Naomi Campbell Declares She'll Never Attend Met Gala Again

Naomi Campbell, the 54-year-old supermodel and longtime Met Gala fixture, has declared that she will no longer attend the prestigious fashion event, citing feelings of being 'too old' and unable to handle the anxiety associated with its preparations. In a recent episode of her YouTube series, Campbell reflected on her two-decade history at the Met Gala and stated this year's appearance would be her last. She also admitted to never strictly following the event's themed dress codes, preferring to dress according to her own style. Speculation has arisen that tension with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who co-chairs the Gala, may have contributed to her decision, following a publicly awkward exchange at a previous award ceremony. Despite her retirement from the Met Gala, Campbell remains active in other aspects of fashion and business. The 2025 Met Gala is scheduled for May 5 with a theme centered on 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'
