Australian-born, New York-based hottest rising star on the celebrity brand modeling horizon, Jessica Hart has moved on from being a cover girl for glossies — she’s just been named the face of US lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret and Australian swimwear company Seafolly.
Though Hart’s modeling career closely follows that of her Australian counterpart Miranda Kerr, she’s getting to be known down under just now. Hart, 23, recently did Seafolly’s photo shoot for its international campaign on a private island off the coast of Cairns in Queensland, Australia.
(Recall then 19-year-old Catherine McNeil was modeling Seafolly beach and swimwear just under a year ago?)
I can’t wait to the photos, but then word has it that Victoria’s Secret is toning down the sexy aspect of lingerie ads… but I figure with Jessica in front of the camera, that could be a hard thing to do.
Hart has also talked about launching her own designs. “I’m also in talks with people to design my own line of clothes in collaboration with a charity, but I can’t say much on that right now,” she said.
Obviously she’s expanding her resume, so she’s the one to watch out for, as these pictures from Sports Illustrated’s 2009 Swimsuit Issue prove beyond any doubt:

British “It” girl, celebrity of sorts, Peaches Geldof is branding the new summer collection of lingerie of Ultimo with her heavily tattooed body, cute face and strawberry shake.
Can’t say if the tattoo is meant to cover the 20-year-old’s tiny tummy, but the photo shoot does seem to make up it by focusing on her ‘almond’ eyes and puffy push-ups in provocative poses.
Anyways, Peaches has commented on her “puffy” shapes saying that she would like young women to have normal body and look at normal figures, like her own, instead of worshipping the anorexic models.
But will the youngs ones will look up to her? Especially after her recent scandalous divorce, which shocked her family and friends alike, and said something her rebellious nature?
Perhaps all that doesn’t matter — at least not to Ultimo boss Michelle Mone who was impressed by Peaches’ topless shots on the beach, that made the tabloid round a while ago.
Mone said “Peaches was the perfect choice for this campaign. She’s young, edgy with lashings of style,” as reported by Marie Claire.
Sources say Peaches was signed up in a six-figure deal for the Ultimo campaign… a couple of the ads here:

Former Liberty X singer Jessica Taylor has hit the media and the stores alike as the “face and body” of Tesco’s new designer lingerie brand Diamond Boutique.
The ‘Dancing On Ice’ contestant said she was thrilled to showcase the brand, adding that it gave her an opportunity to do things she really enjoyed — fashion and modeling.
“It also gives me the chance to show off the results of all my hard work from Dancing on Ice,” said the 28-year-old model. “It’s going to be very exciting seeing myself in the aisles – if slightly nerve wrecking!”
The Diamond Boutique range is the creation of Michelle Mone, founder of the Ultimo underwear brand.
Mone said: “The styling and quality of the fabrics will not be compromised at all. But when you’re talking about the volumes we’ll have in Tesco, you can get incredible deals on fabrics.”
Tesco has described the range as “one of the first high-fashion lingerie lines to be stocked in a supermarket”.
Jessica is married to Kevin Pietersen, former captain of the England cricket team. The couple own a number of investment properties in the Lancashire city of Lancaster which they currently rent out.

Guys, courtesy Agent Provocateur, British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is sending a rather not-so-subtle warning about what to expect should you neglect your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day.
In a one-off video called Love Me Tender… or Else shot by Greg Williams for for the lingerie firm, Huntington-Whiteley plays a girl whose boyfriend stands her up on Valentine’s Day as he has to work.
Obviously, the gorgeous 21-year-old, who’s being hailed as the next Kate Moss of the fashion world, doesn’t take very kindly to this news. She decides to teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget — blindfolding and smacking him — while, of course, dressed in some of Agent Provocateur’s sexiest lingerie including black undies, stockings, suspenders and high heels.
Huntington-Whiteley, best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret, is also the Burberry model, and earlier this month fronted Karen Millen designs as well.
More still photos of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley from the video:
