Campbell said she’d boycott the Costume Institute gala at the Met last night not because rival mannequin Kate Moss was co-chairing but because her dear friend, designer Azzedine Alaia, wasn’t invited. A rep of the diva said, “Naomi, having supported this gala event for many years, planned to attend this year and even purchased a table. However, as she does not wish to be disloyal to Alaia . . .” But a spy said, “Please. She only decided not to go after Karl Lagerfeld decided against going.” We also hear that Campbell had her own “Supermodel” party Sunday night at her Time Warner Center apartment and that Vogue’s Hamish Bowles showed up “begging her to come to the Met.” Campbell’s rep didn’t comment, and a Vogue rep didn’t return calls. Meanwhile, Linda Evangelista told us, “I’m not able to attend. I will be there in spirit.”
