Noa Kirel, an Israeli singer, actress, and television personality, has been trending since her participation at the MTV Europe Music Awards on November 13, 2022. Kirel showed off her stomach in an attire that also contained Kanye West’s images with gold chains, the Star of David, and the Chai sign. She added that she chose the attire to make a statement.
In an interview with Variety, the artist stated:
“I had this thought: after all the anti-Semitic things Kanye said about Jewish people – and I’m Jewish – I knew I had to have something big on the red carpet.” I really wanted it to convey a statement rather than simply an outfit. And it takes courage, but I believe the message was heard.”
Her attire was designed in conjunction with Kirel’s stylist, Itai Bezaleli. She also said that it was loved by American popstar Taylor Swift. Kirel added on her encounter with Swift in person:
“She was just sitting there when I noticed her, and you know, I’ve got the Israeli chutzpah, so I was like, I’m going to introduce myself.”
