Naomi Campbellis back to work — but this time, as a new mom.
While appearing virtually on the show Tuesday, the legendary designer, 74, asked the supermodel, 50, at what age she became the woman she truly wanted to be.
“Hmm, I’d say 30,” Campbell said. “29 I started to understand about how I need to be with myself… 29, [or] 30.”
“Acknowledging it in my mind, understanding how I had to do it and then that was the point where I had to take the action,” she added of achieving her dreams. “It’s also very important to be able to look at one self’s face in the mirror and admit to one’s faults, one’s insecurities, it’s okay, it’s all right. You’ve got to commit here.”
“It’s okay! It’s alright!” Campbell added.
Discussing how von Furstenberg found time to write her new bookOwn Itduring quarantine, Campbell agreed when the designer said the ongoing coronavirus pandemic “forced us to pause, because we live in a world that never stops.”
“I agree. We had to embrace it, you can’t fasten it up or swallow it down, you just must go with it,” Campbell said. “It’s easier to do it that way, I totally agree.”
“A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” the supermodel shared. “So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life there are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you my angel. There is no greater love.”
“Oh my God!!!!! Today is the day?? How absolutely incredible,” Marc Jacobs wrote. “How lucky she is and how lucky you are! What a wonderful Mother you will be. Blessings all around. ❤️❤️❤️”
Zoe Saldanathen commented, “❤️❤️❤️ oh my goodness congrats lady! What a blessing!!!”
Reposting Campbell’s photo of the infant’s feet, the star’s mother, Valerie Morris-Campbell, wrote, “Congratulations to my daughter Naomi on the birth of her daughter.”
“I’m beyond thrilled as I’ve waited a longtime to be grandmother. ❤️😍,” she added, including the hashtags “proud,” “mother,” “grandmother,” “love” and “family.”
