Naomi Campbell stuns commuters on the Victoria Line as she joins TikTok star Sabrina Bahsoon to dance on the London Underground
Naomi Campbell left London commuters 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 blew her hair in the wind as she wore a cropped leather biker jacket, baggy jeans and Nike sneakers.
Sabrina became an online sensation for TikTok videos in August last year after posting a clip of herself dancing on the Central Line. She now has 32.9 million likes and 795.7K followers on the platform.
Naomi shared TikTok on her Instagram and wrote: ‘What a lovely afternoon getting back to my roots and visiting my home town of Brixton with Sabrina on the Victoria line in preparation for my upcoming exhibition at the V&A.’

The exhibition Naomi: In Fashion explores the iconic model’s astonishing 40-year career in the fashion world.
There will also be fashion photography curated by Edward Enninful.
The exhibition opens on June 22, 2024 and runs until April 6, 2025. It will feature pieces from the past and present from the designers who helped shape her early career.
Outfits from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Virgil Abloh and more will be added.
In December, Sabrina said she was “so happy” to have sparked a global trend in 2023 that encourages women to have fun and get out of their comfort zones.
The west London student, who described how it can be “very scary to get into this”, said: “I definitely didn’t expect it to go viral. I just posted that video for fun.”
In the clip, which has been viewed more than 10 million times, Bahsoon can be seen dancing to David Guetta’s Where Them Girls At with Nicki Minaj.
The caption read: “You’re the friend who lives on the other side of town so you need to give yourself a boost on your commute.”

From there, the dance format exploded, with many more videos from Bahsoon following, as she paired music from artists like Rihanna and Charlie XCX with her signature move of using subway car windows to let the wind blow through her hair.
“They’re super empowering and make you feel confident, like you’re so b****,” Bahsoon said.
Although many recognized Bahsoon as Tube Girl, it was her current manager who came up with the name.
“My manager contacted me when I hit 6,000 followers, after the second Tube Girl video,” she said.
‘He said to me, “I told my friends I was meeting the Tube Girl and they were so excited,” and it just kind of clicked in my head. I hashed it into the rest of my videos and it went from there.”
Bahsoon now has millions of views per video on TikTok, which has led to women worldwide emulating the trend by dancing proudly on often crowded public transport.
“I’m so happy that other girls are having fun with me, getting out of their comfort zones and worrying less about what others think,” she said. “Now I see the Tube Girls of Warsaw, of Paris, and it’s just crazy.”
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 has 32.9 million likes and 795.7K followers
Bahsoon said she is much shyer on her own than as her alter ego. “I’m much more shy and introverted than Tube Girl,” she said. “She’s my alter ego, she’s much bolder.”
Spending a lot of time on the London Underground visiting friends – which was the inspiration behind the dancing trend – she’s become a bit of a Tube connoisseur.
“The Central Line is my favorite because that’s where the original video was shot,” she said. “And then I would say the Victoria line because that’s another line that I use a lot when I go to see my friends.
‘The Bakerloo line is the worst for me because I just don’t like the lighting there and it’s very rickety and difficult to keep my balance.’
