Naomi Campbell 'banned from Met Gala' after brutal swipe at Dame Anna Wintour
Naomi Campbell left onlookers stunned when she took a public swipe at Dame Anna Wintour last year but the comment appears to have left the fashion icon furiour Dame Anna Wintour has reportedly "banned" supermodel Naomi Campbell from attending the Met Gala again. The move is believed to have set tongues wagging after a brutal swipe from the iconic star last year. While Naomi, 54, is one of the most successful supermodels, it appears Dame Anna hasn't forgotten her comments. Last year, London-born Naomi took a very public swipe at the Met boss while receiving an award at Harlem's Fashion Row's Fashion Show and Style Awards. After Dame Anna, 75, appeared to playfully joke about Naomi attending on time, the supermodel wasted no time in sharing what was on her mind. But the comments have apparently left a lasting impression and Dame Anna is keen to remind people who "runs the show." Sources claim that the Condé Nast chief content officer hasn't forgotten what was said. "Naomi shot herself in the stiletto with that comment," a source said. They went on to say: "You don't throw shade at the queen of fashion and still expect to walk her red carpet. Anna doesn't forget - or forgive. It's no coincidence. If Anna wants you out, you're out. Simple as that." Speaking to The Sun, they added: "Naomi's been a Met staple for decades, so her absence from the list hasn't gone unnoticed. Everyone's whispering - and it's Anna's way of reminding who runs the show." But just last week, Naomi disclosed in a YouTube video that last year's gala would be her last. In a video shared with her 533,000 subscribers, she said: "This is my last Met," she said as she gave fans a glimpse into her preparation for the 2024 event. The mother-of-two was seemingly mocked by her assistants who commented: "Famous last words." But Naomi appeared certain she won't attend again. She added: "It is my last Met! I can't, I'm too old. It's too much for me - the anxiety. I don't know what number this is for me, I think it could be number 20 or 21. Can you imagine?" Last September, Naomi received recognition and was handed the Fashion Icon Award and was introduced by Dame Anna. However, the former Vogue editor appeared to make light of Naomi's punctuality during her introduction speech. She said: "I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late," before praising Naomi saying she was "bold, bright and entirely, unquestionably herself." Shortly after Dame Anna's comments, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, Samira Nasr introduced Naomi again as she gave a short speech. Appearing on stage, Naomi laughed: "Yes, Naomi's always late." She added: "But I believe in my high power and I want to thank my higher power for having me be here." The 54-year-old added: "It's so important that I'm here today, and I'm honoured to be here in Harlem." "Everything's going to work out the way it's meant to work out," she said, adding, "it wasn't my choice to have the other lady," as she directed her vision towards Dame Anna. While looking at Samira, Naomi added: "I'd much rather have this, so thank you." Following the comments, social media erupted with fans claiming Naomi's comments would ensure she'd never be invited to the Met Gala again. One X, formerly known as Twitter user wrote: "No more Met Gala invites for Naomi." "I mean she's already been to it 17 times, at this point I'm sure it just feels like another work event," laughed a second. Another commented: "'The other lady', she ain't name no names but them words were pointed!" "Naomi's clapback was legendary—she's never one to let a comment slide, especially when it comes to her time and presence. It seems like she got the last word in with style," commented another.

Naomi Campbell's savage reason why she'll never attend the Met Gala again
Naomi Campbell has been one of the best-dressed stars at the Met Gala for years, but swore that last year was her 'last Met' after explaining why she was tired of all the drama Naomi Campbell is a kingpin of the fashion industry. The beauty has been a mainstay at pretty much every show, red carpet, and party of the past few decades, but she's revealed that she has plans to change that some time soon. London -born Naomi, 54, started modelling when she was just eight years old, and by the time she was a teen began working for huge designer houses such as Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Isaac Mizrahi. In the 1980s she formed the supermodel powergroup 'the Trinity,' becoming known for her collaboration and close friendship with Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista. With Naomi's massive fame and success came her inevitable appearance at all major A-list events, including the most prestigious of all; the Met Gala. In a new YouTube video, however, Noami has sworn never to return to the exclusive bash. Naomi shared her latest vlog on April 26, sharing a look inside her long preparations for the Met Gala 2024. The video showed Naomi getting ready for the party before heading over in a car, where she snacked away while all glammed up in her sparkling dress. Looking at the camera, she promised: 'This is my last Met.' The star's assistants didn't seem to believe her, with one jokingly mocking: 'Famous last words.' Naomi doubled down: 'It is my last Met! I can't, I'm too old. It's too much for me - the anxiety. I don't know what number this is for me, I think it could be number 20 or 21. Can you imagine?' While Naomi said at the time that she had no plans to return, just a few months later fans claimed that she'd never be invited back to the Met Gala again whether she wanted to attend or not after she shared a snippy moment while live on stage with big boss Anna Wintour. That September, Naomi received the Fashion Icon Award on Tuesday in New York, and Vogue editor-in-chief Dame Anna introduced Naomi to receive the gong - while taking a subtle swipe at the model's timekeeping. "I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late,"Anna said before praising Naomi as "bold, bright and entirely, unquestionably herself." Shortly after Dame Anna's comments, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, Samira Nasr introduced Naomi again as she gave a short speech. Appearing on stage, Naomi laughed: "Yes, Naomi's always late." Later, however, she seemed to lash out at Anna, saying: 'It wasn't my choice to have the other lady," as she directed her vision towards the editor. While looking at Samira, Naomi added: "I'd much rather have this, so thank you." The audience gasped in shock at the snub towards the most powerful person in fashion, and fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, were equally thrown. "No more Met Gala invites for Naomi," one person said, with another adding: "I mean she's already been to it 17 times, at this point I'm sure it just feels like another work event.' Alongside feeling 'too old' for the Met and her rumoured beef with Anna, there could be another reason Naomi's done with big events; wanting to be at home with her two children. The star became a mum for the first time in 2021, before welcoming a son in 2023. Speaking to the Evening Standard, Naomi hinted at her desire to settle down in London and added: "These days when I travel, I try to make it not longer than 48 hours as it's too disruptive. Unless I can do a job in and out, then the kids have to come with."
