A new exhibit, featuring celebrities in a series of striking poses, is set to celebrate the seductive side of photography.

Raw Footage, opening at London's Opera Gallery on July 1, includes racy images of Kate Moss, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Charlize Theron and Marilyn Monroe.

The show, which is free to the public, displays the work of some of the world's top photographers - including Mario Testino and David Lachapelle.

The image of Kate Moss (above), shot by Mario Testino at a fish and chip shop in 2005, is just one of the striking images to appear in a new exhibit celebrating the seductive side of photography

Blonde bombshell: Marilyn Monroe also reclines in bed revealing inches of bare flesh for photgrapher Douglas Kirkland

Kate Moss is seen throwing an effortlessly smouldering look to camera - despite clutching a cigarette and wearing a men's tie, knitted socks and peep-hole sandals.

The image, shot by Mario Testino at a fish and chip shop in 2005, is just one of many likely to get pulses racing.

Rosie and Charlize appear nude in their black and white portraits, with white bed sheets maintaining their modesty. Meanwhile Marilyn Monroe reclines in bed, revealing inches of bare flesh.

The colour image - which went on to form the iconic With Marilyn: An Evening/1961 photo series - was taken by Douglas Kirkland just a year before the blonde bombshell died.

Other images in the Raw Footage show have an altogether glossier feel. Reflecting the rise of Photoshop, 'perfect' 21st century models appear with flawless skin in front of hyper real backdrops.

On the fashion front, ensembles include everything from fur jackets to silk negligees and sexy stockings - and the artfully-positioned bed sheet is also a popular accessory.

One photograph, shot by Gavin Bond and merely titled 'Legs', shows women from the waist down, wearing tiny pants and leather knee-length laced boots.

A spokesperson for Raw Footage said: 'While historically portraiture was used as a way to record and document our existence, fashion photography and its incorporation of the celebrity have become tools to define our contemporary aesthetic, consumer mentality and collective creativity.

'By presenting a garment or lifestyle as a commercial product, fashion photographers and their collaborators - designers, stylists, models and viewers alike – adopt the highest level of credibility as disseminators of a moment in cultural history.'

Raw Footage runs from July 1 to 18 at the Opera Gallery on New Bond Street, London, and is free to the public.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley got naked in the grass for a racy photo shoot captured in the Pacific Palisades by lensman Ben Hassett.

The British supermodel - who turns 28 next week - showcased her fantastic body while wearing little more than jewelry selected by Violet Grey fashion editor Simon Robins.

The 5ft9in stunner rocked red lips courtesy of make-up artist Alice Lane, a vampy manicure by Marisa Carmichael, and had her flaxen tresses coiffed by Jenny Cho.

'I was in London, and it was a different time. I honestly think I was a lot more free when I was younger.

'Kate Moss was my favorite supermodel; she set the standard in terms of nudity as fashion and art. I think being comfortable in one's skin is the most attractive quality a girl can have.'

The Victoria's Secret Angel - whose mother Fiona is a fitness instructor - maintains her flawless figure with an organic diet as well as yoga and Body by Simone classes.

'Beauty for me is about a good workout routine,' Rosie told the mag.

'[But] I don't want to be that miserable girl pushing a salad around my plate. At home, I eat clean, organic, simple. And when I go out with friends, I enjoy myself. I couldn't live life just restrictive all the time. It's just no fun to me. That's not a way to live. It's all balance.'

The Transformers actress wore a prosthetic baby bump for her role as Splendid in the action-adventure prequel Mad Max: Fury Road.

Huntington-Whiteley plays one of five captives of baddie Immortan Joe, who escape with Charlize Theron's character Imperator Furiosa.

The post-apocalyptic, Ozploitation flick - also starring Tom Hardy and Nicholas Hoult - hits UK theaters on May 14 and US theaters on May 15.

'Being a model, being an actress - it's not decided by you. You're chosen. You're cast, and that's fantastic, of course. There is always a sense of pride when you make the cut,' she said.

'But there has always been a big part of me that wants to make things happen for myself. I'd like to get myself into a position where I'm starting something on my own. That's my focus for this year.'

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley goes topless for a steamy fashion shoot in V Magazine's summer issue

PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley goes topless for a steamy fashion shoot in V Magazine's summer issue

She recently revealed that she prefers modelling lingerie to clothes.

But in a new fashion shoot for the summer issue of V Magazine - which hits the stands on Memorial Day weekend - Rosie Huntington-Whitely appears to have gone without her underwear, while keeping her clothes on.

In an exclusive sneak peak of the shoot - that has been styled by Rihanna's stylist Mel Ottenberg - Rosie, 27, goes topless in a number of poses as she models outfits by Prada, Celine, Saint Laurent and Gucci.

The striking star was catapulted into the spotlight after signing with Victoria's Secret in 2006 and now has her own underwear line for Marks & Spencer, and the model claims she would rather pose in skimpy smalls then in ready-to-wear because it makes her feel empowered.

She told the crowd at the Vogue Festival recently: 'I have been modelling lingerie for most of my career. I was booked for a lot of assignments early on.'

'I have always felt comfortable although you have your days and your girlie times of the month when you don't feel great and you go on stage with a bloated stomach.'

'But it is something I have felt confident doing and I love it. Clothes are usually trickier because there is a lot more to them!'.

However, Rosie insisted she would never pose naked for a job no matter how big the pay cheque since the images often get 'taken out of context' and are 'demeaned' outside of their original context.

The 27-year-old model also admitted her confidence has taken a knocking in recent years and she felt far more fearless when she was first starting out in the industry.

She said during the talk at London's Southbank centre: 'When I first started I had so much confidence. I was up for anything. In my early twenties and late teens I became a bit more insecure.'

Rosie almost didn't get her big modelling break, confessing that an agent at her teenage work experience at a model agency in London's West End initially advised her against it.

The leggy blonde recalled: 'It wasn't as glamorous as I thought I would be but I really enjoyed it. Someone was suggesting I should model but one of the agents called me aside and said 'I don't think this is for you, I think you need to go'.

'But I went back a year later and they asked me to model. I figured I would do it so I could at least see a photoshoot and I got my first job a day later.'

Tanned and toned: Rosie showed off her taut tummy as she modeled a pair of tailored grey trousers and a plain white top
