Psst... Has Natalia Vodianova retired from the catwalk?

Could this be the end of Natalia Vodianova's catwalk career? Page Six is reporting that, after last week's final Valentino show, the popular Russian model is retiring from the runway.

As a show of thanks, Valentino is sweeping Natalia off to Moscow for a week and then to Brazil for Carnivale. "She may do another show in the future," revealed a source, "but only for $500,000 or this large pink diamond she's had her eye on."

Who can really blame Vodianova for choosing to bow out? Not only has she become a hugely successful model in her own right, she also has three children under the age of seven. Even still, we'll be sad to see her go...

>>> Meanwhile, Elle Macpherson is reportedly hitting the catwalk again for the sake of good ol' Aussie fashion. The stunning supermodel is set to return to the runway for a special presentation during New York Fashion Week on February 8, to showcase collections from Australian designers Josh Goot, Jayson Brundston, Camilla + Marc, etc.
