Naomi Campbell Covers US Vogue After 27 Years

Naomi Campbell shows no signs of slowing down! The model, who celebrated her 50th birthday this year, radiates all kinds of angelic beauty for November’s Issue of Vogue Magazine.

Check out the gorgeous snaps below…

It’s been 27 years since Campbell last graced the cover of US Vogue. During the time that has passed since, she has become one of the most renowned and sought-after models in the world.

And if there is one thing that makes Naomi such an icon (beyond her ability to effortlessly light up the runway), it’s her outspoken, ‘truth telling’ nature which has inspired models around the globe and changed the fashion industry forever.

Dazzling on the magazine’s cover in an all-white Dior gown, Campbell speaks to truth as always within its pages, detailing her advocating for Black models, racism and injustice.

She shares:

“I never used to say the word racism; I just used to say, it’s territorialism. I never wanted people to say that I used that as an excuse, that I was throwing that word out. Now I’m happy that everyone’s all on the same page, that everyone feels comfortable to come out about their experiences without feeling some stigma. But for me, nothing’s changed. I’m going to speak the same way.”

Speaking on racism in both American and British media, the provocateur shared with the magazine:

“I’d rather have racism be right in front of my face and know what I’m dealing with, than to have it suppressed. No disrespect to the country I was born in, but we need to dig it up and bring it up and deal with it. No more chucking it down the sides.”

Going on, she confidently states her thoughts of racial injustice:

“I absolutely believe we are going to get the positive outcome we deserve, but we have to do our work in making sure we get it. I think reparations are important for the people to really see that this is something that’s been taken seriously.”
