Despite a handful of stylish fellow supermodels by her side, all eyes were on Naomi Campbell as she attended The Face Series Premiere at Marquee on Tuesday in New York City – the newest modelling competition lead by the cover girl herself. And while fellow judges Coco Rocha and Karolina Kurkova looked typically stunning in their detailed dresses, Naomi kept it simple and ever so sophisticated chic in her flawless ensemble.
The iconic 42-year-old stunner – one of the first five original supermodels – was showing off her flawless physique in a white figure-hugging fishtail gown with matching killer platforms that lengthened her already endless pins. A cream fur coat topped off her Hollywood glamour look to perfection. Meanwhile Coco Rocha donned an elegant black sequined and sheer-panelled dress created by Emilio Pucci to promote the new television show. Smoky eyes, a dab of hot scarlet lipstick and waves completed the stylish look. By contrast, Karolina opted for a splash of colour in an electric blue fringed number that showcased her long model legs.
The star-studded judging trio was joined by former America’s Next Top Model judge and fashion photographer Nigel Parker and his wife Cristen. Nigel will act as the host of the new model competition show. The Face will air on Oxygen, Bravo & Style on Feb. 12 at 9:00 p.m.
But before this premiere episode, The Face: The Fight to Make the Final 12 will air on Feb. 5/ As the final 12 are chosen, the premiere episode will entail all the trials and tribulations of the model hopefuls including their move into their new loft and their first official challenge, a Test Shoot lead by Naomi named "Who Wore It Better." Naomi now joins the likes of Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, who have both launched their own modelling programs in America too. ‘The Face’ will give undiscovered talent the chance to pursue their ultimate goal of becoming a spokesperson for a national brand and the possibility to be the new face of ULTA beauty. The seven episode series will follow emerging models through various challenges such as photo shoots, fashion shows and commercials, and each judge will elect the four girls they wish to mentor throughout the stiff competition, providing model tips and support throughout.
