Rosie Huntington-Whiteley says the secret to looking good in underwear is to avoid “vulgar pretending”.

The model-turned-actress has launched an underwear line for British clothes store Marks and Spencer called Rosie for Autograph. The 25-year-old beauty is no stranger to looking great in her underwear, having modelled for Victoria’s Secret.

Rosie says women should show off their natural assets rather than fake a cleavage.

“It’s not about being vulgar and pretending,” Rosie confessed to British newspaper The Sunday Times. “It’s about enhancing what you have.”

The stunning star has been the face of campaigns for Burberry and Louis Vuitton. Rosie has produced her latest career project in collaboration with Soozie Jenkinson who is head of lingerie design at the British clothing chain. Rosie says one of the reasons behind her desire to help create a line of underwear for women is her reaction to statistics about the amount of females wearing ill-fitting bras.

“[I found out] that one in three women in Britain wears the wrong bra size? That’s quite a shocking statistic,” Rosie explained. “My bust has changed over the past few years, recently I thought I was a 34B and I ended up being a 34A — quadruple A-ish.”

The Rosie for Autograph lingerie collection comprises of 33-pieces and is inspired by the glamour of the 1920s. It will be launched in selected stores and online on August 30.
