clarification
For those who asked:
A soiree (swah-ray) is an evening dinner party typically thrown by people with more 0's in their bank accounts than invited guests. The one held at the Esplanade as recounted in my previous post was thrown by the Government of Singapore for the Delegates of the IMF/World Bank Meetings. It was lavish, decadent and totally indulgent. (I bet it's hard to discuss the ethics of banning protestors when you're enjoying yourself that much.)
A sari (sah-ree) on the other hand, is what an Indian lady would wear.
Conceivably, a lady could wear a sari to a soiree, but not the other way around. If she attempted the latter, that would truly be a feat. But not a fete. A fete would be why soirees are thrown.
