Never change, Naomi

Relatable isn’t a word that usually pops to mind when you think of supermodel Naomi Campbell and she became a Twitter sensation last night after she was amazingly on-brand.

The fashion icon - one of the many celebs to make the shift to YouTube - shared her airport and plane routine in a short five-minute vlog.

In the video, Campbell revealed a Louis Vuitton tote laden with everything from a custom seat cover to a hygiene mask.

Campbell’s video begins with the star zipping through Nice airport and spending far too much time in Duty Free - poring over beauty products and buying a pack of French chocolates. But things get more eccentric when she boards the plane to Doha.

The camera zooms in on Campbell wearing a Burberry pyjama set, digging through her designer tote for her flight essentials. Her routine begins with what she calls the “best part of the whole thing” - her gloves, which have been carefully ziplocked in a separate part of her tote. After pulling them on, she pulls out a pack of Dettol wipes and “cleans everything you touch” and “anything that you put your hands on”.

Campbell truly goes to town cleaning her business class booth, wiping down the tray table, screen, area around the chair, seatbelt, her window and even her air conditioning vent. After going at it with such intensity, the passenger behind her actually remarks at one point that she wants Campbell to clean hers next.

The model explains, “This is what I do on every plane I get on. I do not care what people think of me. It’s my health and it makes me feel better.”

Campbell then drapes a seat cover over her chair. While the one in the video she uses is pink, she explains that there were “different colours that make you happy, turquoise, whatever”. She also adds that she has them hand washed at every hotel she goes to and changes them “every week”.

After that, she pulls out her gigantic “hydration pack” which we’re honestly surprised she can get through security. She reveals the massive ziplock, which features a number of beauty products, and explains she uses three different skincare masks for “hydration”.

The last and quite possibly the best step in Campbell’s plane routine involves the model putting on a hygiene mask.

As she demonstrates, air hostess style, by pulling the mask on over her face, Campbell says, “I will eventually end up sitting like this the whole entire flight.”

“No matter what plane you take - private [jet] or commercial - as the plane descends people start coughing and sneezing. And the coughing and sneezing makes me... I just can’t,” she tells the camera.

Calling it her “protection from people’s coughing and sneezing”, Campbell says, “as much as I travel, I should get so much more with colds and stuff and I’m blessed that I don’t. And I really think that this helps me my little routine.”

Halfway through the sentence, Campbell grapples for the faux wooden tray table to knock on it as hard as she can - perhaps to scatter any listening germs in the vicinity.
