Biography of Naomi Lenour
Naomi Lenour is a French model and actress, born on September 19, 1979, in Les Ulis, France. Her father is French, while her mother hails from a small island off the coast of Madagascar, from whom Naomi inherited her tan skin and exotic eye shape. She first discovered the world of modeling at the age of 16 when she caught the attention of a Ford modeling agency scout. Soon after, Naomi received an invitation to shoot for the fashion magazine "Marie Claire" and participate in shows by American designer Ralph Lauren. Despite the growing attention, she displayed determination and patience by completing her education, becoming fluent in English before venturing into the tumultuous world of the modeling industry.
Modeling Career
In 1999, Naomi moved to New York and dedicated herself to developing her modeling career. In 2001, she signed a contract with the company 'L'Oreal' and has since worked alongside Letitia Casta and Andy McDowell. Naomi has an impressive roster of advertising campaigns, having worked with brands such as 'Gap', 'Next', 'Pantene Europe', and the lingerie catalog 'Victoria's Secret'. She is a regular participant in fashion shows for renowned designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Anne Tyler, and Ralph Lauren. Naomi also appeared in swimsuit shows for 'Sports Illustrated' in 2000 and 2001.
Acting Career and Personal Life
In 2002, Naomi tried her hand at acting, starring in the French comedy film "Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra", based on the popular French comics "Asterix". Shortly after the film's release, Naomi married French national team midfielder Claude Makelele. In February 2005, the couple welcomed their son, named Kelyan. However, their marriage was short-lived, and they separated in early 2009.
Naomi has had the opportunity to work with major designers worldwide and collaborate with renowned photographers such as Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth, Steven Meisel, and Peter Lindbergh. Her photographs have appeared in publications such as 'Marie Claire', 'Allure', American and British 'Elle', 'Glamour', 'Mademoiselle', 'Interview', and even 'The New York Times Magazine'. Currently, Naomi is the face of the British brand 'Marks & Spencer'.
She maintains a busy travel schedule and spends three to four days on the road each week. To stay in shape, she carefully watches her diet and gets plenty of sleep. When her work schedule allows, she enjoys swimming in the pool or riding her beloved thoroughbred horse named Boston. In her spare time, Naomi indulges in her favorite pastime - shopping. She particularly loves fashionable shoes, bags, and trousers. During her travels, she always carries her personal collection of sunglasses, which consists of more than a dozen pairs. Her passion for fashion and accessories is so great that Naomi is confident that after her modeling career ends, she will open her own store.
