Susan Sarandon, sensational at 62

Scarlet woman: Susan Sarandon looks decades younger than her 62 years as she poses in fishnets and a feather boa

Reclining on the floor, a dazzling redhead wearing nothing but a pair of fishnets and a feather boa gives the camera a knowing smile.

On closer inspection, the alluring model is Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon, looking decades younger than her 62 years.

Sarandon, a staunch feminist despite her regular appearance in films in a state of undress, has stripped off for a good cause.

The Oscar-winning star is one of 23 stars - and certainly one of the raciest - who have recreated the style of seductive Hollywood pin-ups from the 1940s.

Celebrated photographer Timothy White convinced stars including Sarandon, Kate Hudson, Cindy Crawford, Vanessa Williams and Denise Richards to take part in the risqué images.

The sensational shots appear in White's coffee table book Hollywood Pin-Ups, with proceeds going to Oxfam.

Despite the sexual nature of the shots, White insists the women are empowered and confident.

He said: 'All the great pin-up artists glorified the female form without being offensive.

'My infatuation with the pin-up girl has never wavered. To me, she is much more than a beautiful image; she is an empowered woman.'

Adding to the fantasy theme of the
images, White believes he has the artistic licence to digitally manipulate and airbrush the photos to perfection.

Sarandon has been photographed by White for over 20 years and jumped at the chance to recreate the classic pin-up.

She tells the Los Angeles Times: 'There were all kinds of things going on simultaneously - I remember trying to keep the boa in place covering my breasts.

'I recall that it was a little bit chilly lying there on the floor. I was arching my back and they had to put my hair down and around with the boa on the floor.

'My rule of thumb is the most uncomfortable pose looks the best; it's all about where you put your hands and if you're stretching your neck. I think I was leaning my feet against something, but I'm not sure.'

In another image, Hudson gives a seductive look dressed in nothing but a fishnet bodystocking, straw hat and Christian Louboutin stiletto heels.

The 29-year-old gives an air of Park Avenue Princess behind closed doors with her diamond accessories and Anna DePasquale designer hat.

In another image, Crawford shows off her amazing figure in a red polka-dot bikini.

Wearing a brunette wig, Crawford, 42, is one of the few stars not looking at the camera in the sexy shot.

The images were inspired by Peruvian artist Alberto Vargas, who painted semi-naked women for Esquire magazine in the 1940s.

The girls became known as 'Varga girls' and were often painted on World War II aircraft.

Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova and the riddle of her missing belly button

Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova put her bombshell curves on show during a photo shoot in Miami over the weekend, but it was her peculiar belly button that was attracting all the attention.

The Czech blonde's unusual navel had onlookers perplexed as she frolicked on the beach over the weekend in a tiny white bikini.

It's not the first time her almost non-existent belly button has drawn attention.

A source has revealed magazine and catalogue art directors routinely airbrush one in for in post-production.

'Karolina’s body is amazing, but her belly button is unusual,' a fashion insider told Page Six magazine.

'It disappears in photos, so we keep a collection of belly button shots in different positions, and Photoshop them on to her whenever she’s doing a bikini picture.'

Still, if she was at all self-conscious, she didn't let it show as she posed up on the foreshore.

The following day she was once again strutting her stuff at the lingerie company's catwalk extravaganza.

She was among the 35 Victoria's Secret models to hit the runway, including Heidi Klum and Orlando Bloom's current flame, Australian Miranda Kerr.

R&B singer Usher opened the show at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel where the front row was filled with stars including Paris Hilton, John Stamos, Kim Kardashian, Martha Stewart and Klum's husband, Seal.

Karolina, who has appeared in campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel and Balenciaga, remains one of the most in-demand models.

Her advocates include photographer Mario Testino, designer Marc Jacobs and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who dubbed once dubbed her 'the next supermodel.'

While her popularity shows no sign of slowing down, she hopes to cross over into acting.

She recently filmed a small part in Sienna Miller's upcoming action move G.I. Joe, which is scheduled for release next year.
