Local celebrities including Miranda Otto, Ruby Rose, Sonia Kruger, Pia Miranda and Sophie Lowe have donned red frocks by Australian designers such as Dion Lee, Collette Dinnigan and Willow in the July issue of Marie Claire magazine for an 11-page spread to raise awareness for heart disease.

Shot by fashion photographers Harold David and David Gubert, Megan Gale covers the July issue (her first Marie Claire cover) in a one-shouldered Alex Perry number, while Jennifer Hawkins looked red-hot in a strapless fire-engine red Ellery dress with a revealing thigh-high split.

Love their looks? To support this worthy cause, you can bid for the red designer duds for auction from June 1, with all proceeds going to the Heart Foundation, or add a splash of colour to your Winter wardrobe by wearing red on June 9.

We’re enjoying this fresh trend amongst the women’s magazines of releasing celeb’s photos without airbrushing them first to appear like impossibly flawless fembots.

Sarah Murdoch said nay to Photoshop for the cover of Women’s Weekly recently, and today the beautiful Jennifer Hawkins has done the same… and she’s gone unclothed as well!

The Australian model strips on the cover of this month’s Marie Claire — with every lump, bump and spot (not that she has many) unhampered by digital touching on.

“I’m not a stick figure — I thought it would be great to tell women to just be themselves and be confident,” the 26-year-old assures the mag.

Well Jen, we believe you look perfectly hot. And if this photograph is anything to go by there may be quite a few Photoshop artists joining the unemployment waiting line in 2010.
