Naomi Campbell cut a stylish figure as she stepped out in Milan on Friday for a luxury shopping trip, after her friends brushed off romance rumours with Saudi Arabian multimillionaire producer Mohammed Al Turki.
The supermodel, 53, kept her visit to Prada’s flagship store casual, rocking a blue denim jacket with an exaggerated collar.
Dressing for the weather, Naomi kept warm in a pair of flattering black flared trousers and a polo neck jumper.
Adding a touch of colour to her gorgeous ensemble, Naomi accessorised her look with a leopard print cross-body bag, a large pair of black sunglᴀsses and white trainers.
During her shopping day, the star was greeted by an array of fans as she was spotted posing for a selfie with one of Prada’s employees.
Guarded by two security men, Naomi appeared in high spirits as she explored the fashion capital.
Her outing comes just hours after her friends revealed that she is focused on her children – but has no man in her life.
Friends of the model, who will be the subject of an exhibition at the V&A this summer, say that reports of a romance with close pal Mohammed Al Turki are wide of the mark.
Al Turki (‘Mo’ to his friends) is the boss of the Red Sea Film Festival. He accompanied Naomi to the BAFTAs in London in February, and the pair were seen holding hands on the night.
She has also been spotted wearing an enormous diamond ring.
However a dear friend of Naomi told the Mail: ‘It isn’t a romance – all her friends know that he is actually in love with another model and in a settled relationship with them.
‘Naomi is single and focuses on her children and her sobriety.’
Naomi, born in London, now lives mostly in New York. In May 2021 she took the world by surprise when she announced she had welcomed a daughter – at the age of 51.

She told Vogue magazine: ‘I always knew one day I would be a mother, but it’s the biggest joy I could ever imagine.’
Two years later, in June 2023, she announced the arrival of her son.
Both children are believed to have been born to a surrogate and Naomi has yet to reveal the names (or faces) of either.
She has been friends with Al Turki for around a decade and is rumoured to get $1 million every time she walks a red carpet in support of his festival, which is bankrolled by the Saudi Culture Ministry.
At a special birthday event held for Naomi last year in France, Mohammed was seen sat right by the birthday girl for the evening.
Spokesmen for both Naomi and Mohammed declined to comment on the extent of any financial arrangement, or the nature of their friendship.
