Victoria Beckham was in a black version of the Giles Deacon dress she wore for Fashion's Night Out to celebrate the launch of Diane von Furstenberg's boutique at Claridge's in London last night. Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow arrived fashionably late and were inseparable throughout the evening, which certainly combats rumors that the longtime friends are on the outs. Gwyneth was in high spirits, perhaps toasting to her new role opposite Bradley Cooper and Bruce Willis in an upcoming M. Night Shyamalan project. Posh arrived in England at the beginning of the month and has been hitting the town with her three sons while David's in South Africa for the World Cup. The Beckham clan is rumored to be planning a post-tournament reunion with a vacation in St. Tropez.

>> For a recent chat with the Financial Times's Vanessa Friedman, Marc Jacobs wore a white button-down shirt with jeans instead of his usual kilt; is his addiction to the skort waning, perhaps courtesy of his fiance Lorenzo Martone's dislike of the look? “I just didn’t feel like wearing it,” Jacobs explained.

As for his compulsive gym habit, Jacobs says he hasn’t “been able to work out at all,” due to a torn rotator cuff on his shoulder; he's having surgery in a few weeks. His predilection for purchasing art, too, has been curbed: “Actually, I haven’t bought anything for a long time. The other day I bought a little 1962 Ellsworth Kelly at the Christie’s auction, but that’s it. It was a funny thing for me to buy, too. It’s just a white square with a yellow curve. Usually I like more figurative work – this is the sort of thing I’d look at and admire but not want to buy. But I just like it . . . it makes me happy.”

>> Forbes just released their yearly list of top-earning models: Gisele Bundchen holds the top spot — which she's had for at least six years now — with $25 million in estimated earnings from June 2009 to June 2010.

In fact, there hasn't been a lot of movement in the list in the past year — for 2010, the top ten is exactly the same for the second year in a row, with the exception of Natalia Vodianova moving up from seventh position to tie Alessandra Ambrosio in sixth place.  Same goes for earnings — not a lot of change: Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Doutzen Kroes, Natalia Vodianova, Daria Werbowy are all estimated to be pulling in the same amount this year as they did last year, with the rest of the top ten's earnings only going up or down by half a million. Miranda Kerr is the only exception — she gained the most year over year, earning $4 million this year versus $3 million last year.

>> Fall 2010 campaign season is well under way — and although not all casts have been finalized, as is the case over at Miu Miu, many have, causing an influx of rumors and confirmations.  On Wednesday, Karen Elson joined Christy Turlington and Natalia Vodianova on the Fall 2010 Louis Vuitton campaign set in New York, where Steven Meisel photographed and Karl Templer styled. Meisel also shot the Lanvin campaign this week in New York, with Alber Elbaz overseeing another trio: Anja Rubik, Magdelena Frackowiak and Mariacarla Boscono.

Givenchy, too, is rumored to be going with a trio of female models — Ming Xi, Joan Smalls, and Mariacarla Boscono — joined by a few male models in front of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's lens. But the trio trend breaks there — word going around is that Meisel captured 12 girls for Balenciaga, including Finnish newcomer Kirsi Pyrhonen, and Roberto Cavalli is going solo with Gisele Bundchen shot by Mert and Marcus.

>> Louis Vuitton Reportedly Picks Two Models Who Didn't Walk Fall 2010 Runway for Campaign — After Louis Vuitton's voluptuous Fall 2010 cast featuring models in a range of ages — from Bar Refaeli to Elle Macpherson — there were many potential choices to lead the brand's subsequent campaign. But in fact, Marc Jacobs has reportedly gone with two models for Fall 2010, neither of which walked the runway — Natalia Vodianova, who sat front row at the show, and Christy Turlington.  The campaign will apparently be shot next week with Karl Templer, not show stylist Katie Grand, doing styling honors.
