  • Story Text: British model Naomi Campbell, arrived early on Friday (March 23) morning for her fifth and final day of community service for the New York City Department of Sanitation, where she has been mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms.
    Campbell arrived as she did all week in a black Cadillac Escalade. As she stepped out of the car dressed in combat boots and tan corduroy pants, carrying her bag, she smiled and waved to the cameras.
    Campbell finished her cleaning duty in true supermodel style, stunning onlookers by leaving New York's sanitation department in a sequin encrusted floor-length silver evening gown.
    The catwalk star, who spent five days mopping, sweeping and scrubbing toilets, drew grasps from the photographers when she emerged into the drizzle in the show-stopping frock before speeding away in a Rolls Royce.
    Campbell, also wearing vertiginous silver stilettos, smiled broadly and waved as she sashayed along her impromptu runway.
    At one point she was forced to hitch up her fishtail dress, nipped in at the waist with a wide metallic belt, to stop it dragging on the wet concrete.
    Albert Durrell, the Deputy Chief of the Department of Sanitation, spoke about Campbell's community service.
    "She was assigned to community service. She served five days, she completed her service successfully, she reported everyday on time," Durrell said. "She did a variety of duties, such as sweeping the garage floor downstairs, mopping and sweeping the hallways downstairs and upstairs, cleaning the grout out of the walls, locker detail, cleaned the bathrooms and so on."
    Campbell, 36, was accompanied by the male fellow community service worker who appears to have become a friend over the course of her punishment for bashing her maid on the head with a mobile phone.
    He carried the Streatham-born beauty's bag.
