She's one of the world's most iconic supermodels - having soaring to fame in the late eighties.
So it was no wonder that Naomi Campbell arrived on the arms of Edward Enninful, the new editor-in-chief of British Vogue, for the Metropolitan Museum of Art at New York's 5th Avenue for the star-studded Met Gala.
The 46-year-old catwalk queen stunned in a striking black Azzedine Alaïa gown which bared her enviably toned legs, while the OBE honouree flaunted his fashion credentials in a slick suit.

In a sea full of celebrities, Naomi was sure to flaunt her style status in the sexy number which featured a matte black bodice before cinching in her waist with striking silver detailing.
A soaring thigh-high split down one side allowed the photogenic star to exhibit her toned legs, which were boosted in towering black heels.
Ensuring that the structured hemline of the eye-catching dress was a prime focus, Naomi opted to wear her glossy raven locks in a sleek centre-parted bob - complementing her immaculate make-up look.
Edward, 44, also proved to be the perfect accessory, as he looked incredibly dapper in his fitted suit, which he teamed with a crisp white shirt.

Last month, Enninful, who hails from Ghana and is the son of a seamstress, was announced as the new editor of British Vogue, making him the first ever black male editor at the helm of the fashion bible.
He will assume his role on August 1 and Condé Nast International chairman and chief executive, Jonathan Newhouse, says he is 'supremely prepared'.
The theme of this year's Met Gala is Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons, with the focus being on the avant-garde designer's technique with silhouettes, draping and fit.
The 74-year-old Japanese fashion legend is the second ever living designer to be the sole subject of the Met's fashion exhibit since Yves Saint Laurent in 1983.

The glitzy bash, formally known as the Costume Institute Gala, borrows its name from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the location for the annual NYC event.
In 1946, the gala was launched, in a bid to raise money for the Met’s Costume Institute. This year's lucrative fundraiser will see less that 600 glamorous attendees appear. Tickets market for up to $30,000, while tables cost $275,000.
Guests must be personally approved by American Vogue editor and chairwoman of event, Anna Wintour, with former attendees including Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Anne Hathaway, Kanye West and Rihanna.
