The All-Time Hottest Celeb Underwear Models
By Michael Arceneaux
If you're finding it difficult to catch a glimmer of hope during these tough economic times, take comfort in knowing that companies are still willing to fork over seven-figure paydays to celebrities just to get a peek at their underpants.
With her new deal to model Armani undies, "Transformers" babe Megan Fox is the latest star to cash in on our collective obsession with celebs in their skivvies. Although Megan may be one of the hottest trou-droppers in recent memory, she’s certainly not the first to show off the undergarment goods. Here’s a recap of the all-time sexiest star underwear models.
David Beckham
Given his status as a superstar sex symbol, it’s no shocker that Emporio Armani tapped soccer god David Beckham to show off his bod to promote the brand back in 2007.
Victoria Beckham
What's good for the celeb goose is good for the posh gander. After her hubby famously stripped down to promote Armani’s underwear line, Victoria Beckham decided that it was her turn to show off her figure for the same designer earlier this year.
Mark Wahlberg
He wouldn't smile so wide if you mentioned it now, but back in his “Marky Mark” days Mark Wahlberg brought joy to women the world over in his infamous Calvin Klein underwear ads. Good vibrations, indeed.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Displaying nothing but a shirt, a smile, and her panties (obvi), Jennifer Love Hewitt managed to make her Hanes underwear turn into an ad that's as wholesome as apple pie. Grandma would be so proud.
Jesus Luz
He might have an amazing personality, but we gather there was something else about 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz that brought out the cougar in Madonna. He's the catnip to Madge's boy toy in this Intimissimi ad.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Although she’s known more for her body of work than showing off her body, Maggie Gyllenhaal took a detour in September 2007 when she decided to bare quite a bit for Agent Provocateur's bondage-inspired ad campaign.
Eva Mendes
Never known for being the shy type, Eva Mendes let a few more of her inhibitions loose and turned an already sexy concept into something even sexier when she joined the Calvin Klein underwear campaign in July 2008.
Nelly:
When you're a multi-platinum rapper, chances are you're used to going shirtless and letting the world see your underwear via sagging pants. That made it all the more easier for Nelly to serve as the first underwear model for Diddy's Sean John line.
Dita Von Teese:
In true retro fashion, the seductive burlesque artist shows off her curves in 1940s pinup lingerie for this Wonderbra ad.
Antonio Sabato
Before he channeled his inner Flavor Flav and circus sideshow act for reality TV fame, Antonio Sabato Jr. first caught the nation's attention via peeks of his Calvin Klein briefs nearly 20 years ago.
Djimon Hounsou:
Those tighty-whities may now be the property of Kimora Lee, but two years ago the world was free to ogle model-actor Djimon Hounsou when he took part in a global campaign to promote Calvin Klein Steel.
Hilary Swank
Hilary Swank earned the attention of Oscar voters for her portrayal of a transgendered man in 1999’s "Boys Don’t Cry." She earned everyone else’s when she showed off her much softer side in these racy ads for Calvin Klein.
Justin Gaston
Though they described his now dead relationship with Miley Cyrus as “puppy love,” there’s not much innocence going on in Justin Gaston’s ad for the online underwear retailer International Jock.
