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.

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.
