The Queen's Sexiest Cousin Gets Her 'Angel' Wings

Filed under: Apparel

Stunning aristocratic British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (above), who's said to be a cousin of the Queen of England, has earned her "wings" and been anointed as the newest Victoria's Secret Angel. Huntington-Whiteley, who has appeared in the lingerie purveyor's eye-popping fashion shows, has also modeled for the likes of Burberry, Agent Provocateur and the Pirelli Calendar. She is the only current British Angel and joins Lindsay Ellingson, Emanuela DiPaula, Candice Swanepoel and Chanel Iman among the newcomers. The Angels are VS' spokesmodels and have their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Former members include Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen.

Terry Richardson Shoots the 2010 Pirelli Calendar

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

For the past 40 years, Italian tire company Pirelli has issued a limited-edition calendar to a select list of VIPs - the kind who have fleets of Pirelli-shod Ferraris - featuring scores of nude supermodels. As we reported back in December, the 2009 Pirelli Calendar features an African theme and was shot in Botswana by famed photographer Peter Beard with models including the stunning Isabeli Fontana, Malgosia Bela, Daria Werbowy and Raquel Zimmermann (along with a fleet of agreeable elephants and not a lot of clothes).

The 2010 calendar was just shot by fashionably perverted lensman Terry Richardson in Brazil with a whole new crop of beauties, including stunning upper class British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (above), who's said to be related to the Queen of England. Huntington-Whitely has sizzled before in campaigns for the likes of Agent Provocateur and Burberry. You can check out some video footage after the jump, but be forewarned - it's possibly NSFW and the running commentary is in Italian.

V Day Reminder from Agent Provocateur

The other day we wrote about the sexy new Virgins collection from Agent Provocateur. Now the luxe British lingerie line has come out with an incendiary Valentine's Day reminder in video form, entitled Love Me Tender. Starring stunning upper class British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (above), who's said to be a distant cousin of the Queen of England, the video involves "a rudimentary plot involving office work, trenchcoats, bondage-by-sock, revenge, and cleaning ladies" - plus, of course, an eyeful of Rosie. We're not sure how effective this will be in terms of selling more lingerie, but it's certainly an attention-getter to say the least. You can check out the video here.

Sexy Stars of Burberry's Cool New Ad Campaign

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey is basing the British fashion house's new Fall/Winter 2008-09 ad campaign on one of our favorite movies from last year, rock photographer Anton Corbijn's Control.

Bailey hired Mario Testino to mimic the moody flick about Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis in the ads, which are shot in black-and-white like the movie.

Sam Riley, the talented actor who played Curtis in Control, stars alongside sexy British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, right, who's said to be a distant cousin of the Queen of England. If so she must be one of the somewhat overbred Windsor family's more attractive relations.

See the gallery for an image from the new campaign and more.
