Naomi Campbell cuts a chic figure in a black gown as she parties with Burna Boy at PrettyLittleThing relaunch bash

Naomi Campbell stunned with her striking looks at PrettyLittleThing’s star-studded relaunch party at Caviar Kaspia in Paris last night. 

The fashion model, 54, was joined by other big names including Burna Boy and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. 

PrettyLittleThing’s rebrand comes after the fast fashion retailer removed all content from its social media accounts last week before returning with a range of neutral-coloured clothes in much more conservative styles than it has previously sold. 

This was reflected in the fashion choices of Naomi, who wore a sparkly black jumper and long ruffled skirt at the Legacy in Progress event. 

She paired the items with striking accessories, including a black choker and bracelets, which complemented the model’s wavy locks. 

The entire look was brought together by Naomii’s glittery eye makeup as she danced to Burna Boy’s performance at the event.

Naomi was recently praised for her age-defying looks after her appearances at Paris and Milan Fashion Week. 

The supermodel previously worked with PLT on a 90s-inspired collection designed to encourage the wearer to ‘showcase [their] confident side.’ 

While several pieces have now been removed from the retailer’s website as part of their rebrand, a two-piece suit and white, bodycon dress made the cut to join their new collection. 

The brand, previously fronted by Molly Mae Huge, was previously known for its bright, colourful fast fashion pieces. 

Its famously pink unicorn logo has now been replaced by a stylised black rendering of its name in cursive writing. 

Other stars in attendance at the event who reflected the new direction in their outfit choices were Jasmine Tookes and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. 

Beyond modelling, Naomi is a philanthropist and activist. 

She founded Fashion For Relief in 2005, aiming to raise funds for humanitarian causes by staging runway shows.

However, Naomi was disqualified from being a charity trustee for five years after a watchdog found serious mismanagement of funds at Fashion for Relief, which she founded.

This included using charity funds to pay for her stay at a five-star H๏τel in Cannes, France, as well as spa treatments, room service and cigarettes.

She was one of three of the charity’s trustees to be disqualified as a result of the probe by the Charity Commission, which regulates charities in England and Wales.

At the time, she said she was ‘extremely concerned’ by the regulator’s findings, adding that she was ‘not in control of my charity’ having ‘put the control in the hands of a lawyer’.

A probe into Fashion for Relief was opened by the commission in 2021, with the charity dissolved and removed from the register of charities last year.

It had been set up with the aim of uniting the fashion industry to relieve poverty and advance health and education, by making grants to other organisations and giving resources towards global disasters.

It hosted fundraising events to generate income, including in Cannes and London.

The regulator’s inquiry found that, between April 2016 and July 2022, 8.5% of the charity’s overall expenditure was on charitable grants.

The probe saw no evidence that trustees took action to ensure fundraising methods were in the charity’s best interests, or that the money it spent was reasonable relative to the income it generated.

It also said it found some fundraising expenditure to be misconduct or mismanagement by the charity’s trustees.

This included a 14,800 euro (£12,300) flight from London to Nice for transferring art and jewellery to a fundraising event in Cannes in 2018.

It also looked into the decision to spend 9,400 euros (£7,800) of charity funds on a three-night stay at a five-star H๏τel for Naomi.

Last year the supermodel said she failed in her duties as a trustee and ‘may not have been as actively engaged in the charity’s day-to-day operations as she should have been’.

But she maintained she had not engaged in any financial misconduct or misused the charity during its tumultuous nine years.
