Guarded by two security men, Naomi appeared in high spirits as she explored the fashion capital.
Her outing comes just hours after her friends revealed that she is focused on her children – but has no man in her life.
Friends of the model, who will be the subject of an exhibition at the V&A this summer, say that reports of a romance with close pal Mohammed Al Turki are wide of the mark.
Al Turki (‘Mo’ to his friends) is the boss of the Red Sea Film Festival. He accompanied Naomi to the BAFTAs in London in February, and the pair were seen holding hands on the night.
She has also been spotted wearing an enormous diamond ring.
However a dear friend of Naomi told the Mail: ‘It isn’t a romance – all her friends know that he is actually in love with another model and in a settled relationship with them.
‘Naomi is single and focuses on her children and her sobriety.’
Naomi, born in London, now lives mostly in New York. In May 2021 she took the world by surprise when she announced she had welcomed a daughter – at the age of 51.

She told Vogue magazine: ‘I always knew one day I would be a mother, but it’s the biggest joy I could ever imagine.’
Two years later, in June 2023, she announced the arrival of her son.
Both children are believed to have been born to a surrogate and Naomi has yet to reveal the names (or faces) of either.
She has been friends with Al Turki for around a decade and is rumoured to get $1 million every time she walks a red carpet in support of his festival, which is bankrolled by the Saudi Culture Ministry.
They have been fixtures at each other’s sides at many events since, including Cannes film festival last year, Paris Fashion Week in 2022 and 2023 and several exclusive parties, like Edward Enninful’s recent birthday bash.
At a special birthday event held for Naomi last year in France, Mohammed was seen sat right by the birthday girl for the evening.
Spokesmen for both Naomi and Mohammed declined to comment on the extent of any financial arrangement, or the nature of their friendship.

Fans have frequently called for the pair to get together, commenting on their many Instagram posts of each other, and predicting they would be ‘the next IT couple’.
The speculation comes only a week after Naomi set tongues wagging over her relationship status as she sported a giant diamond on her ring finger for the third time in recent months.
She was seen sporting the sparkling new accessory at former British Vogue editor Edward’s 52nd birthday at The Dorchester Hotel’s restaurant China Tang in London.

The British star was previously engaged to U2 bassist Adam Clayton in 1993, and was then also engaged to Italian businessman Flavio Briatore before they split in 2002.
Naomi was last in a relationship with rapper Skepta in 2018 but enjoyed a fling with One Direction’s Liam Payne the following year.
She has also enjoyed high-profile relationships with the likes of Diddy, Robert De Niro, Gerard Butler, Terrence Howard, Mike Tyson and Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin over the years.
Although she is notoriously private about her love life, the star has previously stated she is ‘on good terms’ with her exes and is not known to be dating anyone at present.
In a rare interview about her love life in 2021, Naomi said: ‘The sacrifice is really finding that soulmate who will understand you.
‘It’s really like you feel if they look at you as if you’re strong . . . I’m strong, but I’m also sensitive. I know that in relationships I have to compromise.’
