Birthday girl: Naomi Campbell's boyfriend threw the supermodel a lavish party to mark her 40th birthday yesterday


Turning 40 is a big deal for anyone, but when you're Naomi Campbell you'd expect to see all the stops being pulled out.

And that's exactly what happened yesterday when the supermodel's billionaire boyfriend Vladimir Doronin threw a sensational party on the French Riviera.

A delivery of 40 white roses, most likely from the Russian tycoon himself given it was also a celebration of their one-year anniversary, added an element of romance to the proceedings.

The glamorous affair, held at the Eden Roc Hotel, was attended by the great and the well-groomed, including Top Shop boss Philip Green and his daughter Chloe.
Sarah Ferguson and Princess Beatrice were also spotted arriving at the exclusive hotel to join in the celebrations.

And while Grace Jones was snapped in the hotel grounds in what seemed like post-party attire, with a bath robe and towel wrapped around her head, Naomi looked the picture of elegance in a lilac dress and gladiator sandals.

Despite her actual birthday falling yesterday, Naomi has been partying on the Riviera for the past week at the Cannes Film Festival.

On Friday the supermodel was joined by Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony in St Tropez and celebrated by spraying vintage champagne over them.

Earlier in the week, Naomi was living the high life aboard the Benetti built Silver Angel - a spacious 65metre-long boat, which can accommodate up to 12 guests within its seven en suite, roomy cabins.

After dining in style at her regular haunt, the Eden Roc, the supermodel was taken back to the Silver Angel, before changing into her evening floor-length gown for the amfAR charity dinner at the Hotel du Cap.

For someone who started out as a working class girl from Streatham, Naomi has certainly come a long way.

She was brought up by in a single-parent family by mother Valerie (she's never met her father) and was just a regular girl who attended a comprehensive school.

She was spotted aged 15 and promptly signed up to a model agency, which lead to her hugely successful career.
