Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer: Obsessed By You
Celebrities and photographers go hand-in-hand. So when Mario Testino opened his latest exhibition of work in London at the Phillips de Pury gallery yesterday, stars like Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer were among the first in line.
Miss Campbell looked stunning in a stringy white dress teamed with a fabulous pair of leather heels as she mingled with the party guests, posing for a few pics.
Meanwhile, Claudia went for more of an institutional look with a shimmery white belted dress complete with black leggings and matching black shoes.
Testino’s display consisted of 32 photographs he’s taken over the course of his career, and prints were available starting at £15,000 ($29,000 US). One such piece, a shot of Elton John with Elizabeth Hurley on his piano, seemed to hypnotize John’s partner, David Furnish.
Naomi Campbell Heats Up the French Riviera
Naomi Campbell Heats Up the French Riviera
Removed from the list of celebrity presenters at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration, model Naomi Campbell decided to take avantage of her suddenly open schedule with a trip to the French Riviera.
On Saturday morning (June 28), the fiery catwalk queen was spotted arriving at the Club 55 beach in St Tropez with boyfriend, Brazilian entrepreneur Marcus Elias.
Sporting a hot black bikini, Campbell continued her French Riviera vacation on Flavio Briatore’s boat - at one point ending up in a heated conversation on her cell phone. Fortunately enough, there wasn’t anyone nearby she could throw it at!
As for her removal from Mandela’s guest list - the blacklisting occurred following her latest arrest at Heathrow Airport, when “she was wearing a baseball hat featuring Mr Mandela’s Robben Island prison number and Aids charity moniker 46664.”
A source close to the concert told press that it was “fair to say that Mandela was behind the decision.”
Famous Friends (and Naomi Campbell) Fete Mandela
Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday bash isn’t until Friday, but celebs are already flocking to London to fete the former South African president.
Will Smith (who’s emceeing Friday’s event) and Jada Pinkett Smith were just two boldfaced names in attendance at a prebirthday dinner party held in Hyde Park. Also on the list: Oprah Winfrey, Uma Thurman, Forest Whitaker, Kim Cattrall and Denzel Washington.
And yes, Naomi Campbell will be in the house on Friday.
Despite reports that the birthday boy had banned the supermodel from introducing some of the performers after her airport arrest, her rep says that was never the plan.
“To my knowledge, she has always just been a guest,” he told News.
One trainwreck who is allowed on stage at the soiree? Amy Winehouse. The troubled singer is slated to sing, as well as Leona Lewis, Queen and Annie Lennox.
It will be Amy’s first performance since her hospitalization last week.

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.
