Is Naomi Campbell BANNED From Met Gala? Learn Truth Behind Supermodel's Absence From Fashion Fiesta

While many are excited for the Met Gala this year, Naomi Campbell might reportedly sit this one out. Recent reports suggest the supermodel won’t attend the iconic event due to her previous bold move.

According to The Daily Mail, Naomi Campbell was banned from the Met Gala. This comes after her feud with Vogue's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.

However, in her latest Instagram post, Campbell stated that she was invited to the event and that she regrets not being able to attend the grand night in the fashion industry. 

"Even though I'm not there in person, I'm with you all in spirit, carried by the legacy of my presence, vision, and belief that fashion is art helped shape what the Met Gala is presenting tonight," she added in her Instagram Stories. 

Meanwhile, Campbell also expressed her excitement to see the mix of African and European style.

The supermodel had criticized Anna Wintour, the host of the Met Gala, during an industry event, which led to tension between them.

However, in her stories, she congratulated Anna Wintour and other "brilliant designers" for the night. 

A source told Mail Online that Naomi Campbell was indeed invited to this year's Met Gala but chose not to attend. The model has previously graced the event 21 times in a row and decided to skip it this year.

The Met Gala will take place at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, with this year's theme being Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

Just last week, Naomi Campbell mentioned feeling "too old" to attend the iconic fashion event.

In a YouTube video, the highly acclaimed supermodel Naomi Campbell shared that the 2024 Met Gala would be her last, stating, "I can't... I'm too old. It's too much for me, the anxiety."

The rift between Naomi Campbell and Anna Wintour began last September at the New York Fashion Week ceremony for Harlem's Fashion Row, where Naomi’s tardiness caused tension.

It’s important to note that Naomi Campbell has graced the cover of Vogue over 60 times under Anna Wintour's editorship.
