Fashion icons duke it out! Naomi “blacklisted” from Met Gala, Wintour main suspect

Two narcissists that nobody likes fighting over an event that lost all relevance a decade ago.

Did Naomi throw her phone at her? God I hope so.

Isn't Wintour 108 by now?

THIS is a scandal? Yawn.

Wintour is one of the ugliest women I’ve ever seen.

Good. Naomi has been long known human trafficker of Women

The gala is tonight and they needed a quick McScandal to drum up some press

Campbell lookd tertiblr. ugh

Naomi is jealous that Anna has hair.

Not convinced Anna has hair

Anna should keep her glasses on.

Bad link

Metro has a way of pulling links when they get too much traffic.

I’m the bitch?

R1, the Gala is more relevant than ever now. It gets more coverage online than the superbowl. Its price per commercial during its livestream is about equivalent to the Super Bowl (1 million for six seconds vs. 6 million for 30s). The gals reached 1.4 billion unique impressions online. In 1995 a table of 10 cost 10k. Today the same table costs 350k. For major fashion brands and advertisers the event is more relevant than it ever has been.

R8 That’s a ratty wig.

[quote] Naomi is jealous that Anna has hair.

[quote]—She's bald af

So is Anna. Don't tell me you think that's Anna's real hair?

They have so much in common. They both work in fashion, they are both British, they both scream and throw things at assistants, they're both well past menopause.

Can't they make up and bond over their shared memories of Queen Victoria's era?

Remember that DL thread a couple of years ago (last year?) that said Anna's retirement was imminent? I suspect she plants these rumours among her staff herself, with each one given a slight variation of the story, in order to sniff out the rats if/when they go to the press. This bitch is gonna retire when she drops dead.

Relevant to what r14?

A freak show always attracts attention.

Tim Gunn confirmed he was banned from the Met Gala.

“I was asked what is the most unforgettable thing I’ve ever seen in fashion and I said, ‘It’s easy. It was watching Anna Wintour being carried down five flights of stairs by two bodyguards—two big hulking men—from a fashion show.’ All hell broke loose. It was insane. We’ve had an open war ever since,”

R18 How will we know?

So Anna has been wearing a wig since she was 14? That's how long she's had that exact hairstyle.

I don't think that having the same hairstyle since the age of 14 means that it is not a wig now that she is 137 1/2.

That's an old trick, r22--for a society or fashion doyenne to wear the exact same hairstyle for decades so she always looks like she doesn't age.

It helps especially when the hairstyle, like Ann's, is all bangs. Those can hide the wrinkles on the forehead and cheeks, and also that hide the hairline so the hair can be replaced by a custom-made wig when inevitably the hair grows thinner.

If you think that's her real hair at age 75, you're incredibly naive.

[quote]so she always looks like she doesn't age.

I think maintaining a strong personal brand is more the point here. That hairstyle IS her by now, and she it.

[quote]fighting over an event that lost all relevance a decade ago

I love it when people say this. It's a big deal, probably even bigger than ever, and raises a lot of money. Most people who talk about relevance are just mad at who gets invited now. I'm sorry, we are no longer in the mid-20th century. Times change, as do guest lists.

Real question: What happens to Condé Nast when Anna finally hangs it up / dies? Vogue keeps the lights on and she isn’t exactly nurturing a viable replacement.

Naomi has ruined her face with those cheek implants 🤢

Nina Garcia wants to replace her.

[quote] Real question: What happens to Condé Nast when Anna finally hangs it up / dies? Vogue keeps the lights on and she isn’t exactly nurturing a viable replacement.

She herself was not groomed to replace Grace Mirabella.

Vogue has survived through many iconic editors, from Frank Crowninshield to Jessica Daves to Diana Vreeland to Mirabella to Wintour. They will likely survive when Wintour finally shuffles off this mortal coil (she ain't leaving any other way, at least if she can help it).

Naomi is a bitch and sociopath. Let the karma begin to rain on her. It might have started with how she is aging like a low budget wine.

Naomi is a whore who must have slept with thousands of men...she must have herpes...that's why nobody wants to marry her. Used up, old and smelly pussy worse that cheryl's

R30- you’re kidding yourself. Anna took over Vogue in 1988. That was 37 years ago! In terms of the media business, that might as well have been 100 years ago with how radically the landscape has changed. It’s a dying business and she is the last celebrity editor who really commands attention (and advertising revenue).

Relevant to a multi-billionaire dollar fashion and cosmetics industry, r19. It is becoming just as relevant as the super bowl as far as advertisers are concerned. The super bowl doesn't reach as big of an international audience as the Met Gala does. It's pretty major - and this year particular so as the fashion industry awaits the first collections this fall from a series of extremely talented young gay boys who are now helming some of the biggest fashion houses (Chanel, Dior) in the world. It is may not be important to you. BUT it definitely hasn't lost relevance, it has only gained it in the past years.

I wonder if Tim Gunn's ban and tiff with Anna Wintour is also the reason he was not asked backed to the reboot of Project Runway. He was sitting at home, waiting for the call. That would be insane if she literally blackballed him from the industry, if she still had the power to do so.

Tim Gunn cannot.be blacklisted - we pay attention because he’s right every time.

And, I was hoping for a Dangerous Liaisons type ending for my dear Ms. Wintour, but her group has no spine.

R20 was she bombed?

I feel so sorry for Naomi's kids with a deranged narc mom. Campbell is 100% certifiable.

Naomi is insane which is why no man wants to marry her.

Does anyone who matters still go to that rubber chicken event?

No they don't r40.

Aren’t tickets $50k? It raises big time cash.

“The super bowl doesn't reach as big of an international audience as the Met Gala does.”

That is fiction, not fact. 100% incorrect.

Lame PR hacks bombing this thread

I think Naomi is wonderful!

OP’s photo makes me think Julianne Moore could play Anna in the movie.

No, R25, that haircut IS Daisy Gamble and always will be.

I remember Just Shoot Me! making fun of Anna when I was watching it as a CHILD. And now I'm here, a middle-aged man, and she's in the exact same position she was back then. This is not normal, it's a fucking gerontocracy.

Anna just announced an Editorial Order placing 100% tariffs on any designer who employed Naomi in the past.

R47 sent me back to AppleTV and I don’t regret it. My neighbors may have a problem with my upper register and they can suck shit.

I want a garden party where Yoko Ono and Anna trade wigs

Next year's gala will be produced by Cultural Czar Stephen Miller.

Nothing wrong with keeping the same hairstyle for decades.

Gollum in a ratty wig

Same, r48. Anna Wintour has been at Vogue since I was in elementary school. I'm now close to 50. hang it up, bitch!

These Boomers just refuse to let go.

For R43, considering that nobody in other countries even watches the Super Bowl except American Expats, I am sure the Met Gala, which has international designers from the biggest fashion houses in the world "competing" I am sure it gets a bigger international audience.

As far as it's impact compared to the Super Bowl:

[quote]In 2023, software company Launchmetrics found that the Met Gala generated nearly double the "media impact value" (the monetary value of publicity generated) for brands than the Super Bowl, at US$995 million. In 2024, the Met Gala's figure rose to $1.4 billion.

I'm tired of Anna's stranglehold on all things fashion for almost 40 years - it's ridiculous and unjustifiable.

Who will fill the gap? I don't care - and I don't think in the 2000's, we need anyone like this anymore.

Are you really tied R56? People do like to be dramatic. Maybe she is there because she is fucking good. I would be curious to hear what your opinion is as to what she is doing wrong and what you would rather see instead with an example maybe.

Naomi was friends with Epstein and Ghislaine, dated Diddy and was recently banned from running charities in the UK due to widespread financial mismanagement. I strongly suspect some other shoes will drop somewhere down the line

The woman is beyond sketchy.

R55 “found” = generated a number from random data with no confirmation of validity.

And, to your point, the World Cup makes the Met Gala look like a freshman showcase at FIT.

Wintour is not "in the exact same position" as when you still had a waistline, dear. She is now Creative Director of all of Conde Nast.

She’s more grating than that fat fuck from the south.

The south of Westchester? He died in White Plains. And he was born in DC. And he went grad school in Providence.

I think that the preview picture at the OP is the first time I've ever seen her eyes. And damn, she has one hell of a honker.

R61 - which one? The South is well known for its abundance of fat fucks.

So many - can you give us another hint? Can I buy a vowel?

R62 You must don’t know much about him. He grew up in North Carolina with his grandmammy.

R64 Only one was close to Anna Wintour you dumb hoe.

Plus back when Talley was born DC WAS the south.

R66 - Ahh...The one who wrote the book and trashed her before he died. The one who lived in tents the last 20 years of his life. The one with picket-fenced teeth. The one who claimed he was still a virgin, even though we know he bought rent boys and tried to use his position to get young men in bed.

THAT fat fuck? Right-o. Well, she has a point.

R65 if you knew, you’d now be spent far more of life in the north than in the south. Take a hike on I-95.

Wintour ruined the Met Gala a long time ago.

Cunts of all coloraturas who know and care nothing for art or fashion shitting up the air with their arrogance is NOT a worthy cause.

She also received blood diamonds from Charles Taylor, the Liberian dictator. I wouldn't be surprised if she started dating Kim Jong Un, r58.

Veep plays it down the middle

R71 - how come on, they have always brought her luck.

Blood Diamonds, by Charles Taylor. Exclusively at Macy's.

R71 I began to suspect something was very off when she was called to testify at The Hague about her interactions Taylor and acted... inconvenienced.

I not some massive Mia Farrow fan but at least she had the decency to treat the whole affair with the respect it deserved.

[quote]Next year's gala will be produced by Cultural Czar Stephen Miller.

The theme will be " Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS."

R70 has the gayest autocomplete I’ve ever seen.

R72 Woot. It’s official. She is running for California governor.

Datalounge people- I have a question 🙋‍♂️

Does Anna Wintour wear a

RATTY Korean wig ?

R59, that still doesn't change that fact that globally the Met Gala has become more important than the Super Bowel and generating more ad dollars overall. That was the conversation being had.

R79 oh wow. Thats impressive.

My super bowel ain’t making me any money. It’s retired.

I didn’t realize how homely Anna is. No wonder she wears the same hairstyle all the time.

R74 Miss Farrow & Miss Campbell are both very pretty 😍

Homely is generous. Thinks she is Dorian Gray but is actually the painting.

[quote][R59], that still doesn't change that fact that globally the Met Gala has become more important than the Super Bowel and generating more ad dollars overall.

Total bullshit.

[quote]The annual gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — the flashy fashion extravaganza that highlights the city’s social scene every May — raised a record $31 million this year, museum officials announced on Monday, the biggest gross in the event’s 77-year history.

[quote]The Super Bowl stands as one of the most significant annual events in the United States, generating substantial revenue across various sectors. In 2024, Americans spent approximately $17.3 billion on Super Bowl-related products and services, with projections indicating that spending for 2025 will exceed $18 billion.

Let me understand here, one uber-cunt out cunts another?

Naomi has been linked with sex traffickers in several blind items. Sad.

R86 that’s what the museum raised. That has nothing to do with what the publicity generates online. And I think you’re having trouble grasping International.

The initial argument was that the Met Gala was more irrelevant now than in the past. I am arguing that it is actually MORE relevant now than in the past. So much so that INTERNATIONALLY it’s more important than the Super Bowl.

I’m not sure what you are arguing.
