There is no shade like fashion shade. Anna Wintour and Naomi Campbell threw some jabs at each other during a recent awards show.
As spotted on TMZ the Editor-In-Chief of Vogue Magazine was feeling petty this week. The media executive was asked to present the super model with the Icon Award at the Harlem’s Fashion Row Fashion Show And Awards. While on stage she seemed clearly annoyed that Naomi had yet to arrive to the event and proceeded to take a jab at her. “I am a very punctual person, and I have the honor of presenting tonight to someone who is often late,” Wintour said to which the crowd in attendance laughed. She proceeded to let Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Samira Nasr that she would have to present Naomi the honor as Wintour exited the ceremony immediately after. She would be later spotted at the US Open.
Upon arriving it seems Naomi was notified that the Wintour had left the venue prompting her to address the situation in a very classy but charming way. “I want to say this. Everything is meant to work out the way it’s going to work out,” she told the crowd. “It wasn’t my choice to have the other lady. I would much rather have this,” Campbell said, nodding to Nasr. While the shade was indeed returned, Naomi did have some kind works for Wintour.
“So thank you, Anna Wintour, for your support in my career from 1987, meeting a young Black girl from South London in British Vogue offices and taking a chance in giving me a shoot,” she added. “And so I thank you for your influence and your continuing support in pushing fashion forward also.”
Sources close to the event say that Naomi Campbell was not tardy and arrived at the time she was asked to. TMZ hears that Anna Wintour was the one who asked the committee to move up the presentation so she make the tennis match. You can see footage from the event below.
