Israeli singer, actress, and television host Noa Kirel has been trending ever since her recent appearance at the MTV Europe Music Awards on November 13, 2022.
Kirel arrived at the event in an outfit that showed-off her midriff, which also featured Kanye West’s pictures with gold chains, the Star of David, and the Chai symbol. She stated that the outfit choice was to make a statement.
While speaking to Variety, the artist stated:
“I had this idea that came to my head: after all the anti-Semitic things that Kanye said about Jewish people – and I’m Jewish – I knew I had to have something that will be powerful on the red carpet. I really wanted it to be a message and not just a regular outfit. And it takes some nerves, but I think the message was received.”
The outfit was a collaboration between her and Kirel’s stylist Itai Bezaleli. She also revealed that American popstar Taylor Swift also liked it. Speaking on her experience meeting Swift in person, Kirel added:
“When I saw her, she was just sitting there, and you know, I’ve got the Israeli chutzpah, so I was like, I’m going to introduce myself.”
