Hello boys, I've got legs too: Eva Herzigova turns the attention on her fabulous pins

Updated 11:28am on 22 May 2008


After years of focus on her famous cleavage, Eva Herzigova is turning the attention onto her lovely legs.

The Czech supermodel let her shapely limbs do the talking as she strolled onto the red carpet at Cannes in a transparent lace gown.

Despite having largely retired from the modelling industry, Herzigova has obviously still got the figure - and legs - for the catwalk at the relatively ancient (in terms of modelling) age of 35.

While Herzigova is undeniably less curvier than her Wondrabra heydays, when she graced billboards with the iconic phrase 'Hello boys', she in looking remarkably healthier than her skinny pre-baby appearance a few years ago.

After giving birth to her first child George 11 months ago, the model showed she was back in shape at the premiere of Che at the Cannes Film Festival this afternoon.

She looked remarkably fresh-faced after a late night of partying on Tuesday, when she was photographed looking decidedly slight of frame in a strapless blue confection.

Here comes trouble: Naomi Campbell on the red carpet of Che at the Cannes Film Festival last night

During her pregnancy, the 35-year-old gained more than 25lbs and proudly declared at the time, "I love being fat".

But it appears her affection for carrying extra weight was short lived.

Eva became a household name after winning the Wonderbra contract in 1994, thanks to a 30ft billboard displaying her assets with the caption "Hello Boys".

In 2003, looking startlingly gaunt, she publicly denied mounting speculation she was taking drugs or suffering from anorexia.

She said she was simply neglecting to take care of herself.

Eva explained at the time: "I've never done drugs, because I see the effects they have on people. I don't like the people they become.

"Even the day afterwards when you see them, there is nothing attractive about it. It's upsetting to blame drugs on the fashion industry, because they are everywhere.

"Drugs have never been a temptation. Because I had such strong roots in my family life, I was fine."

The Czech-born model, who wed Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres only to divorce two years later, now lives with her multi-millionaire Italian boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj, 30.

She met the entrepreneur Marsiaj in 2001 after her plane back to New York was grounded in Italy.

With an estimated £10million fortune in the bank, she has now retired from the catwalk but continues to do magazine editorial shoots for top end designers including Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs.

Other stars on the red carpet of the Ernesto 'Che' Guevara film tonight included the film's stars Benicio Del Toro, who plays the Argentine revolutionary, and director Steven Soderbergh, best known for the Ocean's trilogy and Sex, Lies And Videotape.

Che focuses on Guevara's travels to Cuba in the 1950s and his meeting with future Cuban leader Fidel Castro and their subsequent overthrowing of the capitalist Batista regime.

Making her daily appearance on the red carpet, juror Natalie Portman followed on from her frilly blue number on Monday with a red frilly mini-dress.

Making one of her first public appearances since her arrest at Heathrow Airport last month, Naomi Campbell towered over her date, convicted con artist Christophe Rocancourt.
