Well she is a lingerie model! Lily Aldridge exposes lacy underwear despite freezing temperatures at Sports Illustrated party
|
The who's who of the modelling world came out to celebrate Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 50 Years Of Swim in New York City on Tuesday night.
Held at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Beach House, there was plenty of taut and tanned flesh on display as the industry's hottest exports paraded their enviable physiques down the black carpet for photographers.
While cover model Nina Agdal chose a more demure look for the occasion, exposing just her back in her feminine and flirty blush-coloured frock, mom-of-one Lily Aldridge decided to avoid an accidental wardrobe malfunction by simply putting it all on show to begin with.
Well that's one way to get attention! Sports Illustrated cover girl Lily Aldridge went for full-frontal exposure in her daring slit skirt as she made her way into the magazine's 50th Anniversary Swimsuit Edition party in New York City on Tuesday
Having second thoughts? Despite her killer body, the mom-of-one appeared a little self-conscious as she posed with her legs crossed so as not to flash too much of her black lacy underwear in her risqué ensemble
The 28-year-old stunner picked out a black crop top and a rather unusual matching black high-waisted wrap skirt that was slit almost to the waist, flashing her black lace knickers to the world in all their glory.
The Victoria's Secret Angel certainly has the body to pull off the risqué look, though she surprisingly appeared somewhat self-conscious as she posed with her legs crossed as she made her way into the bash.
As always, her hair was styled to perfection, with soft waves framing her face, which featured beautifully-applied natural make-up and contrasting bright red lips.
Supermodel sandwich! Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary Swimsuit Edition cover models Chrissy Teigen, Lily Aldridge and Nina Agdal (from left) got to grips with each other as they cosied up on the black carpet
Closer! Chrissy, Lily, and Nina proved their tight bond as they snuggled up for a more intimate photo
No, you look hotter! Lily and Nina battled it out for cover queen status as they perused the magazine
Quite the contrast! Unlike her fellow cover stars, Nina Agdal chose to cover up her famous curves, exposing only her toned back in her pretty and feminine blush-coloured gown, which she teamed with strappy sandals
What a ham! Chrissy Teigen showed off her supermodel figure in a relatively demure beige minidress with glamorous cream sequin overlay, paired with metallic burnt orange stilettos, as she got playful for the cameras
Chrissy Teigen was relatively demure - for her at least - as she made her way to the party on the arm of her dapper husband, singer John Legend.
The 28-year-old donned a beige minidress with glamorous cream sequin overlay that complemented her sunkissed skin, while she added length to her pins with shiny burnt orange stilettos.
The playful newlywed hammed it up for the cameras, pulling faces as she posed on arrival.
Stylish couple: The Sports Illustrated favourite was accompanied to the event by her husband, singer John Legend, who dressed warmly in a black suit and long coat in stark comparison to his scantily-clad wife
Charlie's Angels eat your heart out! The glamazons stole the show as they made their way into the bash, stopping to pose for photographers on the carpet as they displayed their very different, individual styles
Va-va-voom! Anne V put her best assets on full display in a sheer black maxi-dress worn over high-waisted black briefs and a matching bra as she attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 50 Years Of Swim celebration
Natural beauty: The 27-year-old Russian left little to the imagination in her see-through ensemble, which she paired with sleek platinum locks and fresh, natural make-up enhanced by a pop of colour in the form of an orange-red hue on her lips
A feast for the eyes: Cris Urena dared to bare in a dazzling colourful sequinned napkin frock that perfectly enhanced her long, lean limbs and toned back
Plunging! Genevieve Morton (left) put her ample bosom on display in her cream and black colourblock gown which was unzipped to her bellybutton, while Kate Bock's cutout LBD exposed her chest and stomach for dramatic effect
Work it, girl! Petra Nemcova was a vision in her stunning purple frock, which featured a relatively demure thigh slit in comparison to Lily Aldridge's underwear-baring number, completing her bombshell look with cascading blonde curls and picture-perfect make-up
While all eyes were trained on the three gorgeous 50th anniversary cover girls as they eagerly awaited their arrival, Anne V certainly didn't let that deter her from doing her best to steal their spotlight.
The 27-year-old former Victoria's Secret beauty - real name Anne Vyalitsyna - graces the pages of the special anniversary edition in a striking deep metallic bikini and seemingly opted for similar attire for Tuesday's bash.
The Russian-born leggy blonde left little to the imagination as she donned a see-through black maxi-dress over high-waisted black briefs and a matching bra.
A kiss for his sweetheart: A proud John Legend planted a peck on his wife's cheek as he whispered sweet nothings in her ear in a private moment during the festivities
American Beauty: Hannah Davis also approved of the sheer trend, opting for an intricately draped black gown with an inbuilt black leotard, paired with plenty of gold bracelets, slicked back sleek locks and winged eyeliner
Metallic mermaids: Bregje Heinen (left) and Chanel Iman both had the right idea with their respective gold and silver dresses, with Bregje opting for a showstopping short, backless number while her counterpart kept it demure in a draped Grecian-inspired gown
She's still got it! Christie Brinkley, 60, showed her much younger counterparts how to still look sexy without overexposure as she slipped into a little black dress with billowing sheer sleeves and matching stockings
Angelic: Natasha Barnard (left) and Hannah Ferguson (centre) kept it simple in a short white dresses, while Marloes Horst made a fashion faux pas by wearing the same colourblock midi-dress Lily Aldridge wore on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the night before
She kept her accessories to a minimum so as not to detract from her ensemble, while she added some height to her already impressive 5ft 10in frame with strappy black stilettos.
Her long platinum locks were styled dead-straight and worn over one shoulder, and her make-up was fresh and natural, with just a swipe of orange-red on her lips.
Other featured Sports Illustrated models representing at the party included Cris Urena from the Domincan Republic, who donned a colourful sparkly sequinned backless napkin dress that would have looked right at home on an ice dancer at the Winter Olympics.
She comes from the land Down Under: Australian beauty Jessica Gomes was ravishing in red satin, which she accessorised with a dramatic cape-like white jacket worn casually over her shoulders
Black and gold: Rachel Hunter (left) and Emily DiDonato had similar ideas when it came to their colour palate, though Rachel went for a more rockstar style as opposed to Emily's classic look
Ready to party: Even at 53, Carol Alt (left) wasn't afraid to bare a little cleavage, though she partially covered her black maxi-dress with a matching fur stole, while Elsa Benitez chose a decidedly regal style gunmetal number with voluminous gathered side bustle
Date night: Ariel Meredith and New York Giants NFL player Hakeem Nicks made a smart couple as they hit the carpet together, showing off their unique styles
South African Genevieve Morton let her ample bosom do the talking in her plunging cream and black colourblock gown, which was rather daringly unzipped down to her bellybutton.
However, while she may have looked fabulous, Marloes Horst unwittingly committed a rather embarrassing fashion faux pas when she rocked up in the exact same white, black and sand-coloured colourblock midi-dress that Lily Aldridge wore to promote the magazine on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the night before.
The party served as the official launch of the 50th anniversary Swimsuit Edition, which hit newsstands across the country today.
What a trio! Sara Sampaio, Anne V and Irina Shayk (from left) all gave their best smouldering looks as they joined up inside the bash for a photo op clad in contrasting black dresses
Young love: Australian singer Cody Simpson looked proud as punch to be on the arm of his gorgeous model girlfriend Gigi Hadid, who accentuated her enviable body with a figure-hugging red and white patterned midi-dress with side cutouts
The cat that got the cream! The 17-year-old couldn't contain his excitement at being the thorn between two roses - girlfriend Gigi (right) and fellow model Chanel Iman
She can do demure too: Robin Thicke's now-infamous Blurred Lines music video co-star Emily Ratajkowski was chic and sophisticated in her emerald frock
Optical illusion: Lauren Mellor added some extra curves to her already curvaceous figure with a well-placed white pattern down each side of her little black dress
The three cover models have been busy doing the rounds promoting the issue on television and radio interviews ahead of the magazine going on sale.
However, it seems not everyone was quite so approving of the cover shot.
The Today show deemed the image too racy for morning TV, opting to cover the women's bikini brief-clad bottoms with a digitally-added red ribbon for the unveiling.
Blondes have more fun! Daniela Peštová (left) and Rachel Hunter could have passed for sisters with their golden locks and delicate features as they cosied up together
The originals: Rachel Hunter, Carol Alt and Daniela Peštová (from left) proved they've still got what it takes to be Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models
Model magic: Elsa Benitez (left) and Irina Shayk couldn't resist taking part in a good old fashioned pose-off
Not exactly dressed for a pool party! Bregje Heinen's gold figure-hugging dress could have passed for a wetsuit, though she looked pretty reluctant to get onboard with the beach theme of the event
