14 DAY TRIAL // For most of us, fiery supermodel Naomi Campbell is a symbol of everything ultra-fashionable: designer clothes and shoes, trendy accessories and an overall impeccable look from head to toe: nothing unusual so far - we are, after all, talking about a world-famous supermodel who has fashionable friends and travels the world attending high-profile events for a living. Of course, we're all familiar with Naomi's long history of violence and her anger-management problems are no longer a secret to anyone - however, when it comes to looks and grooming, Naomi has almost always looked picture perfect. A recent wild night of partying in Cannes just changed all that.
The model celebrated her 38th birthday last week and was thrown a birthday party at club Baoli in Port Canto by celebrated designers Domenico Dolce and Stefan Gabbana, who also acted as hosts to the other celebrities who attended, which included Naomi's equally feisty ex-boyfriend P-Diddy. Although she started the evening looking absolutely stunning in a D&G silver glitter mini party frock, Naomi left the club at three in the morning barely able to walk and had to be half-carried out by her friends. The embarrassing part however came when the eagerly waiting photographers snapped several photos of Naomi's head: the model's long hair extensions hung limply around her face, exposing a rather wide parting and what looked like a bald patch.
Naomi's rather risqu? fashion blunder - or her major "bad hair night" disaster - goes to show that in the end, as deceiving as they may be, appearances can only be kept up for that long. When a world famous supermodel goes from the ultimate party chic to a bald-looking drunk barely able to stand up straight, you can't help agreeing that the "star" status - as over-hyped as it may be - does impose certain rules on those fortunate enough to enjoy it. The impeccable appearance ranks high up there, along with "money" and "fame" - for all the obvious reasons. However, it looks like someone forgot to let Naomi know that a supermodel with a bald patch may be only human, but it definitely will not be treated as such by her peers.
