Linda was seen with an unnamed friend, who was wearing a much more casual outfit with a baseball cap, cream chinos and trainers.
The model was just one of the many stars who attended the glitzy event, and was joined by Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and others on the big day.
Karen’s daughter Scarlett Teresa, 18, was her only bridesmaid. In addition to Scarlett, Karen also has a son, Henry Lee White, 17, with her ex-rock musician Jack White.
Karen announced her engagement to Lee in a series of sweet Instagram posts in November 2023. This is Lee’s first marriage.
Linda’s coming out comes almost exactly a year after she claimed her ex-husband Gérald Marie abused her during their five-year marriage.
Speaking about their relationship on Apple TV+’s The Super Models documentary, Evangelista said: ‘I learned that maybe I was in the wrong relationship.
“It’s easier said than done when it comes to leaving an abusive relationship. I understand that concept because I’ve lived it. If it was just a matter of saying ‘I want a divorce, see you later’… it doesn’t work that way.
‘He knew not to touch my face, not to touch the money machine, you know?’

In a statement to Apple TV+, Marie denied the allegations of abuse and said she has “never committed the slightest act of violence.”
Marie’s legal representatives told MailOnline: “Gérald Marie firmly opposes the defamatory and false accusations being made against him. He refuses to take part in this dishonest media controversy.”
Evangelista previously claimed that because of his “own experiences” with Marie, he believed allegations that he raped and sexually assaulted models in the 1980s and 1990s.
Marie was reported to have carried out the crimes while working for the Elite modelling agency, among other agencies in Paris.
