44 years ago today, a catwalk queen was born. Today is legendary supermodel Naomi Campbell‘s birthday and there’s no denying she’s as fabulous as ever, not to mention she doesn’t look a day over 29. #werque. The UK-born diva has shown us how to walk, talk, throw shade, and in some cases, cell phones. She continues to be a muse to designers and editors and inspires us to be confident queens that don’t take smack from anyone.
Her reputation might be dubious to some, but we like to think of Naomi as a stern mother who is in charge of her s**t. Happy Birthday, Naomi, here’s 20 reasons why we’re celebrating:
