Happy birthday, Natalia Vodianova! Antoine Arnault, Vodianova’s husband, hosted a chic surprise party for the Russian beauty at Cabaret Manko in Paris on Saturday night to celebrate the supermod’s 35th birthday. The bash, which conveniently took place during Paris Fashion Week, brought out a slew of Vodianova’s fashion pals, ranging from models to actors to editors to designers and beyond. The list does not disappoint—just look at this lineup: Delphine Arnault, Derek Blasberg, Bianca Brandolini D’Adda, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Miroslava Duma, Edward Enninful, Sienna Miller, Lottie Moss, Doutzen Kroes, Suzy Menkes, Gaia Repossi, Carine Roitfeld, Mario Testino, Joan Smalls ,Stefano Tonchi, Diane Von Furstenberg, Sofia & Alexandre de Betak, Patrick Demarchelier, Sydney Toledano, Lily Donaldson , Paolo Roversi, Christian Louboutin, Sasha Luss, Olivia Palermo & Johannes Huebl, Yana Peel, Natasha Poly, Nick Jonas, Valery Kaufman, Maria Borges, Ali Mahdavi, Imrad Amed, Jenke Ahmed Tally, Jill Asemota, and even Vogue‘s Anna Wintour.
The dress code of the eve was red—and while not everyone stuck to the theme, Vodianova rocked the hue via a bold red dress by LVMH prize semifinalist, designer Dilara Findikoglu. According to Vodianova’s Instagram, she discovered the Turkish designer’s look at the LVMH prize celebration for the 21 semifinalists the day before her birthday celebration. Vogue reported that at the last minute, she chose to wear the piece over a slinky red Alexandre Vauthier dress, making for the parfait combination.
“My angel, my love, my baby, my hero, my mirror, my biggest supporter, my happiness, the sexiest and hottest man alive, thank you for bringing together all my loved and cherished people in one room last night,” Vodianova wrote on Instagram yesterday, referring to her husband. “I was so happy to dance care free with my friends. So lucky to have your love and our beautiful family.”
