Dame Anna Wintour has reportedly "banned" supermodel Naomi Campbell from attending the Met Gala again. The move is believed to have set tongues wagging after a brutal swipe from the iconic star last year. While Naomi, 54, is one of the most successful supermodels, it appears Dame Anna hasn't forgotten her comments.

Last year, London-born Naomi took a very public swipe at the Met boss while receiving an award at Harlem's Fashion Row's Fashion Show and Style Awards. After Dame Anna, 75, appeared to playfully joke about Naomi attending on time, the supermodel wasted no time in sharing what was on her mind.

‌

But the comments have apparently left a lasting impression and Dame Anna is keen to remind people who "runs the show." Sources claim that the Condé Nast chief content officer hasn't forgotten what was said.

‌

"Naomi shot herself in the stiletto with that comment," a source said. They went on to say: "You don't throw shade at the queen of fashion and still expect to walk her red carpet. Anna doesn't forget - or forgive. It's no coincidence. If Anna wants you out, you're out. Simple as that."

Speaking to The Sun, they added: "Naomi's been a Met staple for decades, so her absence from the list hasn't gone unnoticed. Everyone's whispering - and it's Anna's way of reminding who runs the show." But just last week, Naomi disclosed in a YouTube video that last year's gala would be her last.

In a video shared with her 533,000 subscribers, she said: "This is my last Met," she said as she gave fans a glimpse into her preparation for the 2024 event. The mother-of-two was seemingly mocked by her assistants who commented: "Famous last words." But Naomi appeared certain she won't attend again.

She added: "It is my last Met! I can't, I'm too old. It's too much for me - the anxiety. I don’t know what number this is for me, I think it could be number 20 or 21. Can you imagine?" Last September, Naomi received recognition and was handed the Fashion Icon Award and was introduced by Dame Anna.

‌

However, the former Vogue editor appeared to make light of Naomi's punctuality during her introduction speech. She said: "I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late," before praising Naomi saying she was "bold, bright and entirely, unquestionably herself." Shortly after Dame Anna's comments, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, Samira Nasr introduced Naomi again as she gave a short speech.

Appearing on stage, Naomi laughed: "Yes, Naomi's always late." She added: "But I believe in my high power and I want to thank my higher power for having me be here." The 54-year-old added: "It's so important that I'm here today, and I'm honoured to be here in Harlem."

"Everything's going to work out the way it's meant to work out," she said, adding, "it wasn't my choice to have the other lady," as she directed her vision towards Dame Anna. While looking at Samira, Naomi added: "I'd much rather have this, so thank you." Following the comments, social media erupted with fans claiming Naomi's comments would ensure she'd never be invited to the Met Gala again.

One X, formerly known as Twitter user wrote: "No more Met Gala invites for Naomi." "I mean she's already been to it 17 times, at this point I'm sure it just feels like another work event," laughed a second. Another commented: "'The other lady', she ain't name no names but them words were pointed!" "Naomi's clapback was legendary—she's never one to let a comment slide, especially when it comes to her time and presence. It seems like she got the last word in with style," commented another.

The Mirror has approached Dame Anna's representative for comment.
