Naomi Campbell was asked the million-dollar question: Is she beefing with Rihanna?
Now, let’s rewind. All the drama started with what might be the most demure video in the history of demureness. Picture this: Naomi and celeb stylist Law Roach, sitting there, sipping tea (probably), when Law says with the elegance of a cat wearing Chanel, “We don’t go to the shows like the other girls. We don’t come with our tatas or our chichis out. Very demure.”
Naomi, because she’s Naomi, added with the wisdom of a fashion Yoda, “Very mindful. It’s not about showing yourself—it’s about showing the clothes.” Translation: We’re not here for a peep show, we’re here for haute couture.
Now, on the very same day, Rihanna—yes, the one and only Bad Gal RiRi—rolled into the Alaïa fashion show wearing a dress so sheer that if you squinted, you could probably see what she had for lunch. Needless to say, the fans did what fans do best: jumped to conclusions like it was the Olympics. Comment sections lit up like the 4th of July with guesses that Naomi and Law were throwing some high-fashion shade at Rihanna.
Fast forward to Naomi being asked about this supposed fashion feud in an interview. Her response? Pure class.
“I’m not about to let the world pit two Black women against each other,” Naomi told The New York Times, probably while sipping another cup of metaphorical tea. “We are two women with two children—mothers.”
Translation: “Ain’t nobody got time for drama. I’m a mother. Pass the pacifiers, not the rumors.”
