She's know as The Body, but last night it was all about the hair.

She has clearly been taking style tips from fellow supermodel Kate Moss, who was the first to set the big bang trend late last year.

The mother-of-two walked attended the Femmy Gala on her own, but she is not short on male company.

The 44-year-old has been linked to Vito Schnabel - the 21-year-old son of Oscar-nominated director Julian Schnabel, according to reports.

Rumours of the rumoured romance have sent celebrity watchers into a spin, with the New York Post writing: "Move over, Demi Moore, there's a new cougar in town."
