The 36-year-old actress was announced as the 17th face of alcoholic liqueur's iconic new calendar earlier this year and she has certainly done it justice as she struck a number of sizzling and sexy poses for the BitterSweet campaign.

She said: "For me, this project meant much more than producing a good calendar, it was a creative process telling a great story. It was a fabulous campaign challenging myself to bring out two different sides to ensure that the pictures told the story in a creative and beautiful way - and that is exactly what we've achieved. As a person I lean towards the sweeter side, however my taste buds definitely love bitter!"

The blonde beauty squeezed her pert derrière and ample cleavage into red hot designs by Versace and towering heels by Christian Louboutin as she played both candidates across the 13 powerful shots.

She added:"The calendar is a testament to how well Campari knows itself, seeing itself in a contemporary setting proving that no matter how classic the brand is, there will always be a firm place for Campari within today's contemporary world."

The calendar, which was shot by acclaimed international fashion photographer Michelangelo di Battista, will not go on sale but will be internationally distributed to friends of Campari around the world.

Meanwhile, Kate follows in the footsteps of Eva Green, Jessica Alba and Penelope Cruz, who have previously fronted the annual iconic calendar.
