She is undoubtedly one of the great and original supermodels, with a career spanning nearly 30 years.

But stepping out on Tuesday, Naomi Campbell proved she's still top of the model pack as she arrived at the annual Novak Djokovic Foundation fundraising dinner in New York.

While the likes of Karlie Kloss and Candice Swanepoel looked stunning in their outfits, Naomi's daring black ensemble made the biggest impact on the night.

Yasmin Le Bon joins Helena Christensen and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in model hall of fame as Monsoon celebrates 40th anniversary

Happy birthday Monsoon! Yasmin Le Bon joins Helena Christensen and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in model hall of fame as British brand celebrates 40th anniversary

Yasmin Le Bon was an apt choice to model Monsoon's spring/summer 13 range. The mother-of-three is in her fourth decade and the British brand this year marks it's own 40th anniversary. And just like Yasmin who is still alluring at the of 48, Monsoon hasn't lost any of its appeal on the High Street.

Since the first store was opened in London in 1973 by founder Peter Simon, the company has gone global. Their sister store Accessorize followed in 1984 and now there are more than 400 Monsoon and Accessorize stores in the UK, as well as more than 1000 throughout the world. The brand's original focus was on clothes with an ethnic origin and they continue to incorporate this element today, as well as branching into home, children's and bridal ranges.

Yasmin, who is joined by daughter Amber, 23, in the latest campaign is far from the first supermodel to be a clothes horse for Monsoon. Over the years, a number of the world's most beautiful women have featured in their campaigns including Helena Christensen, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Alessandra Ambrosio. To celebrate the brand's 40th birthday, Femail looks back at the stars and fashions that haveput Monsoon on the map...
