Celebs Converge on Dior Fashion Show

Celebs Converge on Dior Fashion Show

As the 2008 Paris Haute-Couture Fashion week rages on, one show in particular had a bevy of celebrity presence… the 2009 Spring/Summer line by Christian Dior.

The Rodin Museum in the City of Lights was the place to be to check out the latest looks from one of the fashion industry’s top designers - just ask Kanye West, Liv Tyler, Eva Mendes and Claudia Schiffer.

Miss Mendes showed up at the event with a big smile and a very bright ensemble, including an orange top and pink belted skirt teamed with a pair of super-high white heels.

Meanwhile Liv Tyler kept things more conservative hue-wise with a short-sleeved belted black dress with black strappy heels and a black leather handbag.

Fashion icon Claudia Schiffer dressed to get attention in a silver v-neckline dress, while the always-interesting Kanye West kept it casual in a classic white t-shirt underneath a white hooded jacket with a pair of black shades.

Naomi Campbell: Courtroom to the Catwalk

Naomi Campbell: Courtroom to the Catwalk

Fresh off of a highly-publicized courtroom sentencing, Naomi Campbell headed off to Milan, Italy for the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show as part of Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009 on Saturday (June 21).

The lone lady to hit the runway, Campbell appeared in a black bra and boxer shorts, accompanied with a white Japanese print bath robe.

The unexpected appearance comes just one day after the fiery supermodel “admitted to kicking and spitting at police officers during a rage incident over lost luggage on a British Airways (BA) plane.”

After pleading guilty to all charges, Magistrate Peter Yiacoumi sentenced Campbell to 200 hours of community service, along with over $5,000 in combined fines/damages.

Naomi Campbell Pleads Guilty

Naomi Campbell Pleads Guilty

She’s a dream on the fashion show runway but a nightmare when it comes to her temper.  And earlier today (Friday June 20th) Naomi Campbell pled guilty to assaulting two police officers in London’s Heathrow Airport.

The charges she copped to, stemming from an incident this past April, were two counts of assaulting a police constable, one count of using threatening, abusive words or behavior to cabin crew, and one count of using insulting, abusive, threatening behavior or disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress.

Crown Prosecution Service director Nazir Afzal said in his statement, “Ms. Campbell was aggressive, hostile and violent to people who were simply trying to do their jobs.  Her behavior fell far short of what is acceptable.”

And talk about swift justice, Campbell may discover her fate by day’s end. A source told press, “The magistrate has asked for a report from the probation service prior to sentencing.  It is expected that she will be sentenced this afternoon.”

Naomi could face six months jail and a $10,000 fine for each assault charge.
