When she loves a designer, she sticks with them. Naomi Campbell knows who dresses her well, and whose dresses make her look gorgeous.Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli and... Azzedine Alaia. The latter a firm favourite of the super of all super models. Usually long, dramatic but still ultra sleek, she's worn them all from Alaia. She hasn't been modelling for nearly 30 years to not wear what she wants now, has she?Here is Naomi at The Novak Djokovic Foundation London gala dinner on Tuesday evening. Layered and long, Naomi stands tall in this Alaia dress, but what do some of my blogger friends think?
***Laetitia from Mademoiselle Robot***
I LOVE Alaia, and I love Naomi, and she obviously can wear anything and make it look like a million bucks, but I am not sold on this outfit. It sort of looks like one of those crazy flamenco dolls you would buy in an airport. I feel like I probably shouldn't say that as I may get phones hurled at my face, but I am gonna just go out and say it: Naomi, SHOW US YOUR PINS, and don't dress up like a weird mermaid.
***Emily from Fashion Foie Gras***
Call the merchant marines, there's a mermaid on dry land! Sorry, that's all I could think of when I saw this. What a tall drink of water Naomi is in this dress. I want to hate it, but somehow Naomi makes it work. She must be the only living being that can, but she does! Oh that lucky woman... being able to wear anything!
***Danielle from Fashionista Barbie***
I love Naomi, she is just simply stunning and she looks statuesque in this gorgeous gown, which I don't think anyone other than a supermodel could have pulled off. It also works perfectly with her silver and emerald drop earrings. Saying that though I would love to see her wearing something other than black or white on the red carpet.
***And Moi...***
This dress screams confidence to me. Body confidence, fashion confidence and critic confidence. I've heard a lot said about this dress, I can't wait to hear Joan Rivers' Fashion Police verdict, but I have to say she's never looked more statuesque. The layering for some would be too much, but it gives her a magical, floaty look. It works her height to the absolute MAX. You don't get to be called a super model for nothing - "make the dress sell", Alaia probably told her.
