Naomi Campbell Breaks Down 17 Memorable Looks From 1986 To Now

British Vogue presents Naomi Campbell’s Life in Looks, as the English supermodel takes Vogue through her 17 most memorable looks from her career so far — from her first London Fashion Week appearance for Jasper Conran in 1986 (“I was in total awe to be in this show”) to her lingerie-clad turn on the catwalk for Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn/winter 2024 collection (“it had a very Parisian, Guy Bourdin type of vibe”).

Among the highlights in between? Her 21st birthday look for a party at Laura Belle in New York City (“I believe that I was 10 minutes late, and Madonna might have told me off”); the Versace dress she wore to meet Nelson Mandela; the “Models Suck” t-shirt she wore to make a cameo in Spike Lee’s ‘Girl 6’ (“I was a phone sex operator in the movie”); and… her hazmat suit. Watch the full episode of British Vogue’s Life in Looks, as Naomi Campbell breaks down 17 of her most memorable looks.
