If you weren’t a germaphobe before, the current coronavirus situation has turned a lot of people into real-life versions of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.
And Naomi Campbell, for one, is certainly taking the threat of coronavirus infection seriously. At least, showing up in a full hazmat suit and mask at the airport seems to say so.
The 49-year-old went on Instagram to showcase her “safety-first” look. In her case, that involved a full hazmat suit and face mask as well as pink latex gloves and safety goggles.
She captioned the picture: “Safety First NEXT LEVEL,” and her fans responded positively, telling her she should continue such measures.
One wrote: “I’m with you entirely,” while someone else called her the “queen of hygienic travel.”
Someone else added: “Omg!!!!! Certainly next level. Love it. Keep safe!”
A fourth chimed in: “Coronavirus but, make it fashion,” probably pointing to the fact that she matches her suitcase to her hazmat suit – making sure both were bright white. While another photo shows a luxurious-looking cape draped over her shoulders.
Rapper Azealia Banks referred to Naomi’s brown cape, writing: “Omg I hope that is not an airport blanket and it’s your own. Those don’t get washed properly, and wipe that phone down sis!!!! I love you so much for this Lmao.”
The supermodel responded: “Mine, now in airport garbage.”
But Campbell has always been a hygiene freak. Last year she shared a video on her YouTube channel that showed the supermodel cleaning her seat.
The moment she stepped on the plane, she was already reaching for her gloves in her Louis Vuitton bag, after which, she took out some disinfectant wipes.
While Campbell’s hygiene methods may look extreme, it makes sense when you look at how some people behave on flights. Footage came out last year that showed a passenger using their feet to fiddle with the in-flight entertainment screen.
Alafair Burke, who shared the video on Twitter, said: “My friend who doesn’t have twitter sent this from her flight. It belongs on Twitter.
“The photographer confirms that she saw him walk on and off the plane, carrying his own bag. He just likes to watch TV with his bare feet.”
