Naomi Campbell transformed the fashion industry with greater cultural representation as she dominated the runways throughout the 1990s. Her long legs, sculpted abs, and jet-black, sleek straight locks became defining elements of her iconography.
Not only did the supermodel command the runway in some of the most coveted pieces in high-fashion history, but she also graced the catwalk in an array of striking designer swimwear looks. From Versace and Dolce & Gabbana to Victoria’s Secret and Pucci, Naomi brought luxury flair to eek triangle bikinis, cut-out one-pieces, and dramatic cover-ups.
Over the years, Naomi’s swimwear agenda has consisted of high-cut bikini bottoms, metallic pieces, sheer sarongs, and micro creations. To celebrate her 56th birthday, HELLO! takes a look back at her most iconic bikini and swimsuit looks to date.
