Megan Fox: "Naked…or Nearly"

Megan Fox’s new campaign for Armani was unveiled today, revealing her attempt at out-poshing Posh Spice, who along with husband David Beckham represented the upscale underwear line last season.

The “come-hither shots are frankly better than expected,” writes Gabriel Bell for New York Magazine. The photographers “have smoothed down some of Fox’s natural ‘hardness,’ adding intrigue to what was becoming a tired image,” said Bell.

Emporio Armani chose Fox for the campaign because “Megan is young and sexy and has a lot of spirit,” said Giorgio Armani, adding that his brands are “all about a youthful attitude, making her the perfect choice for the collections.”

The shots may have needed less retouching than the Beckham’s collection in part due to the fact that Victoria Beckham felt self-conscious about her stomach after having had three kids. She even swore she would never show her midsection, and told People she looked awful naked. “I’ve got so much saggy skin on my stomach. I might fit into jeans, but trust me, I look really awful naked,” she said in the interview. After the shoot she said the crew at Armani had done some excellent Photo shopping.

However, Fox may have had work done prior to the shoot that eliminated the need for such digital touch ups . Dr. Tony Youn of the Celebrity Plastic Surgery blog says of Fox, “There are two surgeries that people have focused on: rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. If I would have to guess, I’d say that she’s benefited from both.”
