She may be one of the most beautiful women in the world... but that doesn't stop Jessica Alba from getting airbrushed



Most women would be only too happy have Jessica Alba's stunning figure.



Just five months after the birth of her first child, the 27-year-old actress showed off her body in a series of plunging beachwear and skimpy tops for a new calender.

But those feeling envious can now breath a sigh of relief ... because even Jessica's curves were airbrushed before her latest pictures were released.

Leaked photos which have been posted on various internet blogs show an original shot of Jessica posing for Campari, in an image which was later airbrushed.



The newlywed is seen posing in a white strapless short suit with a black belt on the limited edition calender, snapped by celebrity-photographer Mario Testino.



However in the picture which is not airbrushed, Jessica looks softer and more natural.

In the before picture, Jessica reveals a stunning hourglass figure with a few more curves around the hips and waist.

The airbrushed version of the picture seems to have narrowed her chin slightly and added more makeup to give her a pin-up girl look.

The touch-up also seems to have removed some flesh from her already slim thighs and added some definition to her bust.

However the equally gorgeous picture proves that skinnier doesn't always mean better, as Jessica looks just as stunning before the retouch.



It also proves that the perfect images presented by celebrities are unobtainable - without the help of the airbrush at least.

Jessica poses with glass and bottles of Campari alongside a series of hunky male models for the Italian aperitif's calendar.

Only a few months after giving birth to her daughter Honor Marie Warren, Jessica looks as stunning as ever in both the airbrushed and natural photos for the shoot.



Following in the footsteps of previous Campari calendar girls Eva Mendes and Salma Hayek, the Sin City actress stars in 12 sexy shots for the hanging pictorial.

Jessica wore a series of designer bikinis during the shoot in Malibu as she was photographed by legendary lensman Mario Testino.

On set with her was five-month-old Honor, whose father is Jessica's new husband, assistant director Cash Warren.

Jessica explained: 'All the clothes were very cool. They're young, sexy and fresh.

'I'm usually walking around in comfy clothes with a baby on my arm and it's nice to dress things up and feel sophisticated, sexy and surrounded by so much beauty.

'Also being surrounded by Brazilian models made it even easier.

'It was all very chic, but still young and cool, my favourite combination.'

Jessica is currently taking time out of her film career to raise baby Honor and enjoy married life with Cash, who she married three weeks before the birth.

The couple had been dating for four years after meeting on the set of the Fantastic Four, in which Jessica plays Sue Storm.



Last year, she filmed The Eye and The Love Guru, which both hit screens this year.



Next year, Jessica will return to the big screen in An Invisible Sign Of My Own.
