Naomi Elaine Campbell (born 22 May 1970)[6] is a British model. Beginning her career at the age of eight, Campbell was one of six models of her generation declared supermodels by the fashion industry and the international press.[7] She was the first black woman to appear as a model on the covers of Time and Vogue France.[8][9]
In addition to her modelling career, Campbell has embarked on other ventures, including an R&B studio album and several acting appearances in film and television. She hosted the modelling-competition reality show The Face and its international offshoots. Campbell is also involved in charity work for various causes. She was banned from being a trustee of any charity in the United Kingdom for five years in September 2024 following a misconduct investigation that determined that her charity spent only 8.5% of its income on charitable grants, while making unauthorised payments such as paying for Campbell's stay at a five-star hotel, as well as spa treatments, room service, security and cigarettes.[10]
