Naomi Campbell, 54, Looks Chicer Than Ever in Youthful Lilac Mini Dress
Naomi Campbell‘s long-term relationship with Chanel was on full display as she celebrated the French fashion house‘s recent runway show. Now 54, the iconic supermodel looked springy and youthful with a touch of sex appeal as she continued her stay in Paris.
On Tuesday, Campbell joined the likes of Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, model Vittoria Ceretti, singer Camila Cabello, and Monégasque socialite Charlotte Casiraghi at the Chanel Fall/Winter 2025–26 show in Paris. The longtime supermodel turned to recent Chanel couture for her own outfit. She wore a lilac tweed mini dress from the French luxury fashion house’s Spring 2025 show.
Campbell echoed the timeless elegance of Chanel as she paused to wave to fans and paparazzi outside of the historic museum complex, the Grand Palais. The 54-year-old became a regular on Chanel’s runways in the late ’80s and ’90s. Naturally, she knows how to embody the sophisticated brand through her style. Campbell’s iris-colored dress echoed Chanel’s iconic tweed suit. First introduced in the ’50s, the silhouette features a collarless jacket, structured silhouette, and elegant gold buttons.
The British model accessorized with additional Chanel icons, including a twist on the label’s classic beige-and-black slingback pumps, first introduced in 1957. She carried a gold quilted flap bag reminiscent of the first quilted handbag introduced by Karl Lagerfeld. The iconic Chanel purse features a diamond pattern, chain-link strap, and signature CC clasp.
“I really miss his honesty,” Campbell told the Associated Press of Lagerfeld, who died in 2019. “He had a soft spot, but he never sugarcoated anything. We always worked at night, and sometimes, he’d tell me to stay over. It was such an incredible time. His presence is still felt, always.” Campbell was present at Lagerfeld’s final Chanel show before his death, paying tribute to the designer’s legendary career. She continues to support his legacy as the label welcomes a new creative director, Matthieu Blazy, formerly of Bottega Veneta.
Campbell has likely spent much of March in Paris. The mother of two stepped out earlier this month for the Louvre’s inaugural fundraising gala. Reminscent of the Met Gala, Le Grand Dîner du Louvre celebrates the intersection of art and fashion inside the iconic museum. Campbell shared Instagram photos of herself in a black gown and oversized pink coat. She wrote alongside the pics, “All these years of coming to Paris for work, and this was my first time stepping inside the Louvre. It’s been on my bucket list, and I can’t wait to return with my babies for the full experience.”
Sure enough, on Tuesday, Campbell brought her daughter and son to the museum for a private tour. She shared a photo to her Instagram stories, writing that she will “cherish forever” the “unforgettable” experience.
