LVMH owns approximately 75 luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Tiffany & Co., Sephora and Moët & Chandon. 

Vogue France was thrilled they could break the news of Vodianova's pregnancy.

'Between two runway shows, at the start of the year, Natalia Vodianova confided in me that she was pregnant,' wrote Vogue France in their Instagram caption as they presented the cover.

'Her sixth child, at 44. I knew immediately that she had to be our summer cover star.'

Vodianova was born in a poor section of Gorky, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union, now Russia.

She has said that the family was so in need of funds that she was forced to help her mother sell fruit on the street to support the family.

Having a sibling with autism and cerebral palsy added to the stress. 

At the age of 16, the family's luck changed when she was discovered by a modeling scout.

That led to her moving to Paris where she worked for Vogue and Vanity Fair.

She also had campaigns with Gucci, Guerlain and Stella McCartney.

In February 2021, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) appointed Vodianova as a goodwill ambassador. 

Vodianova met Justin Portman, 56, a British property heir, at a Paris dinner in 2000.

They married in November 2001 when she was eight months pregnant. They have a total of three children together: two sons born in 2001 and 2007, and a daughter born in 2006.

They separated in 2011 and divorced later that year.

Vodianova announced her engagement to Arnault in 2019 and they wed the following year at a Paris city council.
