Naomi Campbell Adopts Natural Hairdo for NYFW, Social Media Raves Over It

Supermodel Naomi Campbell rocked her natural coils for New York Fashion Week and looked absolutely beautiful. Campbell often sports her middle-parted waist-length tresses, but this time she opted for a more edgy look. The 48-year-old attended Calvin Klein’s runway show with her natural curls pinned up into a ‘fro Mohawk. She also wore a natural face with minimal makeup and a nude brown lip.

Campbell’s new mid-length style had fans gushing, and they noted just how “stunning” she looked at NYFW.

“Everything!!! The hair was exquisite,” said one fan.

Another fan wrote, “Auntie Naomi with the natural hair out. I’m deceased!”

“See how your natural hair makes you look 30 years younger,” expressed an Instagram user.

Social media called Campbell a “cultural innovator” and told over the star to don her “natural curls” more often.

The “Empire” actress spoke out last year about managing her natural hair after suffering from years of hair loss. She said wearing weaves, braids and other styles contributed to her having alopecia and created bald patches in her hair.

“I do take more care of my hair now because I lost all of it with extensions,” Campbell told Evening Standard Magazine during an interview. “I am more careful and I do different things. … Everybody in the world wears wigs. It doesn’t matter anymore. I do what I want, or whatever the job calls for.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
