Laverne Cox Recalls Iconic Shade from Naomi Campbell at Her First Met Gala

Laverne Cox Recalls Iconic Shade from Naomi Campbell at Her First Met Gala

Laverne Cox has revealed a standout Met Gala moment when supermodel Naomi Campbell walked away instead of posing for a photo with her and Bella Hadid. According to Cox, she and Hadid were amid a photoshoot when photographers called out, “Naomi! Take a picture with Laverne and Bella!” Campbell looked Cox up and down, then turned and left without joining them. Despite the brush-off, Cox says it remains one of her favourite memories. She admits she was initially hesitant to share it but now finds it amusing. She also emphasises that she and Campbell have always been friendly at other events. Cox debuted at the Met Gala in 2019 wearing Christian Siriano. She has since become a major fashion icon and will soon appear on Bronwyn Newport’s Walk-In series to discuss her style influences and wardrobe.

What do you think fueled Naomi Campbell's decision to walk away from that photo op with Laverne Cox and Bella Hadid?

I'd like to understand better—what part of that moment makes you wonder about her reasons?

It's interesting that a seasoned model like Naomi Campbell would ignore a photo request from peers for no clear reason.

I'm not convinced there was any shade intended; maybe she just had other priorities at that moment and couldn't pause.

Next time at a big event, have a clear communication plan so everyone knows when to pose and no one feels snubbed.
