The news as it trends.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has reportedly been banned from the 2025 Met Gala following a feud with Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.

The dispute allegedly began at a 2024 fashion event, where Wintour criticized Campbell’s lateness, leading to a tense exchange between the two.

Wintour, known for her tight control over the Met Gala guest list, is said to have excluded Campbell from this year’s highly anticipated event.

This marks a major shift in their professional relationship, as Campbell has been a Met Gala staple since 1990.

Wintour, a fashion powerhouse, has shaped the industry’s direction for decades, elevating the Met Gala into fashion’s most prestigious night.

Her decision to ban Campbell raises concerns about gatekeeping in elite fashion circles, sparking outrage among fans who question whether personal conflicts should determine access to such an influential event.

However, the rumors surrounding Campbell’s exclusion originated from a now-unpublished report by The Sun, which alleged her feud with Wintour led to her ban from the event.

A spokesperson for Campbell later denied the claim, stating that she simply chose not to attend this year’s Met Gala.

Campbell herself hinted at stepping away from the Gala, saying in a YouTube video that the event causes her too much anxiety and that the 2024 Met Gala was her last one.

With Campbell’s absence, this year’s Met Gala loses one of its most iconic figures, signaling a dramatic shift in fashion’s power dynamics.
