Starr feels somewhat out of place at the party. The kids she meets there are not her usual crowd, and so she doesn't really feel like she belongs there. When Kenya and the others start talking—and complaining—about their teachers, Starr inevitably feels left out of the conversation. She doesn't attend the same school; she goes to an elite prep school where most of the kids are white. Feeling excluded from the conversation, she feels somewhat isolated.
Things get worse when Denasia and the other two girls in Starr's company walk away from her. Starr feels horribly vulnerable all of a sudden. There she is, all alone, in an unfamiliar social environment, without anyone to talk to. She feels socially naked, hence the reference to Eve, who was literally naked in the Garden of Eden.
