She may be one of the leading faces in fashion, but Naomi Campbell opted for a reserved outfit to attend the South South Awards.
Naomi,
43, arrived in a fitted black trouser suit, that covered her svelte
figure, apart from revealing a little skin around her cleavage.
As
an active campaigner for charity work in conjunction with heads of
state and world government, Naomi made for a worthy guest at the event
to highlight the global efforts to implement the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and sustainable development around the world.

At the televised gala
held in New York, just as the U.N. General Assembly convenes, Naomi
caught up with some friends from her charity work, including Zindzi
Mandela,
Josina Machel and Princess of Africa Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
The four women all wore black to the
event at The Waldorf Astoria, and Campbell seemed particularly keen to
see Zindzi, who she tweeted a picture of during the event.
But while the most famous black model of her time rubbed shoulders with high-level
government officials, senior United Nations staff, leaders from the
business community and civil society, Naomi still had an eye on the
Primetime Emmy awards, and her fellow model, Heidi Klum's success.

Black is the new black: Josina Machel, Naomi
Campbell, Zindzi Mandela and Princess of Africa Yvonne Chaka Chaka all
wore the same dark colour to the New York event
On Sunday, she tweeted:
'@heidiklum Congratulation to on your Emmy for 'Best TV Reality Host'
last week. You looked great on tonight's show.'
Campbell
has her own fashion show currently on the air, and during London
Fashion Week, the veteran model was recruiting girls from the capital to
appear in The Face.
The
show - much like Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model - aims to find the
fashionable face of tomorrow, and Naomi is also the executive producer,
who is now taking her series to Australia.

And like Tyra, Campbell
might be fronting her own talk show, having been offered her own couch
to chat to celebrities by major U.S. networks.
And
a source close to the model told Mail Online: 'Naomi recently gave a
lot of tough news interviews on the subject of Diversity in Fashion and
she excelled and really found her role as intelligent commentator and
pundit fulfilling.
'She's had offers from Kate Couric, The Today Show and The View for her to be a guest commentator and/or anchor.
'There's even been a major US network approach her for her own talk show.'
