Naomi Campbell Shares Rare Photo of Her Natural Hair in Cornrows on Instagram
The supermodel is taking a break from her signature straight hair
Naomi Campbell has ditched her signature straight hair once again. The supermodel shared a photo of herself in a new light on Instagram, showing off cornrows.
“Bare it all. ?? ,” she wrote in the caption of the photo, where she was positively glowing. “Done in Kenya ?? #NAOMIAFRICA.” In the last few posts Campbell shared, including the announcement that she was fronting a beauty campaign for Nars, the model had long straight hair.
Campbell has embraced her natural hair texture before, though, as recently as this past New York Fashion Week when she wore curls to take in Raf Simons’ last show for Calvin Klein, for spring 2019 (as pictured above). According to Campbell, she has been wearing natural hair more and more, in part to reverse some of the damage that years of wigs and extensions have done on her head.
“I do take more care of my hair now, because I lost all of it with extensions,” she toldThe Evening Standard in May of 2017. “I am more careful and I do different things.” When asked if her natural hair has grown back after she experienced hair loss, Campbell replied, “Yes. Thank God”.
She also talked about wearing wigs and extensions, saying, “Everybody in the world wears wigs. It doesn’t matter any more. I do what I want, or whatever the job calls for.” As for other kinds of add-ons to her appearance, like Botox and fillers, Campbell said, “If I want to do anything to myself I go pay for it and do it. If I want to do it, I do it. It’s like if I want to get eyelashes, I get them.”
Last fall, Campbell’s hairstylist Ro Morgan talked about the importance of taking breaks from extensions and wigs to allow your natural hair to thrive. “As the name suggests, a weave break is a period of time one removes their hair extensions from their hair and wears their natural hair, whether it’s in its curly state or straightened,” he toldEssence. “People who wear weaves should give themselves a weave break to avoid the risk of traction alopecia. Also, to properly cleanse the scalp and make sure that the health of the hair and scalp is maintained… I believe one should take a weave break every six months or so, for a few weeks.” Morgan has also given his take on Campbell’s latest natural hairstyle: “Her beauty is BEYOND!!!”

Naomi Campbell Re-Wore Her Look From Marc Jacobs’s 1993 Grunge Show
In terms of iconic ready-to-wear collections, Marc Jacobs’s Spring 1993 offering for Perry Ellis ranks high on the list of those that drastically changed the fashion landscape. Instead of sticking to the clean designs that were in vogue at that time, Jacobs tapped the energy of the grunge and punk scene instead, sending out clothes that were decidedly dressed down and shockingly unpolished. (It was such new territory that it eventually got him fired from the label.)
One can’t deny the show was ground-breaking. With supermodels such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Carla Bruni, and Christy Turlington all walking down the catwalk in slip dresses and combat boots, the presentation made the case for edgy, street-driven looks before streetwear was even a thing—and now one of the show’s original supers is bringing that aesthetic back.
Following recent news that Jacobs is re-releasing that same Perry Ellis collection this month — 26 looks will be recreated and sold — Campbell took to Instagram to share an ultimate fashion throwback of herself in the same exact look she originally wore on the runway more than two decades ago. (And she’s never looked better, FYI.) Look 62 was a black and yellow printed wrap dress styled over a white top and finished with leather Dr. Marten boots. A rainbow-striped beanie gave it that artfully clashed feel. As Campbell so masterfully shows here, the outfit was good then — but it’s even more relevant now.
