Linda Evangelista, Refined Return to Met Gala After 9 Year Absence. She Was Isolated After Being D

On May 6, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York hosted the Met Gala 2024, a fashion event themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”, a celebration of vintage textiles and fashion creations over the years , and the dress code was “The Garden of Time”, inspired by J. Ballard’s story of the same title, written in 1962.

Dozens of stars made their appearance on the red carpet, including supermodel Linda Evagelista, who turned 58. After nine years of absence from the steps of the famous Met Gala, Linda Evangelista returned to the most important evening of fashion.

For her big moment, the supermodel wore a look that characterizes her. “I wear Khaite a lot in my real life,” she explained to fashion publication Vogue. So she turned to the brand’s designer, Catherine Holstein, who created for her an elegant white dress made of organic silk. “I feel so comfortable in it and I’m very, very, very, very happy.”

Linda Evangelista, 58, accessorized the dress with long sheer gloves and a pair of chandelier earrings by designer Ana Khouri, who accompanied the star on the red carpet.

The legendary model has attended the Met Gala 11 times before her last appearance in 2015, when the theme was “China: Through the Looking Glass.”

Linda Evagelista was isolated for five years because of an aesthetic procedure that left her “permanently deformed”

One of the most photographed stars in the world, supermodel Linda Evangelista lived for about five years in isolation, away from the public eye. In September 2021 she also confessed the reason: failed aesthetic interventions transformed her. More precisely, an intervention following which she demanded compensation of 50 million dollars from the responsible company.

“It left me permanently disfigured, even after I went through two failed painful corrective procedures. I remained, as the press describes me, unrecognizable”, she confessed.

In February 2022, she posed for People magazine. “I can no longer live like this, hiding and being ashamed,” she also declared. Later, in August 2022, Linda Evangelista did a pictorial for Vogue magazine after revealing that she was left disfigured. “This is not my face in real life, I can’t walk around with bands and elastics all over,” Linda said on Instagram after the photos were published in Vogue magazine.

“I try to love myself as I am,” she also said in the interview given to the magazine. “I think we’re here to create fantasies. We create dreams. I think it is allowed. Also, all my flaws are erased in these photos, so I got to do what I love to do,” the supermodel added.
