pope, Laverne Cox, Marcel Martin, Coco Jones, Beyonce dancers, Lit Twins, and even Tina and Matthew Knowles made an appearance.
Once registered, guests were escorted into the theater where their phones were securely stored.
The Hollywood heavyweights eagerly gathered at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills to catch a glimpse of the movie based on the pop icon’s record-breaking Renaissance tour this summer.
However, one notable absence was Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
According to a close insider to Lizzo, Meghan has been permanently blacklisted due to her previous attempts to steal the spotlight from Beyonce during her concerts by staging PR photos.
Meghan took advantage of the events to approach prominent Hollywood figures, which didn’t sit well with the host.
The invitation to the premiere was shrouded in mystery, with guests receiving it just 24 hours prior and being sent to a decoy location beforehand.
Meghan’s friend Tyler Perry managed to attend, but he couldn’t secure a ticket for her.
Kris Jenner, who recently posed with Meghan’s mother, was also present.
Markle would have given anything to be there.
Although the event showcased a diverse range of attendees, Meghan’s exclusion from the A-list crowd has left her feeling isolated.
A-list creatives of color like Ava DuVernay and Issa Rae were in attendance, demonstrating the strong presence of Black Hollywood.
Even Oprah, who is the godfather of Tyler Perry’s child, couldn’t score an invite for Meghan.
It seems she can’t rely on her own people to embrace her.
While Meghan desired to be present, she also recognized that she couldn’t deceive this crowd like she did with Queen B.
They would have ridiculed her and completely ignored her presence, leaving her feeling uncomfortable and awkward.
Meghan has never truly associated herself with the colored community, and now there seems to be no community that wants her.
This serves as a lesson to other celebrities, highlighting the importance of not attaching oneself to someone before knowing their true intentions.
During the premiere, Beyonce and Jay-Z posed in front of a fabricated portrait of Meghan.
Despite their efforts, they were left bewildered by the events surrounding the Lion King premiere and the subsequent release of text messages in a mockumentary.
It is evident that the couples are currently estranged, as Meghan would have received a warm invitation from Beyonce to her recent concerts if they were still on good terms.
Instead, Meghan found herself dancing robotically and forced into photos with Kerry Washington and Kelly Rowland.
The premiere of Renaissance, a film by Beyonce, follows the recent trailer release that teased her reunion with former Destiny’s Child members.
Around 40 seconds into the clip, fans catch a glimpse of Beyonce and Kelly Rowland reuniting with Destiny’s Child collaborators, Lea Tavis Robertson and LaToya Luckett.
Notably, Taylor Swift, who surprised fans by attending the world premiere of Beyonce’s era tour at The Grove in mid-October, was absent from Saturday’s premiere as she continues her tour in Brazil.
In conclusion, Beyonce’s Renaissance concert film premiere was a star-studded affair that left Meghan Markle excluded and isolated from the A-list crowd.
