A thousand years is plenty of time to practice and perfect poise and decorum. Even so, a pony has her limits. Luckily, all that time honing diplomacy helps Celestia spot openings to make her moves, dispensing with unpleasantness discreetly. Most ponies don't even notice her discomfit unless she deliberately pulls them into the moment, which she only really does to defuse with light humor (witness the prank on the Cakes).

Celestia still sort of prefers when hosts engage her in dispensing refreshments, though she supposes not every event can have her judging culinary creations.
