The GQ Men of the Year Awards, known for its star-studded guest list, is set to make a comeback on November 15, 2023, in London.
This highly anticipated event brings together icons, superstars, and influential figures from various fields such as film, music, sports, TV, books, politics, and more.
Previous attendees have included Madonna, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Amy Schumer, Cara Delevingne, and many others who have left their mark.
However, it seems that Meghan Markle won’t be gracing the red carpet at this year’s GQ party.
Despite her PR machine churning out information about her outstanding charity work, her name was noticeably absent from the list of nominees.
It appears that Meghan’s attempt to secure herself an award has been thwarted.
It’s worth noting that while women have been recognized in certain categories in the past, the focus of the GQ Men of the Year Awards has traditionally been on men.
Meghan’s connection to GQ through her friendship with Vogue’s editor-in-chief, who is affiliated with Conde Nast, has raised eyebrows.
But let’s be honest, Meghan and Harry can’t simply expect to buy themselves an award or waltz into the UK without facing potential backlash.
Rumors suggest they might even receive boos if they dare show their faces.
Interestingly, despite missing out on the London event, Meghan is reportedly trying to secure tickets to attend GQ’s Annual Men of the Year party in Los Angeles.
However, the Kardashians seem to be throwing a wrench into her plans.
According to GQ magazine, Kim Kardashian, Travis Scott, and Tom Ford are the illustrious hosts of the Los Angeles party, scheduled for November 16, just a day after the London soiree.
This event, celebrating GQ’s 28th anniversary issue, is expected to bring together influential figures from the fashion, entertainment, and sports industries in Los Angeles.
Kim Kardashian, known as the queen of reality TV, has openly admitted her dislike for hosting parties.
Hence, having co-hosts like Travis Scott and Tom Ford is a relief for her.
However, it seems that both Kim Kardashian and Tom Ford are opposed to Meghan’s presence at their event.
They fear that her actions might overshadow the festivities they have planned.
Despite not being officially invited, there are rumors that Meghan might be determined to crash the party by purchasing a ticket.
However, these tickets come at a steep price.
General admission costs £4,999 plus VAT per person, while the full red carpet package, complete with glitz and glamour, will set you back £5,999 plus VAT per person.
And if you want the paparazzi experience, be prepared to pay an additional £1,999 plus VAT.
If Meghan manages to secure a ticket, she could potentially strut down the red carpet with a troupe of paparazzi capturing her every move.
The big question, though, is how the A-listers in attendance would react to her presence.
While Meghan and Harry may not be able to buy themselves an award in the UK, they might succeed in grabbing a quick photo-op on the red carpet before making a swift exit.
After all, it’s unlikely that A-listers would give her much attention.
In conclusion, Tom Ford’s decision to keep Meghan out of the GQ 2023 party in London sends a clear message.
Despite her attempts to secure recognition, it seems that Meghan will have to find another way to make her mark in the world of awards and events.
Whether she manages to attend the Los Angeles party remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – Meghan and Harry’s presence continues to generate buzz and speculation wherever they go.
