Naomi Campbell hits out at Anna Wintour at Harlem’s Fashion Row Style Awards
Naomi Campbell throws shade at Anna Wintour over timekeeping during acceptance speech
Naomi Campbell has recently hit out at Anna Wintour during an acceptance speech she made in New York.
The Vogue editor-in-chief was supposed to award Naomi with the Fashion Icon Award at Harlem’s Fashion Row’s Style Awards on September 3.
However, Anna handed over the presentation baton to Harper’s Bazaar editor Samira Nasr while she made a “dig” at supermodel’s punctuality.
“I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late,” said Anna.
She added that Naomi is also “bold, bright and entirely, unquestionably herself”.
However, Anna didn’t stay on the stage for Naomi and gave it to Samira who introduced Naomi and gave her the award.
Naomi then clapped back at Anna, saying, “I want to say this… Everything’s going to work out the way it’s going to work out.”
“It wasn’t my choice to have the other lady. I’d much rather have this,” she remarked.
The supermodel continued, “Yes, Naomi’s always late.”
“But I believe in my high power, and I want to thank my higher power for having me be here,” she added.
Meanwhile, a source spilled to the E! News, “Anna was very honoured to be asked to present the award, but it was made clear she had a hard out, and she was thrilled Samira could step in for her.”
