Kate Moss in behind-the-scenes shots for annual topless Pirelli Calendar

Is this the smallest bikini ever? Kate Moss in behind-the-scenes shots for annual topless Pirelli Calendar

She's known for having no inhibitions as she poses topless in front of the camera, and during her downtime.

So it seemed pointless that Kate Moss donned a barely-there bikini which failed to cover her small frame - especially when the shoot was for a naked calendar.

The supermodel ultimately poses without any clothing for the final version of the famous Pirelli publication, in the name of 'art'.

Itsy bitsy: Kate Moss poses for the annual Pirelli calendar in this barely-there bikini, but ultimately ended up going topless

But in these behind-the-scenes shots the mother-of-one wore a flesh-coloured two-piece as she pouted and posed for celebrity photographer Mario Sorrenti against a concrete building.

• She's at it again: Veteran exhibitionist Kate Moss never tires of stripping for Pirelli calendar

Kate showed off her taut stomach and toned legs in the tiny garment.

She was given a natural look with minimal make-up and slicked back hair.

Kate and eleven other stunning women were flown to Murtoli on the Mediterranean island of Corsica for the week-long assignment before she married rocker Jamie Hince this summer.

He calls it art: The supermodel strikes a pose for Italian photographer, Mario Sorrenti, who she dated when she was 17

Locations used included abandoned old farmhouses as well as the blue seawater with backdrops of rocky outcrops - with security guards keeping onlookers at bay to stop sneaky pictures being taken.
The never-before seen shots have just been released by tyre manufacturer Pirelli to hype up the exclusive 2012 calendar, which was launched on December 9 in New York.
Among the other beauties included in the calendar are David Walliams wife Lara Stone, Ukranian actress Milla Jovovich and Dutch model Saskia de Brauw.

Time-out: The mother-of-one gets a touch-up before its back to work in the scorching sun

Its 25-photo spread includes 18 black-and-whites and seven coloured pictures.

An insider on the set said: 'It was a fantastic assignment with the emphasis really being placed on feminine beauty and the pictures are fabulous the girls look really, really sexy.'

Since it's inception in 1964, Pirelli has instructed leading photographers to capture the world's most beautiful women on film for the exclusive calendar solely as a gift for royalty, celebrities and VIP customers.

Prince Andrew is said to be a regular recipient.

What was the point? The bikini covers barely anything on the Croydon-born model

It is the second time that Kate has appeared in the Pirelli calendar.

By coincidence Sorrenti is an old boyfriend of Kate and he photographed her several times during the 1990's for the designer Calvin Klein.

The two have remained close friends despite splitting up.

Kate said of her friend: 'We've known each other since I was 17 - we were boyfriend and girlfriend for a couple of years. He adores women.

'He really loves the female form and everything about it.'

Mario, who used to be a model before moving behind the camera, is known for his spreads of topless models in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.

He has also known Milla since she was starting out in the fashion industry as a teenager.

In fact Milla feels so confident with him that she said recently: 'Mario is pretty much the only person I would take my clothes off for'.

But Mario has insisted that, despite the nudity, the 2012 calendar is not sexy.

It was top secret: Security guards kept onlookers at bay to stop sneaky pictures being taken

He told Women's Wear Daily: 'You know, originally I thought I was going to do very sexy pictures, and when we got there I realized that I didn't want the pictures to be sexy at all.'

'I meant that they're not 'obviously' sexy. I didn't want them to be posing and arching and like sticking their boobs in my face or anything like that.

'I thought that's what I wanted, that it would give the most immediate impact, but then I realized that wasn't important.... I was trying to just really focus on them and the environment and let that blossom together somehow.'

Going for the natural look: The model shows off her clear skin and slicked back hair

According to reports the models and crew all stayed together in houses on Corsica, while Sorrenti spent 'the morning with one girl and the evening with another, and we'd all have dinner together'.
The theme, chosen by Sorenti was 'swoon', for which he explained: 'In "swoon", I put the bodies in direct contact with Nature, which harbours them as if they were its extension, in a set of images where rocks, land, tree trunks, sky and sea are all turned into a backdrop for the bodies.'
Last year's edition had a theme of Greek and Roman mythology.

Kate Moss slips into some lingerie for new ad campaign

It might be cold outside but Kate Moss doesn't appear to be having any trouble keeping warm.

Draped across an unmade bed, the supermodel slipped into some underwear and stockings, posing seductively for lingerie brand Valisere.

And the 37-year-old is proving she is still in enviable shape.

Come to bed: Kate Moss models for lingerie brand Valisere

Looking flawless in the Triumph brand's designs, Kate will no doubt help shift the underwear in time for Christmas - as hundreds of men rush out to create a similar look for their partners at home.

The model does her best Brigitte Bardot impression with backcombed, tousled hair and come-to-bed stare.

This is not the first time Kate has modeled for the brand.

Still got it: The 27-year-old model is still in enviable shape after over a decade in the industry

Last year, Kate appeared in a similar shoot, looking equally glamorous.

The mother-of-one recently came under fire for 'copying' a jewelery ad campaign.

Kate was modeling her own collection of jewellery designed for French brand Fred, which contains a number of pieces inspired by her many tattoos.

Sixties chic: With a sultry pout and tousled hair, Kate takes inspiration from Brigitte Bardot

The pictures were taken by Sonia Sieff and show Kate in a sexy 'come-hither' pose with tousled blonde hair.
Last year, Kate was photographed by Peter Lindbergh in a campaign for David Yurman's Spring 2011 collection in which she also appears with tousled hair and sultry pose.
The similarities between the pictures have been slammed by Kate's previous employer who say they are used to people copying them.

Familiar face: Kate also modeled for the Triumph brand last year

'The Fred campaign is embarrassingly similar to the one David Yurman ran a year ago,' a spokesperson for Yurman said.

But judging by these pictures, it seems wispy hair and sultry poses are Kate's signature look.

Ever since she burst onto the scene in those topless Calvin Klein pictures, taking her clothes off seems almost second nature to Kate Moss now.

And just days after her latest nude photos for the new Pirelli calender were unveiled, the supermodel is at it again.

Moss, 37, has stripped off once more and this time it's to promote her new jewellery range.

Furry nice: Kate Moss strips off and goes topless with just a rug to protect her modesty as she model her new jewellery collection for French company Fred

The Londoner smouldered for the camera as she went topless to show off her designs with just a fur rug and her arms protecting her modesty.


Kate has designed a range of jewellery for French company Fred, 22 accessories that are inspired by her tattoos including an anchor symbol that she and husband Jamie Hince both have inked.

The range launched at the beginning of October but this is the first time these pictures of Kate have been released.

That's one way to model jewellery! Kate covers her naked self with her arms as she shows off the rings from her range

And she looked very sexy as she posed with pieces from her collection including rings which range in price from £420 to £5,000.
Kate, who has been the face of several Fred advertising campaigns over the last six years, also posed with a long diamond and ruby scarf necklace from her collection which costs an eye-watering £30,000.
The collection is available in Fred stores in France and Tokyo and on the company's website and is also on sale at Harrods.

Get the credit card ready! Kate poses in a backless dress as she shows off her diamond and ruby necklace that costs a staggering £30,000

It's another string to Kate's empire bow, as she already boasts collaborations with TopShop, Rimmel and Longchamp.
Last week, the Pirelli 2012 calendar was released to its VIP customers and shows Kate naked in one of the shots.

In the stunning black and white photograph, she reclines on a rocky surface using her experience as a supermodel to remain professional and appear as comfortable as if she was perched on a soft cushion and not a hard slab of rock.
The calendar was shot by Mario Sorrenti in Corsica and also features a topless Lara Stone, wife of David Walliams, and naked Milla Jovovich - its 25-photo spread includes 18 black-and-whites and seven coloured pictures.

Victoria Beckham goes for Gothic glamour and Kelly Brook shines at British Fashion Awards

Victoria Beckham goes for Gothic glamour in a backless gown while angelic Kelly Brook shines in white at British Fashion Awards

She usually manages to upstage every fashion wannabe within her vicinity when she steps out in her own designs.

But tonight Victoria Beckham had to pull out all the stops as she rubbed shoulders with the hottest young fashionistas at the annual British Fashion Awards.

And the 37-year-old star, who took home the Designer Brand prize at the ceremony, certainly commanded attention as she arrived for the ceremony wearing a Gothic black gown.

From one extreme to the other: While Victoria Beckham opted for a black gown for the British Fashion Awards, Kelly Brook looked angelic in a pretty white number

While Victoria opted for dark and brooding for the British Fashion Awards, model Kelly Brook went for the opposite end of the spectrum in an angelic one-shouldered white dress, which featured a sexy thigh-high split.

The 32-year-old star teamed the dress with a pretty gold belt and a pair of animal-print heels as she posed for photographers.

Before the event, Kelly admitted she was feeling a little weary, tweeting: 'Back to London British Fashion Awards tonight! #tired'

Glamorous: The gown featured a low back and showed off Victoria's slender figure

Winner: Victoria with her prize after taking home the Designer Brand award

Meanwhile, mother-of-four Victoria paired her dress with a scraped back bun, and kept her make-up simple with a smoky eye and nude lips.

The simple design featured a high neck, low back and long train, leaving Victoria's shoes hidden from sight.

And there was no sign of any baby weight as Victoria, who gave birth to little Harper in July, posed for photographers at the highly-anticipated event.

Flashing the flesh: Kelly teamed the pretty dress with a pair of animal-print heels and a gold belt

It has been a busy few days for the former Spice Girl, who jetted in from Los Angeles yesterday with baby daughter Harper.

But there was no signs of jetlag as Victoria smouldered for the cameras at the event.

Posing up with famous friends including Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs, Victoria was undoubtedly delighted that her designs were recognised at such a prestigious event.

Full-length glamour: Abbey Crouch and Poppy Delevigne both opted for sweeping gowns

Where's your baby weight gone? Abbey looked slender as she posed for photographers outside the awards

Her husband David, meanwhile, is in Jakarta with his football team LA Galaxy where they will be playing an exhibition game on November 30 against an Indonesian all-star team as part of their Asia Tour.
Another WAG showing off her post-baby figure was Abbey Crouch, who wore a form-fitting suede studded dress for the occasion.
Also at the awards, held at London's exclusive Savoy Hotel, were fashion stars including Marc Jacobs and Annie Lennox's daughter Tali, who shone in a pretty gold gown.

Hoping to catch something? Kate Moss arrived for the ceremony wearing an unusual netted dress

Fashion pack: Victoria posed up with Marc Jacobs and Kate Moss inside the event

Alexa Chung wore a cute silver and white Christopher Kane number, while Poppy Delevigne opted for a dramatic paisley-printed number.
Trendsetter Olivia Palermo went for a ruffled knitted dress as models Georgia May Jagger and Amber Le Bon displayed their slim figures in detailed dresses.
Meanwhile, Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth decided to make the event a date night by attending with his wife Livia, who looked stunning in a gorgeous emerald-green silk dress.

Trend setters: Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung wore typically eye-catching outfits at The Savoy

Fashion's hottest young stars: Georgia May Jagger, Amber Le Bon and Tali Lennox shone at the awards

The pair, who married in 1997, looked more in love than ever as they posed for photographers at the event.
Firth, who took home the coveted Best Actor prize for his role in last year's hit movie The King's Speech, has spoken frequently about his love for his wife, and credited her support for his success.
Accepting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier this year, Firth said at the ceremony: 'When I look down there at that star, it's her name I see.'

Keeping it simple: Samantha Cameron and Amanda Wakeley both wore black outfits as they posed on the blue carpet

Date night: Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth attended with his stunning wife, Livia Giuggioli

Not everybody got it right at the prestigious awards ceremony, however.
Stella McCartney, who usually looks effortlessly chic at such events, missed the mark in an unflattering jumpsuit while Daphne Guinness went for another Lady Gaga-esque outfit in a geometric black dress.
However, despite her fashion faux pas, Stella took home the Red Carpet Award at the event, while the main winner at the evening was named as Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.

Missing the fashion mark: Stella McCartney and Daphne Guinness left a lot to be desired in their outfits

Posing up: Stella, who won the Red Carpet Award, posed for photographers with friend Kate Hudson

Burton shot to fame when she was revealed as the designer of the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Alexa Chung took home the British Style Award, voted for by the public, for the second year in a row.

Here come the boys: Designer Henry Holland, who appeared to have forgotten his socks, and James Long at the awards

Gemma Arterton rocks out on stage at HOPING Foundation Variety Show

Going hell for leather! Gemma Arterton shakes off her English rose image as she rocks out on stage at a charity event

By Marcus Barnes

Last updated at 4:18 PM on 22nd November 2011


She's a big screen pin-up full of English charm and delicate beauty.

But Gemma Arterton shook off her dainty image to rock it out on stage at a charity dinner last night.

The actress, 25, donned leather trousers and channeled Mick Jagger for her performance at the HOPING Foundation 'Variety Show', held at Cafe De Paris in Piccadilly, central London.

Unleashing her inner rockstar: Gemma Arterton takes to the stage at the HOPING Foundation dinner held at Cafe De Paris in central London

Gemma matched her rockstar-style bottoms with a black vest top and sparkly scarf, accessorising with a white blazer jacket and black heels.

The former Bond girl certainly appeared to enjoy hitting the stage, grabbing the mic and injecting some verve into her performance of Rolling Stones hit Sympathy For The Devil.

Apparently a 'gifted soprano singer' in her youth, Gemma unleashed her inner rockstar with ease.

Sing it sister! The actress was a talented soprano singer in her youth and recently admitted she'd love to do it more often

Leather lover: Gemma wore a snazzy pair of leather trousers to the charity event

In fact, she has been quoted as saying she would love to sing more given the chance.

Earlier this year she spoke to vogue.com at the Isle Of Wight festival and said: 'Sometimes I think I should do more singing than acting. I don't know if I could do it professionally but it's definitely a passion of mine.'

Also on hand to provide some glamour at the event, which was organised by the HOPING Foundation, were supermodels Kate Moss and Eva Herzigova.

Model behaviour: Supermodels Eva Herzigova and Kate Moss provided some glamour at the event

Eva, 38, flaunted her ultra-slim figure in a short red dress that showed off her almost neverending, long legs.

At one point it appeared a little too short as she spoke to chat show host Jonathan Ross - who compered the event alongside Alan Carr - the dress riding up to expose her rear.

Meanwhile, Kate Moss, 37, dressed all in black with a matching blazer, skirt and vest top combination.

Join my Culture Club: Boy George appears to serenade Kate Moss...

...and she joins him for a singalong to eighties hit Do You Really Want To Hurt Me

Always game for a singalong she willingly joined in when Boy George performed a blues version of famous Culture Club song Do You Really Want To Hurt Me.

The eighties star was dressed in his typically style, customary hat placed on his head, with a black suit adorned with sequins forming the shape of red roses on it and a tie featuring the image of a safety pin, again formed by sequins.

Jemima Khan, Meg Matthews, Jeremy Clarkson, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Jarvis Cocker were also on hand to lend their support to the charity.

Man in the middle: Jarvis Cocker is the centre of attention as he performs at the HOPING Foundation event

Pulp singer Jarvis also turned in a rousing performance at the event, with his own unique take on Phyllis Nelson’s Move Closer.

The evening raised £380,000 for the HOPING Foundation, which provides grants to grassroots community associations in Palestine who work with young people in its refugee camps.

The charity's name stands for Hope and Optimism for Palestinians in the Next Generation.

It aims to provide hope and encouragement to young people who've been displaced by troubles in the region and works to transform their lives.
