Naomi Campbell in her youth
The daughter passed on her flexibility and plasticity to her mother. At the age of 7, the young dancer appeared in one of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love?” videos. And at 10, Campbell began attending ballet school, deciding to follow in her mother’s footsteps.
After her mother’s second marriage, the girl tried to come home later: constant conflicts with her stepfather took their toll. While walking around Covent Garden, the future Black Panther of the catwalk was spotted by a Parisian modeling agency scout, Beth Boldt. A year later, in 1985, Campbell went to film in the capital of France.

Modeling career
In 1986, Naomi Campbell appeared on the cover of Elle. But not only natural beauty, grace and suitable figure parameters (Naomi’s height is 175 cm, weight – 51 kg) were the reasons for the girl’s appearance on the cover of the cult publication. She had to replace a colleague who was absent for the photo shoot. From that moment on, Naomi’s modeling biography began.
Her exotic beauty was noticed, and the 16-year-old girl received many tempting offers. The face of a dark-skinned British woman now appeared on the covers of French Vogue magazine and English Time.
Soon Naomi Campbell became the heroine of the shows of the most famous fashion houses. In her youth, the exotic beauty was invited to demonstrate clothes from Versace, Valentino, Roberto Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana. Because of her cat-like gait, she was called the Black Panther.

In collaboration with Cosmopolitan Cosmetics, Naomi took part in the creation of signature fragrances, which resulted in a line of perfumes and eau de toilette. The perfumes Cat Deluxe, Paradise Passion, Naomi Campbell, Naomi Campbell Mystery and Exult enjoyed great success.
The top model signed a contract with Valentino in 2022, under which she became the official face of the brand. Naomi walked the catwalk at the Fashion for Relief fashion show, which took place at the British Museum.
It is not something special for a beauty to appear in public in a swimsuit or without it at all. In 2022, Valentino published black and white photographs on social networks dedicated to the model’s 50th birthday, where she posed nude on the New York subway.
Naomi's early years
Naomi's entire biography is a story of rapid career growth, an incredible breakthrough of a girl with dark skin in the modeling world. The model was born into the family of a black dancer. Naomi's mother was constantly on the road due to tours, so her daughter had to stay with her grandmother or a nanny.
Naomi never dreamed of becoming a model. After all, dark-skinned girls faced severe discrimination in any public activity, especially in show business. Therefore, the girl became a dancer. At the age of seven she began studying ballet.
Music
In 1995, the British model made her debut as a singer. One of her singles entitled La, La, La Love Song reached number 1 on the Japanese charts. The same year, Naomi Campbell's album Babywoman was released.
The supermodel has appeared in music videos of such famous artists as Michael Jackson, Jay Z, Madonna and George Michael.
Along with other stars, Campbell starred in the video for Beyoncé's visual album Black Is King. According to the singer, it is about people who find themselves in the most powerless situation, but who have outstanding talents.
Naomi Campbell became a mother at 50
Back in 2022, the British fashion model stated that she was in no hurry to start a family and could rely on science in these matters. In May 2021, Naomi's multi-million army of Instagram followers was incredibly surprised by the photograph and caption of the British fashion model herself. From this it became obvious that Naomi Campbell became a mother by relying on science. However, whether this was surrogacy or some other method of pregnancy is, of course, not disclosed.

A beautiful little blessing chose me to be her mother. It is such an honor to have this gentle soul in my life, and there are no words to describe this lifelong bond that I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love.

Campbell got her first big movie role in 1978 in the film “The Chiffy Kids.” After this, proposals poured in one after another. In total, the star's track record includes 31 films. The most recognizable to the general public are films
- "Karma";
- "American Horror Story";
- "Captive of Love";
- "Miami Rhapsody"
- "The Prince of Bel-Air."
It is worth emphasizing that the model starred in the film “American Horror Story” in season 5. Naomi got a role that was close to her everyday life. The celebrity played the editor of a fashion publication, a role that everyone remembered.
Videos in which the famous model starred
In addition to films, the model often starred in videos of famous artists such as Madonna, Jay-Z and P Diddy. Campbell made her acting debut at the age of 7. Then she first appeared in the video for the song “Is This Love” by Bob Marley as a young dancer.

Scandals

There is a known case of feud between the British model and her younger US colleague Tyra Banks.

Banks was surprised by the attitude of Naomi, who did everything possible to get Tyra to leave the modeling business.

In 2007, the model's frantic temper led her to anger management courses and 5 days of community service. This is how the court punished Naomi for beating the maid. But apparently the punishment and courses didn’t really help, because the next year she spat at a law enforcement officer at the airport.
The model was accused of getting into a fight with her young colleague Cara Delevingne at a party in Paris in 2015. However, representatives of both sides denied the spread information about the clash.
Walk of the Black Panther
To avoid unnecessary quarrels at home with her stepfather, the girl did not go home after school, but walked through the streets, parks and squares.
At the age of 15, Naomi had a meeting that changed her whole life. In one of the parks, Beth Boldt, an employee of the Elite agency, saw the girl, assessed her figure and invited her to a model casting. Naomi passed the test with dignity and became an agency model. The exotic beauty was immediately appreciated by advertisers and glossy publications. In 1985, Campbell flew to Paris for her first photo shoot. The whole family accompanied the girl to France, in which agreement reigned for a moment. All scandals with my stepfather were forgotten. However, the calculating Naomi behaved calmly only so that her parents would not forbid her to fly to Paris. A year later, the girl appeared on the cover of the famous Elle magazine.
She got there by accident. A certain dark-skinned model was unable to come to the photo shoot and was replaced by Campbell. By the way, Naomi was the first black girl to appear on the cover of a famous publication. The girl’s exotic beauty attracted the powers that be in the fashion world and, starting in 1988, the model began to regularly participate in shows, as well as receive tempting offers. By the way, she also became the first black model whose photograph was published on the cover of TIME, French and English VOGUE.
With Vladislav Doronin
Naomi Campbell began to constantly appear on the covers of a variety of publications, including erotic content. The girl became the heroine of shows of such famous fashion houses as Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Versace.
By the way, Naomi was given the nickname “Black Panther” not because of her skin color, but because of her flexible, soft, “cat-like” manner of walking along the catwalk.
Personal life
Campbell's personal life is extremely busy. Her name is associated with many famous men. In the late 1980s, the model dated Mike Tyson. There were rumors about her short affair with Sylvester Stallone.
Naomi had a longer affair with Spanish dancer Joaquin Cortez. When Cortez left the girl, she was depressed for a long time. A relationship with a new guy, musician Adam Clayton, helped the British model return to her former life.
Among Naomi's former lovers, the names of Eric Clapton and Prince Albert are mentioned. After an affair with him, the model was convicted of drug addiction, from which she got rid of it for six months in a specialized clinic.

Naomi Campbell and Vladislav Doronin
Naomi once admitted to reporters that she prefers older men who are independent and show fatherly qualities. This probably explains her marriages to Robert De Niro and Flavio Briatore, who gave his beloved a yacht.
A separate page in Naomi’s personal life was her affair with the Russian oligarch Vladislav Doronin. For Campbell’s sake, he even left his wife, and the supermodel, because of her Russian boyfriend, was ready to stay in Moscow and convert to Orthodoxy in order to marry him in church.
In 2011, all the tabloids started talking about their engagement and that Naomi would soon have a Russian husband. But the wedding never happened. In 2012, it became known that Vladislav and Naomi broke up, and in 2013, representatives of the model officially announced the breakup.
Later it became known that Doronin was preparing an expensive wedding gift for Naomi - a house in Barvikha, built in the shape of a yacht by British architect Zaha Hadid.

Naomi Campbell gave birth to a daughter,
Supermodel, and today pays special attention to her career. The official website features a gallery of her exquisite photos. Naomi also has her own page on Instagram, where she covers the latest news from her creative life.
In the spring of 2021, the star showed the public her own villa, located in Kenya, in the city of Malindi. Having visited there for the first time in 1994, the model fell in love with the local flavor and eventually acquired real estate there.
Until 2022, the beauty had a prosperous and stable life, but one thing was missing from her - children. In mid-May, Naomi announced on her Instagram account that she had become a mother. Campbell gave birth to her first child at age 50. The identity of the father and the details of motherhood remained a mystery to fans.
Naomi's Lemon Diet
Naomi Campbell has always stood out for her beautiful figure. In addition to the fact that the model has received beautiful forms from nature, she plays sports and watches her diet.
The celebrity's weight loss technique is based on lemonade. Naomi Campbell's diet lasts for 10 days. During this period, the model lost weight up to 9 kg. The key to a positive result is that you need to drink 6-10 glasses of lemonade a day + non-carbonated mineral water. During these 10 days, solid food is prohibited.

Lemonade recipe
The composition includes 250 ml of water, two tablespoons each of maple syrup and lemon juice, 1/6 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Each time you need to prepare a fresh portion of lemonade.
Appearance and style
A beautiful face and slender body are advantages in themselves, but what makes them shine is the model’s excellent taste and style developed over the years. Over the years of work in the fashion industry, the latter’s special elements have become capes, feathers and fringes, dresses shimmering with a metallic sheen, and clothes that hug the figure like a second skin.
Did you know that Naomi Campbell's long, chic dark brown hair is a wig?!
And this is what she looks like without it... Posted by Gennadiy Stoyanov on Monday, December 24, 2018
Naomi Campbell without a wig
Naomi Campbell does not hide the fact that she wears wigs both on the catwalk and in everyday life. This is a necessary measure: her hair is weak and brittle and is constantly falling out. The supermodel tries not to allow paparazzi to photograph her without a wig or makeup.
It is known from foreign media that the celebrity resorted to nose surgery and liposuction. Attentive observers are confident that over time, Naomi’s facial features have become more graceful. Campbell herself has not commented on rumors about plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery Naomi Campbell
If you compare the photos of an adult and a young Naomi, it becomes clear that she was given a unique eye shape, large lips and a beautiful face shape by nature.
The only difference is the nose. Children's photos show that the girl has a wide wing with large wings - typical of the Negroid race. Apparently, Naomi had rhinoplasty, because now her nose is in perfect shape.
Rumors about liposuction are just rumors. After all, throughout her entire life, the model has never gained weight to the point of needing to lose weight.
The only problem is Naomi's hair. Due to constant styling, they became thinner and began to fall out a lot. That's why the girl wears wigs. She loves to change styles and appears in a new look every time.
Naomi herself says that her beauty is hard work that she has to do every day. She regularly visits a cosmetologist and does home care to maintain healthy and elastic skin.
Not long ago, the model decided to start leading a healthy lifestyle. She no longer drinks alcohol or goes to clubs. Now it has become easier for her to maintain her ideal appearance in order to remain at the top of the modeling business.
