Photographs: Emporio Armani Underwear campaign
These famous faces have dared to bare their fabulous bods for some of the world's most prestigious innerwear and lingerie brands. Take a look.
While in India stars are still getting used to appearing in bikinis and lingerie on screen, the who's who of the international celebrity circuit have no qualms showing off their well-toned figures for endorsements.
The latest hottie to jump on this bandwagon is Hollywood actress Megan Fox, the new face of Emporio Armani Underwear -- her sizzling new television commercial for the label makes its debut today and she's been joined by another megastar.
To know who it is and see other big names who have stripped off for innerwear giants in the last few years, move to the following pages!

Also in the news recently is 44-year-old supermodel Cindy, whose photoshoot with Russian retail outlet Tsum has just been released.
Despite competition from women half her age, the largest fashion department store in eastern Europe opted for the preturnaturally toned stunner to be the face (and body!) of their fall/winter line.
Brooklyn Decker

The 'Sexiest Woman Alive' may be too curvy for the catwalk, but she looks luscious in lingerie -- which is precisely why Brooklyn began endorsing intimates from Bare Necessities in March this year.

An unforgettable campaign from Ultimo in 2004 starred British model Rachel Hunter, then 35. And it also stirred up a controversy...
Penny Lancaster

Mainly because Hunter replaced the brand's first model and ex-hubby Rod Stewart's wife Penny. Talk about cut-throat rivalry!
Victoria Beckham

Everyone sees such contracts come and go, however. Emporio Armani used Megan Fox to replace the erstwhile Posh Spice, who stunned in black-and-white pics for the label last year.
David Beckham

In fact, Posh was signed on along with hubby David, who modelled the range of men's innerwear.
Kate Moss

Agent Provocateur and the British supermodel had a professional relationship that saw its ups and downs. It is believed that a fallout with the model in 2007 led to the brand dumping her for a younger model -- but she was asked to return only a year later to front another campaign for them.
Fergie

In the same year, singer of the Black Eyed Peas Fergie also stripped down to her flirty best for Japanese lingerie retailer Peach John.
Eva Longoria
