C.on the Met Gala 2022 in sight, the other events are likely to take a back seat. Of course, not if she is the guest of honor Naomi Campbell: the Prince’s Trust Gala held in New York, the annual kermesse in favor of the charity founded by Prince Charles of England himself, shines thanks to the presence, above all, of the black Venus.
Naomi Campbell, look in purple for charity
The red carpet, in the exclusive location of the restaurant Cipriani on 25 Broadway to support the non-profit association that helps young people find jobs. But between Gigi and Bella Hadid, Kate Moss and Phoebe Dynevor, Lionel Richie and David Thomas, it was especially her to shine. The new mother Naomi, 51, princely starting from the dress to get to the movements, wrapped in a long dress of Valentino custom made from the decided point of lilac.
Like a princess
If the shade is among the most popular of the Spring-Summer 2022, the ensemble is classic and elegant, as required by the official occasion. A winning look repeats itself: in 2019 the supermodel, at the same event, was always dressed in Valentino purple.
Today she opts for a structured long dress, distinguished by long off-shoulder sleeves showing the shoulder blades, and a wide corolla skirt. To enhance the outfit, a set of dangle earrings distinguished by brilliant emeralds, a decorated bangle and a diamond choker, in addition to décolleté with platform Tango of the aubergine-colored Maison.

Former global ambassador of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust Since September 2021, Naomi Campbell, a fervent activist, is a friend of the Royal House. And she proves once again that she knows how to dress different clothes according to the occasion. The choice of Royal purple it is not only trendy (Very Peri, the Pantone 2022) but also a tribute to the Crown, considering that it is one of the most worn shades by Kate Middleton & Co. – often combined with greenery.
Naomi Campbell, look in white for the funeral
Regale also appeared the next day, with a look perfectly in line for the occasion, despite the fact that the appointment was not the easiest: the commemoration for the death of André Leon Talley, which occurred in January 2022 for a heart attack, at the age of 73. The death of the well-known journalist has deeply shaken his circle, that is a good part of the fashion system. And so here appears, between Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour, also Naomi Campbell, the longtime friend, wrapped in a white fur worn on a sheath dress in the same color, characterized by a large slit. Accessories: the bag with chain, the belt at the waist, the sandals with metallic details, the multiple gold chain choker and a fascinator in her hair – just to emphasize her British origins.

Moved, with elegance
The signed total look Schiaparelli worn by Naomi Campbel, in the same color as the flowers and the handkerchief to wipe away the tears of emotion. Marriage or funeral honors? The choice of style is surprising: the total white it is certainly not the easiest look to master for a funeral, but by focusing on a personal outfit, the fashion icon demonstrates that you can wear any outfit, on any occasion.
Ideas of style, from the solidarity gala to the last farewell: all that remains is to wait for Naomi’s participation in the Met Gala 2022, very likely considering her presence in the Big Apple. She will also perfectly play the hateful theme of the Gilded Glamor?
