CFDA Awards Chairman Snubs Meghan Markle While Honoring Serena Williams as Fashion Icon

The CFDA Fashion Awards held at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday night saw a star-studded guest list, with A-listers and Hollywood stars making glamorous arrivals.

However, one notable absence from the event was Meghan Markle, who did not receive an invite while her close friend Serena Williams was in attendance.

This snub is sure to cause some tension, especially considering the fact that Serena received the prestigious fashion icon prize.

Inside the glitzy affair, the atmosphere was electric as the guests socialized and enjoyed a delicious meal during the ceremony.

Among the star-studded attendees were Demi Moore, Naomi Watts, and Ashley Graham, all seen rubbing shoulders with each other.

Serena Williams, former tennis player and now officially crowned a fashion icon by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), sat alongside Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, sharing laughs and conversations.

New York City, renowned as the fashion capital of the world, witnessed a historic moment as Serena Williams became the first athlete to be recognized as a fashion icon by the CFDA.

The award, presented to her at the American Museum of Natural History, marked a groundbreaking fusion of sports and fashion.

Serena's red carpet appearance was nothing short of breathtaking, as she donned a stunning bespoke black sequin dress designed by CFDA chairman Tom Brown.

To present Serena with the 2023 CFDA Fashion Icon Award, fashion mogul and television star Kim Kardashian took the stage, emphasizing the significance of this moment.

Previous recipients of this prestigious award include fashion icons such as Naomi Campbell, Zendaya, and Rihanna.

Interestingly, among the distinguished guests invited to support Serena Williams was Marchioness Emma Thin, a fashionable Nigerian nobility.

Notably absent from the event were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Emma Thin, also known as Emma Weymouth, is a British socialite and fashion model married to Céline Thin, the 8th Marquess of Bath.

In 2020, she became the first mixed black marchioness in British history.

Emma's presence at the event highlights the missed opportunity for Meghan to learn from someone with similar experiences, but it seems Meghan was more focused on seeking attention through social media.

It comes as no surprise that Meghan Markle was not present at the CFDA Fashion Awards, considering the transactional nature of her friendship with Serena Williams.

Their relationship was never truly genuine, so the absence of Meghan is not unexpected.

However, it is strange that WME (William Morris Endeavor), the talent agency representing Meghan, did not intervene to secure her a ticket.

Perhaps they were concerned about Meghan potentially overshadowing Serena's moment, as Serena is a precious asset to the agency.

The A-listers and even Serena, who is considered a friend of Meghan, are making it clear that they do not know Prince Harry and his wife.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that the only event the couple managed to attend was Katy Perry's concert, which coincided with Earthshot.

Interestingly, the WME jet transporting clients was full, but none of them sat near the Harkles.

Over the past few years, there have been numerous events that the couple could have attended, with many of their supposed friends in attendance.

If they were genuinely invited, it is unlikely that Meghan would have missed out on such opportunities.
