Naomi Campbell suggested that she may never grace the Met Gala again, citing feeling "too old" for the high-profile event. The 54-year-old supermodel, who last dazzled on the red carpet at last year's gala in a stunning Burberry turquoise gown, hinted at her decision during an episode of her YouTube series, Being Naomi. As she prepared for the event and travelled there by car, the London born model told her assistants: "This is my last Met.
It is my last. I can't..
. I'm too old. It's too much for me, the anxiety".
One of her assistants then joned "Famous last words." Antiques Roadshow expert floored by guest's watch that 'hit the trifecta' The reason Prince William and Donald Trump didn't wear black to Pope's funeral Campbell retorted: "I don't know what number this is, I think it could be either 20 or 21, can you imagine." The iconic '90s supermodel sharing the clip, suggests she won't be attending the 2025 Met Gala which takes place on May 5.
In the same video, she also revealed how she prepared her ensemble for the 2024 event, which was themed on 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.' While attendees typically dress according to the gala's theme, Campbell confessed that she doesn't adhere to these guidelines, stating: "I don't follow themes, sorry. I just flow.
" Another potential reason for Naomi's reluctance to attend future galas could be due to tension between her and Vogue editor-in-chief Dame Anna Wintour , one of the most influential figures in fashion. During Naomi's acceptance of the Fashion Icon Award in New York last September, Dame Anna took a subtle jab at the model's notorious tardiness in her introductory remarks. Naomi was reintroduced by Samira Nasr, Harper's Bazaar editor, to deliver a brief speech.
Naomi took the stage with a chuckle, quipping: "Yes, Naomi's always late." She then appeared to make a dig at Anna, saying "it wasn't my choice to have the other lady," as she locked eyes with Anna. Naomi then redirected her gaze to Samira, saying: "I'd much rather have this, so thank you.
" This year's Met Gala will feature an array of stars, including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian , Lady Gaga, Zendaya, and Sabrina Carpenter Born in London, 54 year old Naomi initiated her modeling career at the tender age of eight. By her teenage years, she was already collaborating with esteemed designer houses like Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Isaac Mizrahi. In the 1980s, Naomi formed the supermodel trio 'the Trinity' with Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, highlighting their professional alliances and close friendship.
