She has worked continuously since the beginning, never taking more than a very brief break and successfully keeping a firm hold on the spotlight for more than 20 years. Now that’s what legends are made of!

Who's That Girl?
Naomi Campbell is as legendary as they come. A self-proclaimed diva, larger than life, relentlessly shocking, and beautiful, you can’t help but love to watch her—she is 100% supermodel icon.
Born on May 22, 1970, Naomi was often left with a nanny as a child while her mother, Valerie, traveled Europe with the Fantastica dance troupe to support her daughter. Fifteen years later, while Naomi was on a break from her ballet studies at London’s Academy of Performing Arts, Naomi’s world took a turn. A scout spotted her shopping in Covent Garden and, next thing she knew, she was on her first shoot for Elle, flashing her magnetic smile.
