The tempestuous English super model Naomi Campbell graces the cover of the December/January 2008/2009 issue of French magazine Mixte.
The cranky uber model is wearing a red dress which comes accessorized with very tall, black head gear, a plaid red and white headband and a golden chain.
The quirky hat is reminiscent of the tall head gear, or Bearskins, worn by the Buckingham Palace guards. The caption on the cover says in French, "God Save Naomi."
The last picture in the gallery is depicting a Buckingham Palace guard.
