Naomi Campbell has been seen for the first time since being named among a slew of A-List stars linked to Jeffrey Epstein in bombshell court papers.
The model, 53, was seen heading to a gym in Dubai with pal Nada Adelle on Tuesday, after featuring in the explosive 1,000 page document, which was unsealed in the US overnight.
Sporting a white vest and a matching tennis skirt, Naomi and Nada, who is engaged to PrettyLittleThing founder Umar Kamani, headed into the luxurious FitnGlam facility, which boasts memberships costing £300 per month.
Naomi was previously named as one of many stars that flew on Epstein’s private jet, as revealed by pilot David Rogers in 2009 logs that appear in the unsealed files.
In a video from 2019 Naomi also admitted that she knew Epstein, adding: ‘I was introduced to him on my 31st birthday by my ex-boyfriend Flavio [Briatore, the Italian businessman who has been convicted of fraud]. He was always front and centre at Victoria’s Secret shows.’

She was also pictured near Epstein’s alleged ‘madam’ Ghislaine Maxwell at a party in 2002.
The model denied knowing about Epstein’s activities, adding: ‘What he’s done is indefensible and when I heard what he’d done it sickened me to my stomach… I have had my fair share of sexual predators.’
She said she was ‘shocked’ by the coverage of her friendships with disreputable characters, before adding: ‘I’m not a saint… but I will not be held hostage by my past.’
In the evidence released, Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein’s alleged victims, says she never met Naomi or saw her at Epstein’s homes.
The documents have also revealed that Epstein allegedly kept a vast collecton of photographs at his property in Palm Beach, Florida, according to claims in a deposition by Virginia Giuffre.
In a section of the deposition about his twisted photograph and painting collection, Giuffre said Epstein made no secret of his behavior and hung a huge number of images in prominent places around his homes.
She said at his property in Palm Beach, Florida, Epstein owned a large hallway table right at the front door, which had ‘at least 50 photographs’ of both young victims and celebrities.
‘Some with girls in (lingerie)… mixed in with Jeffrey and some of the privileged people he’s met, such as, you know, I don’t know like old girlfriends or models or Naomi Campbell.’

The allegations come as part of the latest tranche of files from the infamous Jeffrey Epstein ‘list’, which have cast new light on the financier’s web of influence
Naomi was recently in attendance for a lavish New Year’s Eve party hosted by Umar, which saw sporting stars Anthony Joshua and footballer Erling Haaland make an appearance.
Naomi, who unveiled her PrettyLittleThing collaboration last year, also rung in the 2024 with the founder.
The supermodel danced the night away at the party in a sizzling cutaway one shouldered gown.
No expense was spared at the party, where rappers Tyga and Fabolous put on jaw-dropping performance while a large mascot depicting a caricature of Umar wondered the bash with an oversized head.
In September last year, Naomi revealed the real reason she collaborated with PrettyLittleThing after she surprised fans by revealing she’d joined forces with the online retailer to create her Designed by Naomi Campbell collection.
In a two-part film released at the time, Naomi revealed she didn’t think the ‘younger generation’ even knew who she was. She told the camera: ‘I get to speak to a younger generation of which I didn’t think even knew who I was…
‘When I think fashion, fashion does not discriminate. I can’t wait to see all these lovely young women wearing my designs.’
She added: ‘I want young girls to take from this collection to be themselves, to feel confident in how they wear these clothes and designed by me and interpret who they are in the clothes. So bringing their own essence, style swag to the outfits.’
