Naomi Campbell has gone all-out for her billionaire boyfriend's 50th birthday party in Jodhpur after hiring out the entire 15th century Mehrangarh Fort.

A team of staff have been working day and night to get the venue ready for Vladimir Doronin's party on Wednesday and their efforts seem to have paid off.

With a high-profile guest list including Kate Moss, Jamie Hince, Bob Geldof, Sarah Ferguson and Diana Ross, the scene is being set for one of the most lavish parties they've ever seen.

 

The enormous venue has kept to Rajasthani themes, with the main room decorated in bright colours, with comfortable beds and cushions scattered everywhere.

One room offers more muted tones, with cream and white beds lining the walls.

Following the Bond style e-invites that guests received, which featured images of Vladimir underwater a la 007, a giant portrait of the birthday boy and Naomi posing under the title For Your Eyes Only has been hung in the main party room.

                                                         

                                              

Diana Ross, who's reportedly been paid £500,000 to sing at the party, will perform in the Zenana Courtyard.

The singing superstar was spotted arriving at the airport in Jodhpur wearing an all black ensemble with no make-up and was closely followed by Sarah Ferguson.

It has 347 rooms, with one including a large indoor swimming pool, and serves as the principal residence of the erstwhile Jodhpur royal family.

Vladimir will no doubt be utterly impressed with his girlfriend's organisation skills.

The couple began dating in 2008 and have become known for throwing lavish parties for each other - Vladimir hosted a grand bash for Naomi in the French Riviera for her 40th.
