Gisele's a belle

SEXY GISELE BUNDCHEN knows a short cut to getting maximum attention — posing in just tiny pants.

The supermodel, 28, donned her shorts to help Aids charity appeal (Red). A series of saucy pictures appear exclusively in this month’s Elle magazine.

In another snap, the Brazilian paints a very pretty picture as she poses in an art-inspired shoot.

Dressed down in slouchy socks and over-sized shirt, the beauty playfully kicks her leg up in the air as she splashes paint on a canvas.

She said: "I grew up in a country strongly affected by poverty.

"On street corners you see kids doing things on the wrong side of the law.

"The face of suffering isn't an abstract thing for me, and I've always said to myself that if I could do something to help, I would.

"Follow your instincts and your heart: if you are able to buy and help others at the same time, why deny yourself the pleasure?"

Money is generated through the charity's partners, who design and sell specific products and contribute a share of the profits to invest in African Aids programmes.
