Naomi Campbell stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday evening for dinner at Catch restaurant, and was immediately accosted by autograph-hungry fans.

And the gracious beauty obliged by stopping and signing a few pieces of paper for her revelers, looking as classic as ever.

The star wore a midnight blue velvet ensemble, which hung gracefully off her slight frame, and added to the sleek look by wearing her glossy raven tresses to trickle down past her shoulders, straightened to perfection.

She finished the look with an intricate headpiece of shiny black jewels and a copper chain that ran along her centre-parting.

Fashion statement: Naomi Campbell looked sleek as she stopped to sign autographs in LA... following her reminder to the world that she was also once attacked in Paris similarly to Kim Kardashian

The exotically regal look was competed with a splash of crimson on her pouty lips. 

The 46-year-old supermodel has been doing the rounds in LA during her time in the states, and has appeared on US TV to discuss matters surrounding George Michael's untimely death and Kim Kardashian's Parisian robbery.

'I sympathise with [Kardashian] a lot,' she told talk show host Wendy Williams. 'In 2012 I was attacked in Paris. They followed me from the airport. They attacked me.

'They opened my car door and said, "Naomi Campbell, we're going to kill you!"'

Unlike Kardashian, Campbell kept the ins and outs of her ordeal out of the press, and has opted to remain private about what exactly took place.

But with the similarities between the two incidents - both being in Paris, both being with high-profile people, both involving death threats - Campbell clearly felt the desire to share.

At the time of the attack, Campbell was travelling to Azzedine Alaïa’s house - who is a designer - for a dinner.

The robbers approached the model outside Alaïa’s shop - which is connected to his home - and it transpires her driver was in on it.

The employees at Alaïa’s store eventually saved her, but not before Campbell stood her ground.

Despite the death threats, the feisty star revealed that adrenaline made her fight against the would-be thieves.

'You decide in a very split moment "am I going to let this guy take my bag with all my passports, or am I going to fight for it?" And my decision was, I am not letting my bag go.'

She elaborated also on the organised crime in Paris that she feels both she and Kardashian were subjected to.

'It’s a whole ring that’s been happening for a few years now, so I very much sympathize with [Kardashian] and I felt for her right away,' Campbell added.

Following Kardashian's incident - which took place in October - rumours began to circulate that it had been a PR stunt.

'I hated hearing these stories that it wasn’t true,' Campbell said. 'It was absolutely true and it happened to me and it’s happened to a few other people.'

Spilling the beans: Kardashian has reappeared on her social media accounts over the past 24 hours and further details are thought to be aired about the state of things on the forthcoming season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, due to broadcast in March

Kardashian's constant presence on social media came to a grinding halt following the incident and she went underground for the remainder of 2016.

Things then got worse for her as her husband Kanye West appeared to experience some form of a breakdown.

But Kardashian has reappeared on her social media accounts over the past 24 hours and further details are thought to be aired about the state of things on the forthcoming season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, due to broadcast in March.

Meanwhile, Campbell also commented on the death of pop star George Michael, who was found deceased at his Oxfordshire home on Christmas Day.

Having famously appeared in Michael's iconic Freedom '90 video, Campbell revealed on Wednesday that she's still grieving for the star.

The London-born beauty told America's Loose Women-esque chat show The View: 'I’m very sad that he’s not here. Gone too soon.'
