For the occasion, the 54-year-old sported her quintessentially refined, ultra-elegant dress code. She was the epitome of chic in a pristine, double-breasted white blazer suit with matching straight-leg trousers. Swapping out her usual sky-scraping court heels,  Naomi opted for comfort in some loose-fitting white trainers, giving her angelic look a casual edge.

Naomi isn't the only one opting for major high-low dressing this season by pairing formal fashion with trainers. Last month, Queen Letizia of Spain paired a timeless tweed jacket from Mirto, with white straight-leg trousers , and a pair of plain white trainers by innovative footwear label Vivobarefoot.

Though trainers with bolder logos like Adidas' Gazelles have taken over fashion agendas as of late, the ability of plain white trainers to seamlessly slip into an otherwise quite smart outfit is unmatched. They can marginally dilute the level of formality, allowing for a more relaxed feel without taking away from the ensemble.

On Naomi's upcoming exhibition, Hello! Fashion editor Natalie Salmon said: "This groundbreaking exhibition is a testament to Campbell’s enduring influence on the global fashion landscape. What sets this exhibition apart is its collaborative approach, with Campbell actively participating in its curation."

"Her voice and perspective will be foregrounded, providing an intimate insight into her remarkable journey," she continues, "The exhibition will showcase approximately 100 carefully curated looks, including haute couture pieces and leading ready-to-wear ensembles from Campbell’s personal wardrobe. In addition to these, the display will feature loans from prestigious designer archives and select items from the V&A collection."
