MAGAZINE GLAM: Naomi Campbell Nude on the Cover of British GQ



Naomi Campbell is one of the most gorgeous specimens in life. It's a distinction she shares with only a few other celebs like Heidi Klum, Iman, Halle Berry and Adriana Lima who are fortunate enough to have stunningly gorgeous features and a perfect body that doesn't age.

That's why, although Naomi's latest GQ cover is beyond beautiful, I cannot fathom why they would photograph her in such an off-putting position. On her knees? It's just a little too over-the-top for me.

There are plenty more tasteful ways to shoot someone artistically in the nude; take Taraji P. Henson's new PETA ad for example. You get the full scope of her gorgeous bod, but not in a ready-made sex position.



Furthermore, it seems the cover story is about Naomi's infamous Blood Diamonds trial and the sexualized tone of the image certainly does not match the serious matter of the crimes, even with the "Naked Truth" title.

But alas, her skin, body and face are truly a work of art, and that's all that matters when it comes to selling covers, isn't it?

What do you think of the cover?



P.S. Do you think Naomi's the last of the Supermodels? Fascinating cover line...

Trend Alert: Celebs like Gabrielle Union and Nia Long Go Tribal for Summer



Celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Nia Long and Taraji Henson are joining the Fashion Tribe this summer in nomadic looks that are attention-grabbing and undeniably chic.



Exotic prints add a touch of worldliness to your everyday ensemble, while giving off a sophisticated, eclectic vibe.

Whether in African geometric patterns or Ikat prints, tribal styles are always the standout piece in your outfit. If you're wearing a tribal dress, pair it with subtle accessories like gold jewelry and plain black pumps. For a solid-colored dress, add a striking pair of ikat-printed earrings to set the outfit off.

Swimwear and accessories are a great way to indulge in the trend if you don't want to go full-force. Mara Hoffman sent some gorgeous styles down the runway during Miami Fashion Week.
