Naomi Campbell is due to appear in court a day before the Sao Paulo show
SAO PAULO (AFP) — Supermodels Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bundchen are scheduled to headline Latin America's foremost fashion event, Sao Paulo Fashion Week, which sashays onto the runway this week.
The British and Brazilian beauties are to put celebrity punch into the June 17-23 event, which has been growing in importance and size every year since it began in 1996.
They have been contracted to appear next weekend, on different days and in different shows, Brazilian media said.
But while Bundchen is sure to do her turn in front of the flashbulbs next Sunday, Campbell's appearance next Saturday is less certain.
The 38-year-old is due to appear in court on Friday on charges relating to her alleged assault April 3 on a police officer at London's Heathrow airport, when she reportedly flew into a rage after learning one of her bags was missing from her Los Angeles-bound British Airways flight.
She is charged with five offences -- three counts of assaulting a constable, one of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and one of using threatening or abusive words or behavior to cabin crew.
