Naomi Campbell shocked fashion lovers by announcing she would not attend the 2025 Met Gala—an event she’s graced more than 15 times. While her public explanation cited “personal reasons,” insiders hint at a deeper story involving a falling-out with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.
The two allegedly exchanged icy words backstage at a London Fashion Week show earlier this year. Campbell’s absence was felt, especially on a night celebrating style rooted in culture. While Wintour remained silent, many in the industry noted the tension was “palpable and unresolved.”
