There have been many explanations as to why Queen Vashti did not appear at the banquet. It was customary for the women to have separate functions while the men had theirs. She may have been aware that they would all be drunk and rowdy and to come before them may have caused her to be sexual abused, but one just doesn't know what was on her mind nor do we know what was on King Xerxes' mind to bring his queen before so many princes just to show her off. In the times in which she lived, I'm sure Vashti knew there could be severe consequences for disobeying a king; so I doubt it was just for vanity sake.
