Naomi Campbell is celebrating her 53rd birthday today and what better way to celebrate your birthday than being in Cannes with a schedule full of film premieres and A-List after-parties? The supermodel recently jetted to France after being in Barcelona with her daughter. It’s been speculated that she was there on a Victoria’s Secret modelling shoot. 

It's not the first time Naomi has been spotted at the film event, she has been a regular for over 16 years. The London born model has been looking sensational on the red carpet at the Cannes Film festival. Naomi is currently in the French Riviera for the film festival. She has already attended the film premieres for Jeanne du Barry, a period drama starring Johnny Depp, Firebrand, another period drama based on King Henry V111 featuring Jude Law and Killer of the Flower Moon (an American Western crime-drama with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro).

In the past week we have seen the London born model wear a silver sequin dress with plunge neckline by Celine, a red cut out gown with feathered pink cape by Valentino and a white silk halter neck dress by Chanel. 

Cannes isn’t just about the film premieres, oh no it’s also all about the after party - which may be the reason why Naomi comes back again and again. The Vanity Fair party co-hosted with Prada was held at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. 

The star studded event saw actors and models enjoy an intimate dinner. Guests included Bryan Cranston, James Mangold, Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima and Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.

However according to Vanity Fair it was Robert De Niro holding hands with girlfriend Tiffany Chen that stole the show.  The couple have just welcomed their new born son.
