Alongside the picture, she wrote: 'freethenipple', in reference to the campaign first started by Demi Moore's daughter Tallulah Willis, whose topless pictures were removed from Instagram.

And it wasn't long before Naomi herself was censored - with the site taking down her snap within a few hours.

Explaining themselves following a previous outcry over a ban on artistic nudes, a spokesperson for the site said:  'We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don’t allow nudity on Instagram.'

Cutting a dash as she appeared at the city's famous Carnegie Hall, the catwalk star wowed onlookers in her choice of attire.

Opting for a silver, chainmail-inspired top - which she wore without a bra - the London-born beauty mixed it with a revealing skirt, which showed off her legs.  

Capping the outfit  with a pair of intricate heels, she certainly commanded attention.

Naomi made the trip across the Irish Sea to unveil her new project - she's been named as the face of Newbridge Silverware.

Talking at the press conference, the charity campaigner said: 'I’ve known about Newbridge for a while.

'We’ve been talking since the beginning of the year and I also know about Newbridge because I used to live in Dublin and I know the craftsmanship and the work and the designs. The craftsmanship that goes into what you do is amazing.'
