vanity fair

A place characterized by frivolity, excessive display of how fancy this place is, and pretentious.

It comes from the the book Pilgrim's Progress, where there was a fair in a town called Vanity. Later on, there was a book called Vanity Fair, and that's when it became a common term.

I got invited to a party at my friend Martha's house. You know, the rich girl who's related to the queen? Anyway, the party was a vanity fair.

What movie should we see? I'm thinking of seeing Vanity Fair. It's based on a novel I had to read in high school.
