Runway icon Naomi Campbell gave a lesson in supermodel star power as she hit the catwalk at the Versace Fall/Winter 2023 Fashion Show in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Campbell, 52 – a fashion industry legend with a career spanning nearly five decades – put on an elegant display in an ankle-length black gown with a halter style and sweetheart neckline.
She was joined by a crop of younger models including Gigi Hadid, 27, Kendall Jenner, also 27, and Emily Ratajkowski, 31.
Mariacarla Boscono, 42 – a supermodel who rose to fame in the early 2000s – also modeled at the show in a turtleneck, long-sleeved top and a flared, A-line skirt.
They all modeled dresses of stunning craftsmanship and detail as they strutted before being jointed by the designer behind the luxury fashion house’s creations.

At the end of the show, designer Donatella Versace, 67, took the stage to accept the applause and praise from the crowd.
The event attracted an incredible crowd, including Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, Dua Lipa, Cher, Pamela Anderson, Lily James and more.
Naomi now juggles her busy modeling career with motherhood, after welcoming her first child last year.
She recently raved about her new life with her daughter, noting how content she feels.
In an interview with People magazine, Naomi said: ‘There’s lots of things [I still want to achieve] but I’m very happy now in my life. I want to be open and share things that I never [shared] before.’
Naomi is gearing up to teach the basics of modelling in a new course for MasterClass and she told the publication she wants to help guide young aspiring models to success.
She added: ‘There was never any type of lesson or book on our business.
Also to let people know we work hard as fashion models. It’s like an art form.’

Naomi also opened up about becoming a mother in a recent interview with UK Vogue magazine, revealing she wanted to keep her baby news secret for as long as possible until she announced it as a big surprise in a post on Instagram.
The model also batted away rumours suggesting her little girl was adopted.
She said: ‘She’s my [biological] child … I can count on one hand the number of people who knew that I was having her. But she is the biggest blessing I could ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.’
Naomi added of her daughter – whose name hasn’t been disclosed: ‘I’m lucky my little one loves to travel like me – no whimpering taking off or landing.
‘She’s a good girl: she sleeps very well, she hardly ever cries and I’m told she’s very alert for her age.
‘She’s just started waving, which is fun. She laughs a lot. She’s almost talking,’ she says, adding, ‘I think she might walk before she crawls. And she’s got six teeth already.’
