Naomi Campbell

By her early 20s, the Jamaican-Chinese, British born Naomi Campbell had already conquered the fashion world. In the wake of her conquests she set modeling runways and magazine covers ablaze with a sophisticated, sultry style that has made her both a media star and an international celebrity.

After only a few years in the modeling business, she quickly began breaking new ground: Naomi was the first black model to appear on the covers of Time magazine, as well as the French and British Vogue. Since then, she has become a veritable renaissance woman and proved to be exceptional beyond the realm of supermodel.

In 1995 she made her debut as a recording artist with Baby Woman, released by Epic Records. Her release "La La La Love Song," with Japanese singer Toshinobu Kubota, reached No. 1 in Japan. Naomi has also appeared in numerous music videos for such artists as Jay-Z, Prince, Usher, Madonna, and in Michael Jackson's sizzling video "In The Closet," directed by Herb Ritts.

As a side note, in addition to working with Usher, she has also been romantically linked to the performer. Other high-profile men she has been linked to include, Damian Aspinall, Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Eric Clapton, Joaquin Cort?s, and Enrique Palacio.
