Naomi Campbell Plans To Celebrate Her 40th Birthday In Style

Naomi Campbell is having a good year so far..and yes that includes charges of assault that were brought up and soon after dropped against her. She's featured in Vogue Russia's model only issue but more importantly she turns 40 this year! Naomi never thought she would reach the very young age of 40 saying, "I thought I'd never actually make this birthday. I've had times when it was hard for me to look at myself in the mirror, because I didn't really like who I was . . . Anger wasn't the only one of my issues -- I have lots of them. I had to get clean and stay in the AA program. I understand what keeps me on the right path."

Well lucky for Naomi she made it this far because her Russian boyfriend Vladimir Doronin plans on hosting a bash to remember on her birthday May 22 on the French Riviera. Many stars will be in town for the Cannes Film Festival but Na-Na's party may be the talk of the town with it's own high caliber list of celebrities!

Take a look at more of Naomi's shoot from Vogue Russia's April 2010 issue (nudity)

Iman will enjoy the honor of receiving the Fashion Icon award from The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) on June 7th. Iman has remained a style icon since beginning her fashion career more than 30 years ago! Amongst many other high points, Iman has she managed to remain stunningly beautiful at age 54 AND build a hugely successful globally recognized namesake beauty brand.

In demand model Jourdan Dunn who gave birth to her son in December is making some small appearances back to the catwalk namely at Aquascutum's Fall 2010 show. Jourdan also walked at the Westfield shopping center in London to help raise money for Fashion for Relief.

However her returned was hampered by news of her longtime boyfriend and child's father's arrest. According to Fashionologie, Jourdan's boyfriend was sentenced to 3.5 years of jail time for possession of Cocaine with an intent to distribute.

We love Jourdan and look forward to seeing more of her on the catwalk!!
