She's been pictured struggling with pain in her foot in recent months following an injury.

And it looks like Naomi Campbell decided to rest her famous supermodel legs as she was wheeled through New York City's JFK airport on Sunday.

The Londoner, 45, was rocking a military-inspired look in khaki-coloured coat and black trousers as she sat in a wheelchair in departures.

Talk about a fashionable duo! Naomi Campbell and Riccardo Tisci were spotted after having lunch together in NYC. The supermodel donned a camo print jumpsuit topped with a feather trimmed fur vest and a beanie hat. She carried a Givenchy bag and completed her look with a pair of Nike Dunk Lux high top sneakers.

The Nightingale bag is a signature style for the French brand and it has such a classic look. We've spotted everyone from Nicole Richie to Hilary Duff to Sienna Miller toting this beauty around.

With her body so important to her career, the 45-year-old wisely knows when to rest her limbs. 

Meanwhile, the supermodel has been reflecting on her three decades in the fashion industry in her new book.

The limited edition book, published by Taschen, will include photographs of Naomi across the years as she recalls the stories behind the images.

In the book, she describes 1997 as 'the worst year of her life' after the death of many friends.

Naomi admits she was saddened when friends Ennis Cosby, John 'The Greek' Chappolis and Michael Hutchence passed away, but was totally devastated after the murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace.

What's so funny? The 45-year-old looked in high spirits as she laughed while leaving Sant Ambroeus Italian restaurant with her fashionable pals

The Italian designer was just 50 when he was shot down on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion in July 1997 by serial killer Andrew Cunanan.

Naomi recalled talking to Diana, Princess of Wales at Versace's funeral, with the British royal ending up dead as well just a few weeks later.

In an excerpt of the book in The Guardian, Naomi wrote: 'It really hit me hard when Gianni Versace died. I’d go out partying and try to numb the pain. But that only made things worse.

'When I got the call that he’d been shot and killed, I was overwhelmed with grief, and in the weeks after I fell into a depression.'
