Supermodel Naomi Campbell and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour engaged in a tense exchange that left the audience buzzing on Tuesday night's Harlem's Fashion Row Fashion Show and Style Awards.
The incident, which took place on September 4th, 2024, highlighted underlying tensions between the two fashion powerhouses.
The friction began when Anna Wintour took to the podium and subtly criticized Naomi Campbell for her reputation of being late. "I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late," Wintour remarked, drawing gasps from the audience.
Sources close to Campbell revealed that the supermodel had arrived at the time given by the event's producers. However, Wintour, reportedly in a rush to attend the US Open, moved up her presentation slot before making an early exit.
Visibly disappointed by Wintour's departure, Campbell made her feelings known when accepting her Fashion Icon Award from Samira Nasr, editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar. Acknowledging her habit of being late, Campbell added, "It wasn’t my choice to have the other lady [Wintour]. I’d much rather have this," referring to Nasr.
