The Naomi Campbell method of dressing for a wedding
Time to take notes
Time to take notes
If there’s one thing we’ve learned to expect from supermodels, it’s spectacular fashion. And judging by how on-point their off duty style is, their outfits for fancier occasions is hardly going to go unnoticed, right?
Case in point: Naomi Campbell, who attended her friend Carol Sabbagha’s wedding in Beirut, Lebanon, at the weekend.
For the lavish celebrations at the Chateau Rweiss, she opted for a dramatic silk cut-out dress in a bright shade of turquoise.
The floor-length gown is part of Ralph & Russo’s latest AW17 catwalk collection, as seen at Couture Week. It wouldn’t be right if models didn’t have access to the best clothes, straight from the runway now would it?
Not one for doing things by halves, Naomi accessorised with a sparkling headdress as she posed next to the bride, who herself went for a Grecian design. None of that 'shouldn't be taking limelight away from the bride' nonsense.
To be fair, all the guests were dressed up to the nines, with embroidered, embellished and feathered dresses galore.

Oh, and she also changed into a second, even more dramatic dress later in the evening. This one was a black maxi dress, embroidered with an intricate red motif, by designer Hussein Bazaza.
Just how we like it.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.
However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.
Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
