With her blonde bombshell looks and stunning curves, Eva Herzigova drew comparisons to the late Marilyn Monroe when she first leaped to fame in the 1994 Wonderbra campaign.
And nearly 20 years later, the Czech supermodel has aped the tragic Hollywood siren in a new advertising campaign for Brian Atwood footwear.
The model, who is six months pregnant with her third child, posed naked in a swimming pool - except for a pair of Atwood killer heels.

Well heeled: Eva Herzigova peels off for a Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot in the new Brian Atwood Spring/Summer 2013 campaign
The new Spring/Summer 2013 campaign appears to have been heavily inspired by Marilyn's famous pool scene in her last ever and unfinished film Something's Got To Give.
Marilyn swam nearly nude - save for a pair of flesh-coloured bikini bottoms - in a scene from the 1962 movie.
If the film was finished, it would have been the first time a mainstream actress had shot a nude scene in a movie. That honour, eventually went to Jayne Mansfield the following year in Promises! Promises!

However, shortly after filming the pool sequence, Marilyn was fired from the movie in June 1962 and died two months later.
Meanwhile, Eva announced she was pregnant with her third child in December.
The blonde and boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj already have two young sons George, five, and Philipe, 23 months.
Eva recently admitted she was enjoying motherhood so much, she gets emotional at the thought of her young sons leaving home when they grow up.

She said: 'Being a mother is a hard job, but it's the best in the world. Every day is something new and great.
'George is at a wonderful age. He's in love with his teacher.
'He's already trying to find out how I'm going to feel about it when he leaves home.
'He's like, "Mum, I'm going to marry and leave the house and have a family and are you going to miss me? How sad will you be?" It's a taste of what is to come.'
