Business as usual for Naomi Campbell as she relaxes on boat in millionaires’ playground

If the inconvenience of being dragged before a war crimes court has left any lasting impression on Naomi Campbell, it would be very hard to tell.
The supermodel was back to business as usual this week as she relaxed in the millionaires’ playground of Porto Cervo, Sardinia.
Campbell, 40, was spotted on the launch of a yacht with her boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin, Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Bar Refaeli.
The actor famously starred in the film Blood Diamond, which focused on the trade in illicit gems from war zones in Africa.
It would appear the irony was lost on Miss Campbell, who was accused in court of accepting conflict stones from African warlord Charles Taylor.
On Sunday night, Campbell attended a party at the ultra-exclusive Billionaires club in Porto Cervo, Sardinia.
Campbell, 40, looked stunning in a see-through white lace dress trimmed with pink feathers.

And for a woman who boasted in court of receiving gems at all hours of the day and night, the knockout ring on her right hand was probably de rigueur.
Campbell was at the event – the birthday party of jeweller Fawaz Gruosi – with Mr Doronin, Kevin Spacey, model Elisabetta Gregoraci, Janet Jackson and Formula One racing boss Flavio Briatore, who also owns the club and had a high-profile tempestuous relationship with Campbell nine years ago.
When Campbell appeared at The Hague last Thursday, she claimed her presence at the Liberian dictator’s trial was an inconvenience, an assertion which drew gasps from the court.
Campbell then went on to say she had received ‘two or three’ diamonds in the middle of the night but did not know they were from Taylor.
She said she had handed them over to Nelson Mandela’s children’s charity, which had been hosting the event she attended with the former Liberian president.
The model’s evidence was yesterday contradicted by both actress Mia Farrow and Campbell’s former agent Carole White.
They claimed she had always known that the diamonds were from Charles Taylor.
