EMILY PRESCOTT: Naomi Campbell remains mum over Vivienne Westwood memorial no-show
The greats flocked to Dame Vivienne Westwood’s memorial service last month, but the absence of supermodel Naomi Campbell — pictured below with Vivienne in 1993 — seems to have baffled the designer’s son, Joseph Corre.
“I thought I’d see her there,” he says. “I don’t know why she couldn’t be there.”
Sources tell me that Naomi, 52, who once tumbled on a runway in a pair of 9-inch Westwood heels, missed the show at Southwark Cathedral due to “personal reasons.”

Oh dear… the Hemsley sisters are cooking!
They’ve written books together and co-hosted a TV series – now Melissa and Jasmine Hemsley have taken their close relationship one step further – they’re pregnant at the same time!
Melissa, 37, is six months pregnant and the news follows an announcement from older sister Jasmine, 43, that she is expecting her second child.
The pair are known for their “clean eating” cookbooks, but Melissa tells me she’s been craving something more indulgent lately: cheese.
And there won’t be any books or TV work for a while because Melissa is happy to just relax until the baby arrives, telling me at the Neon Future Dreams event, “I just want to sit on the couch and watch Strictly and not have to come make up all the excuses to go out!’

Why pajamas are for high flyers
Do you think pajamas are pajamas? Then you are going in the wrong circles.
Toffs’ Bible Tatler has released a list of modern abbreviations you’ll need to mingle with the British elite – for whom a PJ is basically a private jet.
Likewise, the UN is not the United Nations, but that greatest of modern insults, an “ugly fake baby” — the child of a star cashing in on their fame — and TMI doesn’t mean “too much information,” but something much worse: “too many influencers’.
TME has changed from ‘too many Etonians’ to ‘too much exposure’ and BITC is no longer ‘bored in the country’ but Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
And FILTH is not ‘failed in London, try Hong Kong’, but rather ‘flatless in London, try to go home’.
5HS refers to the posh London members’ club 5 Hertford Street, where you might see a VN or two, but certainly not MCMs – ‘middle-class monsters’.
