Title: Meghan Markle’s Failed Power Play at Variety’s Power of Women Gala
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, attempted a power play at Variety's Power of Women gala, but her efforts fell flat as she returned to the red carpet.
Despite showcasing her designer duds and mingling with A-list stars like Margaret Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio, Meghan's presence failed to impress Hollywood insiders.
The gala provided Meghan Markle with an opportunity to display her fashion choices on the red carpet and interact with renowned celebrities.
However, according to the Daily Mail, in the world of Hollywood, one's reputation is only as good as their last successful project.
Consequently, none of the A-list stars in attendance, including Margaret Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio, seemed particularly captivated by Harry's wife.
Almost a year has passed since the release of Netflix's six-part documentary series, “Harry and.”
Since then, Meghan Markle has mostly made appearances in paparazzi pictures and made vague statements about launching new projects and creating a brand.
Both Meghan and Harry have attempted to make an impact in Hollywood, but their efforts have fallen short.
Recently, a source close to an insider revealed that Meghan approached Perlina Igbokwi, the chairwoman of Universal Studio Group, a division of NBCUniversal, and begged for a photo.
Meghan then spread rumors that she was in talks with NBCUniversal for a comeback in the TV show “Suits.”
The insider further disclosed that Meghan used her 43% Nigerian heritage to portray herself as a Nigerian princess, impressing Perlina Igbokwi, who hails from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria.
However, Perlina's smile revealed her lack of familiarity with Meghan.
While Meghan leaned towards Perlina, Perlina sat confidently and independently, shining on her own.
Meghan had to make an effort to insert herself into the frame, similar to being at a wedding where you barely know the person next to you.
In this scenario, Meghan was her agent's plus one and sat at her agent's table, surrounded by producers rather than actors or talent.
Meghan was positioned at a table near Mr. DiCaprio, seated next to her Uber agent, Brad Slater, who is known for representing personalities like Kevin Costner and Michael Strahan.
Brad Slater brought Meghan as his plus one to the event.
Meghan's appearance was a strategic move often employed by publicists to signal that a client is seeking more work opportunities.
PR expert Mark Bukowski explained that by associating with influential figures in the music industry and teasing exciting projects, Meghan aimed to generate the necessary rumors and gossip that both traditional media and social media thrive upon.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle's attempt to make a triumphant return to the red carpet at Variety's Power of Women gala did not yield the desired results.
Despite her efforts to impress Hollywood insiders and secure new projects, Meghan's presence failed to leave a lasting impression.
