Upstage

Hi,

What does a person upstages a party mean?

Thanks!

  

Top answer

A person can't upstage a party. He can only upstage another person. I assume they meant that the person became the center of attention at the party thereby overshadowing the intended guest of honor.

  • A person can't upstage a party.

  • I might say he hijacked the party.

Hi , Anonymous,

"upstage a party" is quoted from the context:

"Rio gets a cowgirl makeover and upstages a party that the two are attending before Stacy reveals that she has no intention of stealing Mike."

What does upstage a party mean here?

Thanks.
