Despite the fact the first Calvin Klein advertisement with nude Eva Mendes was banned by the critics for being too obscene, the brand again asked the actress to show off her gorgeous body. This time she isn’t absolutely naked but still revealing much.
The 35 year-old is posing with Irish model Jamie Dornan, 27, both covered in body oil in the new ad for CK underwear.
One image shows Eva gracing alone wearing just lingerie and stockings. She looks very hot!
At another photo a sweaty-looking Eva strips down to lacy lingerie as she puts her head on Jamie’s chest. Both lying on the floor.
This picture shows a naked Eva being given a piggy back by Jamie, who models his glistening six pack. And also he covers her breasts as she poses topless in a pair of jeans.
The new ads will grace U.S. billboards and be published in glossy magazines including Vanity Fair and GQ from next month.
The black and white photoshoot was made in Palms Springs, California by famous photographer Steven Meisel.
Talking about the shoot, Eva said:
I loved shooting with Steven and we had a great time on-set with Jamie.’
Jamie, Keira Knightley’s ex-boyfriend, was equally pleased to work with Eva and Calvin Klein:
Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear are both such iconic American brands, that to play a part in these campaigns is a true honour.’
Working alongside the sensationally sexy Eva Mendes on both shoots was incredible.’
Eva said her first work with Calvin Klein was great and she felt really frustrated when the photos were banned. She even criticized her country for being too conservative:
I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity.’
We seem ok with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor. I’m not at all ashamed or frightened about showing my body.’
But CK bosses appeared surprisingly enthusiastic by the controversy. Tom Murry, president and chief operating officer of Calvin Klein Inc. said:
This development is not entirely a surprise for the U.S. market.’
We believe the commercial is exceptional and hits the mark for Secret Obsession.‘

If I had that body, I would pose nude, too. Good post. Very interesting.
Seems like the peeka-boo squad complains just because they are not as good looking, but want to look all the same themselves. Good advertisement meant for the “tough” (really so so soft–hehe) at heart. Seems like progressive marketing to me (and since I have been part of it, well, obviously I understand).
