Naomi Campbell's New Daughter British Vogue Cover by Steven Meisel Is Most IG Liked Ever
/In May 2021, supermodel Naomi Campbell welcomed her first child, a daughter whose name will be revealed in Campbell’s upcoming book — that isn’t written yet.
Now nine-months old, the little one made her global fashion debut in the flesh, joining mom on the cover of British Vogue’s March 2022 issue.
“She loves the light," Naomi said about the British Vogue cover fashion shoot. "She’s inquisitive. She was looking at everyone – she looks at people right in the eye and for a very long time. She was taking it all in."
In her interview with Sarah Harris, Naomi explains that her daughter is a total “trooper”, who already has six teeth and all without a whimper. “She’s a good girl: she sleeps very well, she hardly ever cries and I’m told she’s very alert for her age. She’s just started waving, which is fun. She laughs a lot. She’s almost talking,” she says, adding, “I think she might walk before she crawls.”
On social media, the cover was the most liked cover of all time on British Vogue's Instagram account. In our world of social media millions, Naomi’s cover has 538,000 likes as of Saturday morning, Feb. 19.

“I’m always very nervous and quiet when I work with Steven. I’m so focused on becoming something else, something new in his eyes, to understand his direction and be one hundred per cent present,” Naomi shared in speaking of her new British Vogue cover and fashion story.
Naomi Campbell considers Steven Meisel to be one of her closest friends and collaborators, and she’s known him since age 16.
They met in December 1986, in New York. “I walked into Apollo studios and I was like, ‘Wow, this man is beautiful,’” she recalls. “But he’s beautiful inside and out. He’s sharp, effortless. He’s like family to me.”
