Naomi Campbell teases huge music plans after gatecrashing DJ set in Kings Cross
Supermodel icon Naomi Campbell has revealed she has more than a duet with Miley Cyrus up her sleeve as she prepares to unleash her long held music chart ambitions
Naomi Campbell stunned members of the public when she rocked up to crash the DJ set of a street performer. The iconic 55-year-old supermodel has been dipping her toes into the world of music and has been promoting her upcoming new work.
On Wednesday, the catwalk star, joined by former Vogue magazine editor Edward Enninful, travelled to King's Cross where social media sensation DJ AG was performing a set. With a huge crowd already around the DJ, fans began screaming with even more excitement when they noticed Naomi approaching the decks.
A stunned DJ AG asked the pair: "What brings you to King's Cross? What's going on?" With Edward, 53, replying; "We heard you were here and we wanted to hang out with you. We've been seeing you everywhere."
Naomi then said: "We were going to the Tate and I was like, 'No, we've got to stop! We've got to stop!'" Handling the A List stars with confidence and ease, AG then asked Naomi about her own upcoming music projects.
She beamed: "Tomorrow, actually, my video comes out with Miley Cyrus, yeah. We're actually working on the remix, right now." He then asked her why they couldn't remix the track in King's Cross, and the model promised: "I'll come back."
And it appears Naomi has grand plans for her fledgling music career. She teased: "I've been producing and I will be on some other tracks, and having fun with music... I've decided I'm living my life. I'm living."
DJ AG agreed, saying: "And that's how it should be, because life is too short, right?" The trio also highlighted the fact that Edward is launching his own magazine, called 73 Magazine, in September - with Naomi praising him for his work at Vogue in the past.
Naomi has recorded a disco track titled Every Girl You've Ever Loved - providing her vocals on the single by Miley Cyrus. The pair sparked a sensation this week when they attended a music shop together to sign copies of the track for fans.
Many fans stood in line for hours to meet the A List stars - but fans noticed Miley and Naomi were more interested in chatting to each other than interacting with fans.
Photos from the event went viral as disheartened fans stood by glumly as the celebrities carried on with their business seemingly without looking up. Naomi's collaboration with Miley is not her first foray into the world of music.
As an iconic model, she has been associated with music, thanks to appearances in music videos with the likes of Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, and George Michael. She sang with Vanilla Ice in a special version of his single Cool as Ice (Everybody Get Loose), and also featured on the Toshinobu Kubota single La La La Love Song.
She released the album Baby Woman in 1994 but the record was met with negative reviews and failed to crack the music charts. However the NME did award her something of a backhanded compliment.
Their review stated: "Naomi Campbell's debut singing effort is stubbornly not as bad as it should be. Her voice is an inoffensive, ineffectual whining alto, but that's not a problem."

Anna Wintour to step aside as editor of American Vogue
Dame Anna Wintour is to step aside from her role as the day-to-day editor of American Vogue, with the magazine hiring a new head of editorial content. British-born Dame Anna will remain in charge of Vogue globally and as chief content officer of the media company Conde Nast – which oversees several prominent media brands including Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, Allure, Conde Nast Traveler and Wired. The new role at American Vogue will allow her to turn her full attention to her other duties in these roles, it is understood. Dame Anna broke the news to staff during a meeting earlier on Thursday. According to Vogue, she told staff she wanted to 'help the next generation of editors storm the field with their own ideas'. She said: 'Anybody in a creative field knows how essential it is never to stop growing in one's work. When I became the editor of Vogue, I was eager to prove to all who might listen that there was a new, exciting way to imagine an American fashion magazine. 'Now, I find that my greatest pleasure is helping the next generation of impassioned editors storm the field with their own ideas, supported by a new, exciting view of what a major media company can be. And that is exactly the kind of person we need to now look for to be HOEC for US Vogue.' She said many of her responsibilities would continue including 'paying close attention to the fashion industry and the creative cultural force that is our extraordinary Met Ball', and also quipped: 'And it goes without saying that I plan to remain Vogue's tennis and theatre editor in perpetuity.' Dame Anna added: 'But how thrilling it will be to work alongside someone new who will challenge us, inspire us, and make us all think about Vogue in a myriad of original ways.' The move brings a close to Dame Anna's 37-year stint as editor of American Vogue, having overseen the day-to-day editing of the New York fashion magazine since 1988. The British-American editor is widely regarded as one of the most powerful women in publishing and as a major figure in the fashion world. Dame Anna has also run the Met Gala, an annual fundraiser in New York famous for its celebrity guest list, since 1995. Earlier this year, Dame Anna was made a member of the prestigious Order of the Companions of Honour for her services to fashion, joining Dame Judi Dench, Sir Elton John, David Hockney, and Sir Paul McCartney. The order was founded in 1917 by George V and is limited to 65 members at any one time. Appointments go to those who have made a long-standing contribution to arts, science, medicine or government. Following the investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, Dame Anna said she did not intend on retiring anytime soon. She said: 'The last time I was here the Queen gave me a medal and we both agreed that we had been doing our job a very long time, and then this morning His Majesty asked me if this meant I was going to stop working and I said firmly, no.' Dame Anna is rumoured to have inspired a former personal assistant, Lauren Weisberger, in creating the character of Miranda Priestly for her bestselling 2003 novel The Devil Wears Prada. The book was made into a successful movie in 2006, starring Meryl Streep in the role of Priestly.

Dame Anna Wintour steps back as American Vogue editor-in-chief after 37 years
Dame Anna Wintour is stepping down as American Vogue editor-in-chief after 37 years. The British-born editor broke the news to the magazine's staff at a meeting on Thursday, announcing that a new role, head of editorial content, would be introduced. The longtime Vogue powerhouse isn't leaving the publication entirely, though. She will remain global editorial director of Vogue and chief content officer for its publishing house, Conde Nast. Whoever lands the role of head of editorial content will report directly to Dame Anna, who will continue to oversee all of Conde Nast's brands, including Vanity Fair and GQ, except for The New Yorker. According to Vogue, Dame Anna told staff at Thursday's meeting she wanted to "help the next generation of editors storm the field with their own ideas". "Anybody in a creative field knows how essential it is never to stop growing in one's work," she said. "When I became the editor of Vogue, I was eager to prove to all who might listen that there was a new, exciting way to imagine an American fashion magazine. "Now, I find that my greatest pleasure is helping the next generation of impassioned editors storm the field with their own ideas, supported by a new, exciting view of what a major media company can be." As well as editing US Vogue, Dame Anna has run the annual Met Gala since 1995, raising more than $300m (£220m) for the fashion wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She landed the top job at American Vogue in 1988 following a three-year stint editing the British version. In her 37 years at the magazine, she transformed the title by featuring celebrities on the cover and mixing high fashion with more affordable street style. She was given a Damehood for her services to fashion earlier this year. Following the investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, Dame Anna said she did not intend to retire anytime soon. She said: "The last time I was here, the Queen gave me a medal and we both agreed that we had been doing our job a very long time, and then this morning His Majesty asked me if this meant I was going to stop working, and I said firmly, no."

Who will replace Anna Wintour as the next editor of Vogue? Fashion editors and nepo babies top the list
After news broke that Anna Wintour is stepping down from one of her roles at Vogue after 37 years, the fashion world was left desperately trying to figure out who would take the reins. On Thursday, Wintour, 75, told staffers that she will be hiring a new head of editorial content at American Vogue. She will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report to her. When Wintour shared the news with the Vogue staff that the title would soon be seeking a head of editorial content, she said, 'I find that my greatest pleasure is helping the next generation of impassioned editors storm the field with their own ideas, supported by a new, exciting view of what a major media company can be. And that is exactly the kind of person we need to now look for to be HOEC for US Vogue.' Fashion fans voiced their shock on social media, calling it the 'end of an era' and saying it's something they never thought they would see, as she was tied so directly to the brand for so many years. They immediately began wondering who would land fashion's most famous job, leading to a guessing game that included fashion editors, Condé Nast darlings, and even nepo babies. Eva Chen, 45, a front row fashion week fixture, was named repeatedly on social media. Chen was previously the youngest editor-in-chief ever of shopping magazine Lucky Plenty of fashion editors topped the list of potential replacements. One that was seen repeatedly is British-Ghanaian Edward Enninful, although he seems unlikely as he's currently launching a new 'magazine and platform' that is set to compete with Vogue. Plus, he's had a rumored rivalry with Wintour. Enninful, 53, the first male and first black editor-in-chief of British Vogue, was once widely considered to be the protégé who would succeed Wintour. Now, he could be a competitor. Eva Chen, 45, a fashion week fixture and Met Gala regular, was also named on social media. Chen was previously the youngest editor-in-chief ever of shopping magazine Lucky. Now, she's the Head of Fashion Partnerships at Instagram, where she also has 2.5 million followers. Vogue has 51 million followers. The rumors about Chen taking over have been circulating for years. In fact, in 2015 beauty writer Cat Marnell tweeted 'I PREDICT ANNA WINTOUR WILL GRACEFULLY HAND VOGUE TO EVA CHEN WHEN SHE IS READY… IM TALKING IN 10 YEARS… WATCH THE THRONE.' Amy Astley's name quickly made the rounds, as she was the head of Teen Vogue when it was at its peak and most notably was handpicked by Wintour herself for the gig at the time. Astley, 58, is currently the editor of Architectural Digest, so she's still working with Condé Nast. Like Wintour, London-born journalist Chioma Nnadi worked at the American version of Vogue and currently edits the British publication. She has long been rumored to be been handpicked as her protégé, making her a frontrunner. In 2023, Nnadi, who is of Nigerian, Swiss, and German descent, is the first woman of color to serve in a senior leadership role at Vogue. On Reddit, fashion fans believe she'd be the right fit, with one person chiming in, 'She's put in her time as head of editorial content at Vogue UK, so she's demonstrated she can lead. She replaced an icon (Edward) and did a smooth transition while there. She's got a fantastic track record, a history at Vogue US, is deeply respected in the industry, and writers and advertisers like her.' It's entirely possible the next Wintour could already have a recognizable name, although it's unlikely to be a true celebrity. In 2014, Sarah Jessica Parker shut down rumors that she was going to replace Wintour. 'There aren't that many contenders, tbh. If they promote from within, one of the Nepo Chloe's maybe (Schama or Malle),' one Reddit commenter pointed out. Schama's father is British historian and presenter Sir Simon Michael Schama. Malle's mother is Candice Bergen and her father is French film director Louis Malle. Another nepo baby who could potentially make the list? Wintour's own daughter, Bee Shaffer Carrozzini, who's currently working as a film producer. After all, Wintour recently left Vanity Fair staff ' blindsided ' over her surprising decision to appoint her daughter's friend to run the magazine. She picked Shaffer's close pal Mark Guiducci, 36, to run VF following a high-profile search for the publication's next leader.
