Laetitia Casta Stars in H&M's Holiday Lingerie Campaign
French actress and model Laetitia Casta heats things up in H&M's Holiday Lingerie Campaign, which features newly refined feminine styles laden with luxurious details. You've probably noticed some of these images running in your favorite fashion magazines - tell me these aren't steamy! Laetitia is one of my favorite models and it's great that we're getting to see more of her lately (like her recent cameo in Rihanna's "Te-Amo" music video). This season's H&M Holiday Lingerie collection boasts heart-shaped push-up bra styles that fasten at the back or the front, plus full briefs or retro high-waist bottoms. Whether you love lace, sequins or sparkle, H&M has you covered for the holidays. UPDATE 11/13/12: The lingerie collection retails from $4.95 - $34.95.
