A graduate of the Italia Conti Academy stage school, Campbell's first appearance to a wider public was in February 1978 when she was cast as a pupil to appear in a music video with Jamaican reggae superstar Bob Marley for his song Is This Love?.

Aged 15 and while still a student of the Italia Conti Stage School, Campbell was spotted by Beth Boldt. In April 1986, she made the cover of Elle, when another black model had to cancel the job. Her modeling career started as a catwalk model, but she was quickly picked up for various high profile advert campaigns for Lee Jeans and Olympus Corporation, which broke her in to America.

Campbell has appeared in music videos for artists such as Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, Macy Gray, Prince, Usher and also Madonna, George Michael.

Campbell has dated many famous personalities: Mike Tyson, U2's bassist Adam Clayton, Robert de Niro, dancer Joaquin Cortes and with Renault F1's boss Flavio Briatore. In late 2004 she had a high profile relationship with Usher, although by 2005 their relationship appeared to be over. In addition, she has been romantically linked to musician Eric Clapton, actor Sylvester Stallone, Prince Albert, Robert Goode, Matteo Marzotti, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, among others.
