Naomi Campbell, 49, poses completely naked in the desert

Naomi Campbell has never been as comfortable in her own skin as she is now.

Taking to Instagram, the supermodel shared a nude photo from behind the scenes of her Vogue shoot in Kenya, wearing nothing but a thin gold chain around her waist.

The 49-year-old told the fashion magazine that she’s only recently begun to feel completely comfortable in her body.

“Whenever I did something like lingerie pictures, I continued to feel incredibly self-conscious,” she said.

Naomi, who named as the new face of Nars late last year, believes that her confidence has “come with age”.

“It’s taken me a long time to feel right in my body and has really only happened over the past few years.”

As well as feeling more confident about the way she looks, Naomi says she feels more relaxed about taking days off if she’s not feeling 100 per cent.

Fans of the supermodel rushed to praise the “iconic model.”

“I thought this was a throwback.” One Instagram comment read.

Another said: “She will forever be a timeless beauty.”
