Avatar celebrity Zoe Saldana is set to take on a new role as the face of Calvin Klein’s Envy brand of underwear.
The 31-year-old actress has been shot by acclaimed photographer Michael Jansson for the sultry ads for Calvin Klein’s new range of underwear, which should debut in glossies this October.
“Calvin Klein has always put forth such beautifully executed campaigns. It’s very exciting for to be associated with such an iconic, globally recognized brand,” said Saldana.
The Hollywood star, who recently announced her engagement to boyfriend of 10 years Keith Britton, will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Diane Kruger, Eva Mendes, Fergie and Kate Bosworth.
“We feel strongly that Zoe’s natural beauty and authenticity in the upcoming Calvin Klein Underwear campaign will resonate with our consumers,” said Tom Murphy, Calvin Klein president.
“I guess I’m a role model now, and that is a privilege. I think women were fighting because we wanted to be feminine. Then we had to be masculine. Now we just want to be us,” Saldana added.
I can’t believe I didn’t find Kelly Brook making the celebrity brand circuit for nearly a year – but thank heavens she’s back, this time more heavenly than ever as the new face and body of sensual lingerie from Ultimo.
Ultimo creator Michelle Mone OBE said: “Kelly is a natural beauty and is effortlessly sexy, making her the perfect choice for Ultimo. She epitomises the Ultimo woman and looks incredible in our new designs.”
“This campaign is our most striking yet and represents the qualities of the new range: irresistibly sexy, luxurious, aspirational and feminine. The pictures really do speak for themselves.”
And you bet they do. How can you NOT listen to the 32E-26-36 figure that’s screamin’ at ya?
Some brands are forever. And so are some models and celebrities. And Kelly, now 30, has matured only to appear hotter than ever, and she’s here to stay.
Welcome back, Kelly!

Transformers hottie Megan Fox has just made room for Victoria Beckham to get out of Emporio Armani underwear – cuz Fox has been signed up to model Armani intimates as well as jeans.
The buzz is that the 23-year-old once-upon-a-time ‘Hope & Faith’ actress will hitting the high end of the normal Armani payout — which is just around $2 million.
The global economy must be recovering — at least in the celebrity/fashion world. Why else would Giorgio Armani be signing up top of the line celebs, like they’re donuts or something? (He signed up Cristiano Ronaldo to pitch Armani men’s underwear and Armani jeans less than a fortnight ago.)
I guess I know what you’re thinking… would Fox and Ronaldo appear together in an underwear ad? Far off chance, I’d say, but you never know…
Hold the horses — Australian model, actress and TV presenter Annalise Braakensiek has just launched her own eco-friendly line of ‘plus’ size lingerie.
‘Bra’akensiek’s bras will specialize in C-F cups and will be launched in August, reports theage.com.au.
“It’s green,” explained Braakensiek about her brand “Annalise Exclusive for Bras ‘n Things”.
“No toxic ink, organic cotton, organic bamboo, sustainable produce, the swingtags are recycled cardboard and even attached with organic twine. As eco-friendly as I can possibly make it. Looking after girls with bigger boobs and looking after the environment at the same time.”
So what inspired Braakensiek to create her own line?
“It’s been a dream of mine since I started modeling and a lot of my modeling was in Italy with beautiful brands like La Perla,” the gorgeous model said.
“So I was wearing these beautiful garments but they only go up to a maximum D cup and I’m an E cup. It was so frustrating.”
“It’s something that’s been needed for so long,” she says matter-of-factly.
“I started working on this three years ago. There were no fashionable large sizes. I think it’s great now women of all sizes can get lingerie that suits their personality.”
Was the 36-year-old bombshell think twice before stripping off for the photo shoot?
“Oh, darling, this is what I do. I’ve been getting my kit off for years.”
I didn’t think she’d be nervous, especially after seeing the campaign where she posed naked for PETA.

“The Rampage line is comfortable and the cuts are very feminine,” said Refaeli, 24. “It always fits perfectly to the curves of a woman’s body – I have curves and I feel really good in it!”
The fall campaign will debut in September issues of fashion and lifestyle magazines such as Elle, Lucky and Cosmopolitan as well as be featured on outdoor advertising and online at fashion and lifestyle websites.
“We were looking for a fresh new face to follow our spring campaign with Gisele Bundchen and when we met Bar we instantly fell in love with her,” said Dari Marder, chief marketing officer, Rampage.
“Bar is sweet, young, sexy and beautiful just like our Rampage customer. We look forward to a wonderful partnership.”
The Rampage campaign was shot by famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon at an estate in Los Angeles. Refaeli wears Rampage clothing, accessories, intimates and footwear in a variety of set ups from posing seductively in lingerie to a more innocent playful stance in sportswear for the campaign. The campaign was created by the Iconix in-house marketing team.
Who do you think suits Rampage better? Anyways, Rampage seems to be developing a penchant for changing its spokesperson on a whim — wasn’t it less than six months ago that Gisele replaced Petra Nemocova?
Go ahead and zoom in on Bar and Gisele photos. They won’t bite… unfortunately.
