Merry ChristMoss: Kate slips into some lingerie for new ad campaign

It might be cold outside but Kate Moss doesn't appear to be having any trouble keeping warm.
Draped across an unmade bed, the supermodel slipped into some underwear and stockings, posing seductively for lingerie brand Valisere.
And the 37-year-old is proving she is still in enviable shape.

Come to bed: Kate Moss models for lingerie brand Valisere

Looking flawless in the Triumph brand's designs, Kate will no doubt help shift the underwear in time for Christmas - as hundreds of men rush out to create a similar look for their partners at home.
The model does her best Brigitte Bardot impression with backcombed, tousled hair and come-to-bed stare.
This is not the first time Kate has modeled for the brand.

Still got it: The 37-year-old model is still in enviable shape after over a decade in the industry

Last year, Kate appeared in a similar shoot, looking equally glamorous.
The mother-of-one recently came under fire for 'copying' a jewelery ad campaign.
Kate was modeling her own collection of jewellery designed for French brand Fred, which contains a number of pieces inspired by her many tattoos.

Sixties chic: With a sultry pout and tousled hair, Kate takes inspiration from Brigitte Bardot

The pictures were taken by Sonia Sieff and show Kate in a sexy 'come-hither' pose with tousled blonde hair.
Last year, Kate was photographed by Peter Lindbergh in a campaign for David Yurman's Spring 2011 collection in which she also appears with tousled hair and sultry pose.
The similarities between the pictures have been slammed by Kate's previous employer who say they are used to people copying them.

Familiar face: Kate also modeled for the Triumph brand last year

'The Fred campaign is embarrassingly similar to the one David Yurman ran a year ago,' a spokesperson for Yurman said.
But judging by these pictures, it seems wispy hair and sultry poses are Kate's signature look.

'Tis the season to be sexy: Heidi Klum and Imogen Thomas give their fans a Christmas treat as they dress up as saucy Santas

They are two of the sexiest women in showbiz and are always game for a laugh when it comes to the dressing up box.
And with the Christmas season firmly upon us, Heidi Klum and Imogen Thomas couldn't resist digging out a seasonal costume to have some fun with.
They certainly gave their fans a treat as they posted pictures of themselves dressed as sexy Santas on their Twitter pages.

Mrs Claus: Heidi Klum posted a sexy Santa picture of herself on her Twitter page as a Christmas treat for her fans and followers

Heidi, 38, donned a huge red and white Santa coat and big black belt which set off her long toned and tanned legs nicely.
She teamed the coat - which she wore as a dress - with heels and white furry cuffs around her ankles.
The model got someone to take her picture as she stood in a lift and as she posted it to her Twitter, she wrote: 'Mrs Claus going to work'.

Christmas comes early: Imogen Thomas posed for a photo dressed in a strapless sexy Santa costume and thigh-high socks

Meanwhile, Imogen, 29, also took to her Twitter page as she got in the saucy Santa groove while cooking an early Christmas dinner.
Dressed in a sexy red and white fur-trimmed strapless dress and thigh-high candy cane stockings, she posed for the camera as she whisked gravy in her cosy kitchen.
As she stood by her oven in her kitchen, Imogen posted the photo to her Twitter page, along with another one and said: 'Xmas time. Lush day.'

Delicious: Imogen whisked at her gravy in her festive outfit

This is not the first time that Imogen has tweeted a sexy Christmas picture of herself.
Last month, she gave her followers a sneak peak from a festive photo shoot wearing very little indeed.

She's such a tease: Imogen Thomas poses for a festive photo shoot in a pair of red Santa knickers and shared one of the pictures on her Twitter page

The Welsh glamour model brought Christmas forward for her army of fans as she posted the photo which showed her with her back to the camera in front of some presents, precariously squatting in towering high heels.
She wore red knickers with 'Sexy Miss Santa' on the back, which she teamed with red-trimmed black stockings.
Imogen had just finished the shoot with fashion photographer CJ Hadlow, who is also the editor of Trés Chic magazine.
And she took to her Twitter page and wrote: ' 'Just on a shoot with the gorgeous brilliant super fab @cjtreschic christmas is gonna be ultra sexy! May post a pic in a bit ;-) x'
And post one she did, saying: 'Hello my darlings...happy early Xmas ;-.'
Imogen is set for a relaxed and stress-free Christmas at home with her family in Wales especially after a drama-filled year following her involvement in the Ryan Giggs injunction scandal.
Last week, she was spotted celebrating with a trip to Harrods after footballer Ryan Giggs yesterday accepted there was no reason to accuse her of blackmailing him.
In a High Court hearing, a judge hinted that he might lift the injunction which is supposed to ban any reporting of an alleged affair between the two, asking whether there was 'any point in maintaining the anonymity'.

'Under the stars and on the ruins': Richard Branson gives away daughter Holly during wedding on his fire-ravaged private island

 

Newlyweds: Holly Branson was due to marry Fred Andrews on her family's private island yesterday

The idyllic spot was left fire-ravaged after a terrifying blaze as her family slept.
But Necker Island has sentimental value for Holly Branson, so nothing was going to stop her wedding shipbroker Fred Andrews there yesterday.
The 29-year-old doctor tied the knot 'under the stars on the ruins of the main house'.
Her Virgin boss father Sir Richard - who owns the £60 million Caribbean resort - and mother Joan Templeman married on the same day in 1989 when Holly was eight and her brother Sam was four.
The mogul shared his excitement before the nuptials yesterday.
'Very happy day today,' he said on his blog.
'Giving away our daughter Holly to an absolutely delightful husband (and family).'
He then posted a snap of his own wedding with his two young children.
Joan can be seen wearing a long-sleeved lace dress, her hair in a typical 1980s perm.
Sir Richard, now 61, wears a matching white suit to his adorable fair-headed offspring.
He wrote: 'Here’s a photo of the last Branson family wedding on Necker Island also on December 20th but some years ago.
'Holly and Fred will get married at exactly the same spot, but unlike us, chose to wait for their children until married.'
He added that the day after the ceremony, friends of the family announced they were getting married.
Holly then told him: 'They can't be getting married. They haven't had any children yet!'
He is yet to release a photo of his gorgeous daughter in her highly-anticipated wedding gown, which has had people guessing over which designer she has chosen.
During an inaugural Virgin America flight between San Francisco and Palm Springs this week, Sir Richard told the San Francisco Chronicle he would be celebrating his daughter's wedding 'under the stars on the ruins of the main house, where I was married many years ago'.
Around 100 guests were expected, although only 22 could be housed on the island in the six cottages that survived the blaze and on Sir Richard’s catamaran.
Among them were Princesses Beatrice, 23, and Eugenie, 21, along with their mother, the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson.
The Queen gave the young royals permission to excuse themselves from a pre-Christmas lunch with the rest of the family at Buckingham Palace.

A source said: 'It’s a sure sign that the Queen has mellowed a little.
‘It used to be the case that attendance at the lunch was as non-negotiable as Trooping The Colour is in the summer.
'Of course, with new family members to accommodate this year, perhaps there was quite relief the girls couldn’t attend.’

It is understood Prince Andrew's daughters did not have to rough it on the beach and were offered a cottage.
The music at the ceremony including a spine-chilling performance via Skype by a young South African girl by the name of Cleo Megan Filander.
Sir Richard posted a video of the song on his blog and the girl can be seen holding up a personal message to his daughter abd new husband.
It reads: 'To Holly & Freddie. Wishing you many happy years together. Lots of love Dad.'
Sir Richard explained: 'Met this lovely 11-year-old in South Africa recently. Her name is Cleo, she dropped in via Skype for Holly’s wedding and thought it might be nice to share this song with anyone who wants to hear it.
'She’s from the Townships near Jo’burg. Absolutely astounding voice.'

The Necker Island fire started in the early hours of August 22 after a lightening strike by the tropical storm Irene.
The eight-bedroom home was left gutted by the 800ft flames.
Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet, who was staying on the island with her two children and ex-boyfriend, famously carried Richard's 90-year-old mother Eve down a flight of stairs.
Branson insisted afterwards that the wedding would go ahead.
'We have a wedding to celebrate in December and I can’t imagine giving my daughter’s hand in marriage anywhere other than on Necker Island beach,' he told ITV News.
The island, which he bought for £180,000 in 1979, is used by both family members and friends but can also be rented for £34,000 a night.
Plans to rebuild the Great House are underway.

Before the catastrophe: The island, which he bought for £180,000 in 1979, is used by both family members and friends but can also be rented for £34,000 a night

'Plans to rebuild the Great House are already under way and in the meantime the island will be able to cater for slightly smaller groups to stay on island with the newly refurbished six Bali Houses, as well as Sir Richard Branson’s private home Temple House and his 105ft luxury catamaran Necker Belle, to substitute for the bedrooms lost in the Great House.
'As for the Great House itself, much of the beautiful features of the former Great house will be incorporated into the new design to ensure it retains its authentic Balinese style with panoramic views of the Caribbean but will include a couple of new and innovative twists!'
And straight after the fire, Richard said: 'It’s very much the Dunkirk Spirit here. We want to rebuild the house as soon as we can. We have a wonderful staff here and we want them to stay in work.
‘We will rebuild the house as soon as we can. We’ll all stay here. There’s a lot of damage but we’ll create something even more special out of the ruins.'
