Linda Evangelista, hands hidden in long gloves, returns to the Met Gala after a botched surgery and a ten-year absence.

After returning to the catwalk thanks to Fendi and participating in the supermodel show on Apple TV, Linda Evangelista made a remarkable comeback at the Met Gala. In fact, the former partner of Kyle McLachlan and Fabien Barthez hasn’t been seen at the event since 2015, when she was a very regular guest.

The reason for this long absence. Unsuccessful cosmetic surgery, about which the top model has talked for a long time in recent months. He explained to his Instagram community in September 2021. “To my followers who wondered why I wasn’t working while the careers of my peers were thriving, the reason for this absence is because I was severely disfigured from the CoolSculpting procedure (.Or cryolipolysis cold weight loss method, Editor’s Note), which produced the opposite effect of what I expected. The procedure is said to have “increased, not reduced” her fat cells and “disfigured her body for life”, despite the two “painful and unsuccessful” corrective surgeries she subsequently underwent. Linda Evangelista also faced breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy.

For this grand return to one of fashion’s most important events, she opted for a minimalistic and flawless khaki outfit and long white gloves that hid her hands. Her short bob was accented with a pair of curls by designer Ana Khoury. An imperial look for an icon in graced condition.
