Bella Hadid sparks Met Gala storm with Jeff Bezos swipe

Bella Hadid has kicked off a full-blown fashion feud and this time, it’s not about hemlines or haute couture.

The 29-year-old supermodel has made her feelings crystal clear ahead of this year’s Met Gala, subtly backing criticism of new co-chair Jeff Bezos and sending shockwaves through the A-list guest list.

Bella, a five-time attendee known for slaying the carpet in looks from Versace and Dior, raised eyebrows with her Instagram activity just hours before the big night in New York. 

Her move has only fuelled growing backlash surrounding Bezos and wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who are serving as headline sponsors.

The controversy centres on Amazon and its reported ties to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a hot-button issue reignited amid political noise surrounding Donald Trump.

And the drama doesn’t stop there. 

Zendaya is rumoured to be giving the event a miss, while Meryl Streep is said to have quietly stepped back from a possible co-chair role.

Adding fuel to the fire, Taraji P. Henson took to social media with a blunt reaction, questioning why some stars are still planning to attend at all.

Now, all eyes are on Anna Wintour, the woman behind the spectacle, as pressure mounts to keep fashion’s biggest night from unravelling into its most controversial yet.

This year, it seems the real statement pieces might not be worn but spoken.
