Prince insisted all his guests wore purple to his post-Oscars party on Sunday (24.02.08).The 'Purple Rain' singer - who held the £200,000 bash at his £10 million Los Angeles mansion - told stars including George Clooney, Johnny Depp and James McAvoy they must don the colour in order to enjoy purple-coloured snacks and Purple Rain cocktails.A source said: "Purple has always been Prince's favourite colour. He decided the guests must wear something purple. All the drinks and food were purple and the house was given a purple makeover." Prince's sensuous party was in sharp contrast to Madonna's post-awards bash.Her guests, who included Jack Nicholson and John Travolta, were given a wheat and diary-free macrobiotic dinner.The health-conscious singer had flown catering staff from London to prepare the main meal of steamed seabass.After eating, Madonna took to the dancefloor, and urged her guests to follow her example.
