Naomi Campbell left commuters in London stunned on Tuesday when she was spotted on the Victoria Line.
The supermodel, 54, joined TikTok star Sabrina Bahsoon, 23, known as Tube Girl, as they danced on the London Underground to Charlie XCX’s new song, 360.
Naomi swished her hair in the wind while wearing a cropped leather biker jacket, baggy jeans and Nike trainers.
Sabrina became an overnight sensation online for the TikTok videos in August last year after posting a clip of herself dancing on the Central Line. She now boasts 32.9 million like and 795.7K followers on the platform.
Sharing the TikTok to her Instagram, Naomi wrote: ‘What a fun afternoon going back to my roots and visiting my hometown of Brixton with Sabrina on the Victoria line in preparation for my upcoming exhibition at the V&A.’

The Naomi: In Fashion exhibition explores the iconic model’s amazing 40-year career in the fashion world.
The display will also feature fashion photography, curated by Edward Enninful.
It will open 22 June 2024 and run until 6 April 2025 and will feature past and present pieces from the designers who helped shape her early career.
Outfits from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Virgil Abloh and more set to be included.
In December Sabrina said she was ‘so glad’ to have sparked a worldwide trend in 2023 which encourages women to have fun and get out of their comfort zones.
The student, from west London, who described how getting ‘thrown into this, it can be very daunting’, said: ‘I definitely did not expect (to go viral). I just posted that video for fun.’
In the clip, which amassed more than 10million views, Bahsoon can be seen dancing along to David Guetta’s Where Them Girls At featuring Nicki Minaj.
The caption read: ‘Being the friend who lives on the other side of the city so you gotta hype yourself up during the commute.’

From there the dancing format exploded, with many more videos from Bahsoon following as she coupled music from artists including Rihanna and Charlie XCX with her trademark move of using the windows of Tube carriages to allow wind to blow through her hair.
‘They’re super empowering and they make you feel confident and like you’re that b****,’ Bahsoon said.
Despite many recognising Bahsoon as Tube Girl, it was her current manager who came up with the name.
‘My manager reached out to me when I had 6,000 followers, after the second Tube Girl video,’ she said.
‘He said to me, “I was telling my friends that I was having a meeting with the Tube Girl and they were so excited”, and it sort of clicked in my head. I hashtagged it on the rest of my videos and it kind of went from there.’
Bahsoon now has millions of views per video on TikTok, which has led to women worldwide emulating the trend by proudly dancing on often packed public transport.
‘I’m so glad other girls are having fun with me and getting out of their comfort zones and caring less about what others think,’ she said. ‘Now I see the Tube Girls of Warsaw, of Paris, and it’s just insane.’
Sabrina filmed her first video as her dancing alter ego on the Central line in August with no idea she would become TikTok famous, she now boasts 32.9 million like and 795.7K followers
Bahsoon said she is much shier in herself than as her alter ego. ‘I am way more shy and introverted than Tube Girl is,’ she said. ‘She’s like my alter ego, she’s way more sassier.’
As she spends a lot of time on the London Underground travelling to visit friends – which was the inspiration behind the dancing trend – she has become somewhat of a Tube connoisseur.
‘The Central line is my favourite because that is where the original video was filmed,’ she said. ‘And then I would say the Victoria line as that is another line I take a lot to go and see my friends.
‘The Bakerloo line is the worst for me because I just don’t like the lighting in there and it’s very rickety and hard to keep my balance.’
