Today is Naomi Campbell‘s 50th birthday. Having spent the past few hours scrolling through images of the supermodel we can confirm two things: one, the woman can pull off a naked dress like nobody else, and two, she doesn’t appear to have aged at all. From the late nineties to early noughties to now, Campbell has continued to turn heads with every appearance. In celebration of her milestone birthday, we’re taking a look back at 50 of her best looks from across the decades – from her iconic Vivienne Westwood plaid moment to every Met Gala red carpet she’s ever stepped foot on and everything in between, there’s been no shortage of major moments.
