Naomi Campbell may be one of the world’s most recognizable supermodels, but she wasn’t quite looking like herself in a recent Instagram post.

The British fashion staple posted a bare-faced photo on her social media platform Tuesday, March 27 but fans weren’t pleased when they saw an apparently photoshopped version of the 5’9 stunner’s nose.

“Girlfriend. I love you Naomi but if you’re gonna post photoshopped photos, let them be subtle,” someone suggested.

“Why they PHOTOSHOPED YOUR *NOSE* ?, the ORIGINAL PIC WITH *YOUR REAL NOSE* ( With your real skin texture by the way, and your little perfection) is EVEN BETTER!,” one person said.

“It was a good photo before,” someone else said. “Photoshopped tho. Why?”

“Disappointing the Queen herself.. tragic,” another remarked.

“You are beautiful but where is your nose??,” one person stated.

Still, others were smitten by the image, declaring her a “natural beauty.”

“PROOF…BLACK DONT CRACK! Perfection ❤” wrote one commenter.

Another said, “So stunningly beautiful xxxx.”

“We want your skincare routine Naomi!!!” another pleaded.

The original photo, styled by Patti Wilson, saw Campbell’s nose more prominent and her skin tone a little more uneven. Campbell has not responded to the backlash, however, she’s opened up twice about her body insecurity.

While speaking to Good Morning Britain in February, she said it “took me years for me to feel comfortable doing lingerie.” Five years before, she disclosed that she can feel insecure on the runway, too — despite having decades of experience.

“I’m not actually very confident,” she said on an episode of “The Face.” “I never want to be sure of myself, because I think if I get to that place, I’ll never do another show.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
