SNAPSHOT: NAOMI CAMPBELL FOR HARPER'S BAZAAR VIETNAM JUNE 2014

Queen Model Naomi Campbell turned 44 last week and was also revealed as cover girl for Harper's Bazaar Vietnam June issue.

As expected she slayed!!

Check out the photos below along with some of her most memorable quotes.

''I don't think I was born beautiful. I just think I was born me.''

''Check your lipstick before you come and talk to me.''

''Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don't like to lose, and if I'm told no; then i find another way to get my 'yes.'. But I'm a loyal person.''

''I like to control everything, and you cannot control everything. You have to at some point say ''I let go and I'm going to let the cards fall where they fall...'' For a control freak,it's hard''

'' It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word i don't like is predictable.''

'' I work very hard and i am worth every cent''

''If i was so difficult, why would i be working with the same people i have worked with since I was 16?''

I love Naomi, and 44 never looked so good.

xoxo

FASHION TREND: DENIM JUMPSUITS & OVERALLS

Denim jumpsuits and overalls would probably never go out of style, just as denim itself. Denim overalls have been trending since the 30s to present day spring collection.

It's been said that the utilitarian trend was adopted by female factory workers during World War II from their male predecessors who themselves drew inspiration from American soldiers. It also known to have been created for farmers.

The look never gets boring as so many brands keep releasing their own take of the trend. It is fun but sometimes very bold and slightly daring depending on how you style it or on your body type.

The Jumpsuit

Gwen Stefani is known to love denim jumpsuits as she has been spotted in different designs

I love the zipper details on this one

Draya Michele and Rihanna spotted rockin' a fitted jumpsuit

The great thing about the trend is that the list of styles is endless, you can have the strapless, spaghetti straps, shirt tops and more, but what remains the same is the fact that each top half stays connected to the pants at the bottom.

The Overalls

Since the trend is a boy-meet-girl-look, statement necklaces, pumps, purses and bangles are a perfect way to balance the boyish look. The best way is to choose your colors right.
