She was once the face of Wonderbra. And Eva Herzigova offered a peek of her former assets at Milan Fashion Week on Saturday. The 40-year-old looked as gorgeous as ever in an almost-sheer black lace-style dress from the Autumn/Winter womanswear collection by Emilio Pucci.
The model from the Czech Republic wore a matching pair of open-toe black sandals as all eyes watched her gracefully walk up and down the length of the runway on the penultimate day of the show. Herzigova began her modeling career after winning a modeling beauty contest in Prague in 1989 at the age of sixteen.
The mother of three became the focus of the world’s attention following the Wonderbra campaign in 1994. It featured a close-up of Eva wearing a Wonderbra and used only two words: ‘Hello boys’. The influential poster was featured in an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and it was voted in 2011 as the most iconic outdoor adverts during the past five decades by UK advertising body, the Outdoor Media Centre.
The blonde bombshell married Tico Torres, the drummer from Bon Jovi, in September 1996, but the couple divorced in June 1998. Herzigová and her boyfriend, Gregorio Marsia,j have three sons: George, Philipe and Edward. Based in Florence, Emilio Pucci clothes and accessories are sold through boutiques worldwide and in high-end department stores. They often feature brightly coloured, swirly, prints or variations the Italian designer’s original distinct style.
Emilio Pucci himself died in 1992, but his daughter, Laudomia, continues to design under the Pucci name. The next big event in the fashion calendar is Paris Fashion Week, which begins on February 25 and runs until March 5.
