seemingly threw shade at Vogue editor while accepting an award in New York City.
The iconic supermodel, 54, received the Fashion Icon Award at the Harlem’s Fashion Row Fashion Show & Style Awards on Tuesday, September 3. While speaking to the crowd as a presenter, Wintour, 74, referenced Campbell by saying, “I am a very punctual person, and I have the honor of presenting tonight to someone who is often late.”
Wintour then left the event and , the editor of Harper’s Bazaar, presented the award to Campbell on Wintour’s behalf.
“I want to say this. Everything is meant to work out the way it’s going to work out. It wasn’t my choice to have the other lady,” Campbell said on stage per social media footage, apparently referring to Wintour. She then motioned toward Nasr, adding, “I would much rather have this.”

And this was at a time when it was not so common to do so.”
Wintour continued, “Naomi’s bravery has benefited the entire fashion industry. Though, I can tell you that being on the receiving end of that fearlessness can be — oh what can I say? Quite exciting? But it’s her honesty that makes her so incredible to be around, a muse and inspiration for designers.”
Speaking later that night, Campbell praised Wintour for championing her modeling career early on.
“We must still say thank you to Anna Wintour, as she did take the time to come here and give me the award even though I wasn’t here,” Campbell said. “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. And so I thank you for your influence and your continuing support in pushing fashion forward also.”
