Black Celebrity News: Naomi Campbell Runs with the Animals

Staff — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 18:40:22 +0000

Supermodel Naomi Campbell was shot by world-renowned photographer Jean-Paul Goude for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar:

In a spread titled "Wild Things," Campbell is running with a cheetah, jumping rope with monkeys and riding a crocodile and an elephant.

After nearly two years of wowing the fashion world, the first lady has earned an honor she so rightly deserves — landing on Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed list.

From Jason Wu to Michael Kors, Obama’s chic-clectic choice of designers anddesigns has set her apart from just about every other first lady in U.S. history. Below are a handful of legendary looks worn by Mrs. Obama that have solidified her as an icon in my book:

The cream-colored frothy one-shoulder Jason Wu stunner she wore for the inauguration galas was regal and feminine — and just right for the occasion.

Her dual-toned knee-length Narciso Rodriguez sheath dress, which she paired with flats on Independence Day, screamed sleek, smart and totally sophisticated.
