The event, held at The British Museum, has become an annual tradition for the model since 2008, and every time, she manages to steal the spotlight.
This year, Campbell rocked a sheer black gown from Thierry Mugler’s fall 1998 couture collection, which features a plunging neckline and strategically placed sequins to cover just the bare minimum of Campbell’s toned body.
She paired the look with a 1960s-style bouffant, pearls, and black heels.

Although the nude-fantasy was daring, it’s not the first time Campbell puts some skin on display in a fashionable couture way. Here’s a list of some of her bold looks through the years.
LATE '90s, EARLY 00's
Campbell has never been shy when it comes to rocking sheer clothes. She has been making statements with her cheer fashion choices in the runaway and red carpet from the early ‘90s.
Naomi wore a see-through white sequined dress when she attended the VH-1 Fashion awards in the company of late designer Gianni Versace on December 3, 1995. At the time, Campbell was at the peak of her career.
Here, she arrived at the 'A Diamond is Forever: Cinema Against Aids 2001' amfAR benefit event at Le Moulin de Mougins in Cannes, France, wearing a heavily embellished dress with two sheer panels on the sides.
She completed the outfit with strappy sandals and a matching bag.

Following with the sheer trend, Naomi rocked a white lace dress with cream-colored underwear and matching ankle boots for The Fashion Group International's 19th Annual Night Of Stars at Cipriani, New York, in 2002.

SPECIAL MENTIONS
Although not as daring in a -showing-off-skin way as the other looks, but more in a fashion-vanguard one, there are two of Naomi's outfits that are worth mentioning too.
One is the lilac Valentino couture gown with sheer panels and a feather cape that she rocked at the MET Gala 2019:
