In the glittering aftermath of the National Television Awards, all eyes weren't just on the winners, but on style maven and business powerhouse Molly-Mae Hague, who handled a potential social media storm with inimitable poise.
The 24-year-old Creative Director of PrettyLittleThing found herself at the centre of online chatter after the official NTA Instagram account was accused of deliberately cropping her out of a group photo featuring fellow Love Island alumni. The post, which included winners Indiyah Polack and Siannise Fudge, conspicuously placed Molly-Mae just outside the frame.
Rather than fire off a heated retort, Molly-Mae demonstrated her signature grace. She simply liked the post, a subtle yet powerful acknowledgment that spoke volumes about her character, refusing to be drawn into any manufactured drama.
Vogue Williams's Playful Poke
The plot thickened when presenter and podcaster Vogue Williams, married to former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, appeared to take a light-hearted swipe. After the NTAs, Vogue shared a screenshot of a headline declaring her own podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, the 'Number 1 podcast in the UK & Ireland'.
She captioned it with a seemingly innocuous: "Oh hello... @mtgmpodcast Number 1 podcast in the UK & Ireland. Just letting a few people know..." Fans were quick to interpret this as a cheeky reference to Molly-Mae's own podcast, which had previously used similar celebratory language.
Again, Molly-Mae took the high road. There was no clapback, no defensive post—just silence, allowing her immense success and dedicated fanbase to speak for itself.
A Night of Unshakeable Style
Beyond the whispers, Molly-Mae's real statement was her show-stopping appearance. She commanded attention on the red carpet in a breathtaking black satin gown by YSL, accessorised with dazzling diamonds, solidifying her status as a bona fide fashion icon.
Her presence at the event, supporting close friends and celebrating the reality TV genre that launched her career, was a testament to her loyalty and professionalism. While others might thrive on controversy, Molly-Mae Hague continues to prove that true influence is exercised with elegance, letting success be the ultimate retort.
