Thought she couldn't get any sexier? Think again! Miranda shows off her Kerr-ves as she goes topless for French magazine

After years of walking the Victoria's Secret catwalk, it's common knowledge that Miranda Kerr looks great in lingerie.
But just in case there was any doubt, these photos prove she looks just as good out of it.
The Australian model can be seen posing for French fashion title Jalouse in these sultry black and white shots which connote an element of 1960's playfulness.

Daring: Miranda Kerr is the cover star of the new issue of French magazine Jalouse

In one photo, the 29-year old can be seen staring seductively at the camera as she coquettishly crosses her arms together, sandwiching her breasts.
As well as a Louis Vuitton skirt which is a patchwork of white and sheer squares, the only items she wears are a large hat and a necklace of oversized pearls.

 

The photos were taken by Sebastian Mader, an German photographer who is based in New York and is renowned for his glossy editorial shoots.

In another photo, Miranda who is mum to two-year old Flynn, her son with Lord Of The Rings actor Orlando Bloom, is pulling up her dress to reveal her long, toned legs.
Miranda, again wearing a wide-brimmed hat, stares directly at the camera as she coyly lifts one side of her full length dress to the top of her leg.
Her incredibly long legs are again on show in a photo that builds on the 1960's vibe of the shoot. 
In the photo, Miranda stares head on in to the camera, with her arms slightly away from her body.

Sexy sixties: Miranda has an element of the swinging sixties about her in this outfit and beehive haircut

Wearing flat shoes with perspex sides and black toe and heel caps, Miranda looks doll-like.
Her hair is piled on top of her head in a chignon, and a slight length of ribbon wrapped around the crown gives the style a playful edge.
Miranda's spidery false eyelashes and glossy, bee-stung lips are not the only changes to her usual look.
Her eyebrows have been filled in darker than usual, which adds to the intensity of her gaze, which is particularly apparent in the shot used on the cover.
In this image, Miranda has her head titled back, and a rose between her teeth.

Supermodel Miranda Kerr has sold her Manhattan bachelorette pad after telling friends she wants more room for her family, MailOnline can reveal.
The 29-year-old Aussie brunette has moved out of the stunning Sex and the City-style apartment in the hip New York building that was designed by, and named after, Jade Jagger, after putting it on the market for $1.345 million.
The willowy model has shrugged off all rumours about her marriage to actor Orlando Bloom, and has revealed she wants more space for their two-year-old son Flynn and their family.

Miranda first put the apartment on the market in November 2010 for $1.395 million and then reduced the price by 16 per cent to $1.175 million in February 2011.
However, it is currently listed as being 'in contract' after being put on the market again for $1.345 million.

 

The Victoria's Secret beauty originally bought the property for $1,084,436 in 2006 and also purchased a smaller apartment on the same floor, which is currently being rented - and had been used for Flynn's nanny, according to friends.
One source said: 'Miranda said is was moving out and she wants more space for her family.'

Amid the swirling rumours, the model told People they were concentrating on their young son as they were often separated by work.
Speaking earlier this month, she said: 'We are really enjoying our time with Flynn at the moment. He’s such a ball of love and he’s so wonderful.
'And we are both so busy that I think it’s nice to have that time together and not rush any other babies for now.'
The couple have been married since 2010, and Miranda admitted although she was often kept apart from the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 36, they keep in touch.

Severe morning sickness in early pregnancy 'puts Kate and other expectant mothers at more risk of pre-eclampsia'

Severe morning sickness that blighted the early weeks of the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy could cause complications for mother and baby, doctors said yesterday.
Those who, like Kate, need hospital treatment for the sickness before 12 weeks of pregnancy are around 20 per cent more likely to be at risk of pre-eclampsia, a study has found.
But experts said they hoped the timing of Kate’s sickness, which came early in her pregnancy, meant she would escape the most worrying consequences because the condition is most hazardous when it occurs during the middle three months.
In early December, the Duchess was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a rare disorder that triggers severe vomiting during pregnancy.
Kate, whose baby is due in July, was forced to cancel engagements following repeated bouts of sickness and dehydration.
But Palace officials say she is now making a steady recovery and she has been seen out and about in public looking much better.
Her condition is most common in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, after which the symptoms ease in most sufferers.
But the new research suggests that when the condition occurs during the second trimester, it can lead to serious complications in later pregnancy that need close monitoring.
The complications include pre-eclampsia, which raises the woman’s blood pressure leading to strokes and even death, premature separation of the placenta from the womb lining before birth, and having a small baby.

 

The study, published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, examined data from the Swedish medical birth register between 1997 and 2009.
Data from 1,155,033 women showed that 1.1 per cent of them suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum before they were 22 weeks pregnant. The condition is caused by high levels of the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, and a woman’s sensitivity to it.
Researchers compared data from women having normal pregnancies to those who needed admission to hospital for treatment in the first or second trimester of pregnancy.

Danger: Pre-eclampsia is more common in first-time pregnancies and can lead to premature birth, still birth and babies being born smaller than average

They found a slightly increased risk of almost 20 per cent in the rate of pre-eclampsia in women who were hospitalised with sickness before 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Pre-eclampsia is more common in first-time pregnancies and can lead to premature birth, stillbirth and babies being smaller than average.
As many as one in 20 first-time mothers develop pre-eclampsia, while around 20 women die each year from conditions linked to high blood pressure. It is thought to claim the lives of 600 babies a year in the UK.

The breathtaking moment thrill-seeking surfer catches 'world's biggest wave' off the coast of Portugal

This thrill-seeking surfer was but a speck on this enormous wall of water as he appeared to set a new world record for the biggest wave ever ridden.
Surfing legend Garrett McNamara caught the towering wave - believed to have measured around 100ft - off the coast of Nazare, in Portugal, yesterday.
If the claims are verified the U.S. born athlete will have successfully beaten his own record, which was also set at Nazare, when he successfully rode a 78ft high break at the end of 2011.

Monster wave: Garrett McNamara is said to have broken his own world record for the largest wave ever surfed when he rode this 100ft crest in Nazare, Portugal

Mr McNamara, 45, was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, but his family moved to Hawaii's North Shore when he was 11 where he followed in his older brother Liam's footsteps and began to surf. He started competing professionally at the age of 17 and spent ten years on the circuit with his brother.
His previous record breaking ride in 2011, described as 'inspiring' by fellow pro-surfers, beat the previous record by one foot.

The surfer's latest breathtaking feat came yesterday, as huge waves crashed off the coast of Nazare throughout the day.
The exposed beach break in the north of the country attracts surfers all year round.
McNamara risked being forced dozens of feet beneath the water, or slamming into a reef or the ocean floor, if he had wiped out on the massive wave.

PREVIOUS RECORD RIDERS

1. Garrett McNamara, 78 ft wave
Nazaré, Portugal in November 2011

2. Mark Parsons, 77ft wave
Cortes Bank, California in January 2008

3. Pete Cabrinha, 70ft wave
Jaws Beach, Maui in January 2004

4. Brag Gerlach, 68 ft wave
Todos Santos, Mexico in December 2005

His 2011 record was confirmed by a panel of experts at the annual Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards.
He had skillfully rode a 78ft wave - beating the record held by Mike Parson since 2008.
The surfer said at the time that hearing his name announced at the awards ceremony gave him 'a bigger rush' than actually riding the wave.
'It’s amazing we get to do what we do, I am so grateful,' he said at the ceremony in California.
'I didn’t want to get caught up in it all, but I have to tell you the truth, when they announced my name I got a bigger rush than probably on all the waves I rode this year.'
Mr McNamara's record-breaking began as early as 2007, when he became the first man to ride a glacier wave on a surf board.
Teamed up with a colleague on a jetski, he spent three weeks camped out by the 400ft Child’s Glacier in Alaska waiting for the perfect wave.
The couple were filmed riding the giant grey wave caused the glacier calving, which is when a mountain-sized block of ice breaks off the glacier.

Thought you'd given up modelling? Agyness Deyn poses in brand new shoot as she talks about husband for first time

She announced in October that she's decided at the ripe old age of 29 to retire from modelling to instead pursue a Hollywood movie career.
But it seems for Agyness Deyn that may be more difficult than she first thought as old ways die hard.
The model, or should it be former model, has posed up a storm once more as she graces the cover and inside pages of the new issue of InStyle magazine.

Back to her modelling ways: Agyness Deyn poses up a storm for InStyle magazine as she returns to her roots ahead of her new movie career

Deyn looks every inch the supermodel in the shoot as she shows off her waif like figure.
On the cover she smoulders in a cute vintage style white and red ensemble with stripey heels as she sits crossed legged.
But it's inside where she gets back to work like she used to.

Retired at 29: Agyness gave up modelling last year to pursue acting but was happy to pose for Rankin for the March issue of InStyle magazine

Agyness, who will turn 30 next month, wears a black and white checked two piece for one photo, while in another she dons a hard hat.
Still in keeping with the black and white theme, she dresses up the builder look with plenty of eyeliner, nails manicured to perfection and a cute white shirt with bow detailing.
The last picture shows her looking very Twiggy-esque thanks to her cropped hair and dark eyeliner.

Beautiful builder: She shows off her model looks as she opens up about her husband Giovanni Ribisi and her upcoming acting career

This time she's seen in a see-through checked top as she opens up here eyes big and looks up at the camera for celebrated photographer Rankin.

Cover girl: Agyness appears on the front of March's InStyle magazine

Indeed, she seems to have swung right back into life as a model - albeit just for the one shoot for now.
But it's acting that Deyn spoke of while carrying out the shoot for March's InStyle.
When asked by the publication if she just woke up one day and decided to act, she simply replied: 'Yeah.'
She then added: 'Yeah, I just kind of felt I’d got to point where I was craving something a little bit different. I called up my agent and said: "I want to be an actress. He was like, cool".'
And she also opened up for the first time about her surprise wedding to actor Giovanni Ribisi late last year.
Agyness said: 'I don’t know. I suppose you meet someone and you’re just like… you know.
'Obviously, if someone’s marrying someone, they’re bringing a lot of really good stuff... So...'
But she said the pair never go through lines and their acting work together.
She added: 'No! That’s so funny. We don’t. He’s incredible. He’s my hero.
'No, but obviously, if I was like, a teacher, I’d come home and be like, ‘This kid at school… blah, blah, blah’. So, obviously, we talk about our jobs. I can’t really answer that. We’re both like, really private people.'
