*Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s first ever Oscar party was like a clandestine operation with details not even known to the couple’s closest friends until the last possible minute, according to a report from Page Six:
“Close friends with Jay . . . didn’t even know if they were invited,” said an insider of the party kept under wraps in the Chateau Marmont’s garage where only about 200 were admitted. “They wanted to mind-f - - k everyone and keep everything mysterious and exclusive.”
Another source told us, “It took some masterful maneuvers to pull this off, and they enjoyed it so much they want to make it annual, keeping it as much on the ‘DL’ as possible.”
The garage was turned into a casino-themed space. To keep the public guessing, “They went stealth. VVVIPs all went up a hill past the hotel and went into the kitchen to make their way down to the back entrance of the garage. No fotogs, no carpet.”
In preparation for the party, we hear, staffers were told not to refer to Jay-Z and Beyoncé by name but only as “the host and hostess.”
A different source said inside “it was all of black Hollywood.” We hear there were “no performances . . . a lot of stars mingling and letting their hair down because they knew they were not under the microscope of prying eyes.”
Rihanna, Stevie Wonder, Danai Gurira, Jamie Foxx and Drake were among the guests who made it into the soiree.
According to the report, photographers were faked out by a secret entrance, but did capture one of the stars, “Get Out” Oscar nominee Daniel Kaluuya.
