Naomi Campbell, Lara Stone Weigh In on Preparations for Kate Moss's Upcoming Wedding to Jamie Hince
>> Few details have surfaced on Kate Moss's upcoming wedding to Jamie Hince on July 2 — besides Hince denying that Moss is wearing a John Galliano-designed wedding dress — and Naomi Campbell won't peep, either.
When asked whether she would be serving as Moss's maid of honor, Campbell wouldn't confirm or deny: "Now that would be telling." She added: "But I am so proud of Kate. I love Jamie and I can't wait for the wedding. Jamie's such a nice guy, he's the one for her. It's going to be an amazing day and I'm on the phone with her all the time. It's going to be really nostalgic because we have grown up together and Kate getting married is an amazing moment. It shows we've all grown up but we are still the original supermodels. We'll still party, even though Kate's getting married, I don't think that will change us.'
Lara Stone, who is also attending the wedding, recently said that she's still figuring out what to wear: “I’m having a panic about it, I mean what do you wear?” Stone added that she recently stayed up until 7 am in Los Angeles to watch the British royal wedding live. “I cried — she’s now a princess,” she noted of Catherine Middleton.
