George Clooney’s girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis has been modeling some new underwear ads.

Elisabetta Canalis has been dating George Clooney for about a year, but this is the first time she’s unveiled her underwear and bra publicly.

The 31-year-old Italian model appears in a steamy campaign for Roberto Cavalli’s spring 2010 underwear collection. In one ad, she stretches across a Louis XVI-style velvet sofa wearing leopard-print lingerie. As far as her relationship with one of Hollywood’s hottest stars, Canalis says she’s enjoying her life on the red carpet. “Yes, I love it!” she said, according to People.

Canalis and Clooney have been arm-in-arm at several events. One event includes the 2009 New York Film Critics Circle Awards on Monday in New York. Clooney, 48, was honored as best actor for his performances in “Up in the Air” and “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” When asked about his romance with Canalis, the actor joked, “She’s homely. … But what do you do?”

Elisabetta Canalis is perfect for the Hollywood hunk because she is beautiful and intelligent, according to fashion designer Roberto Cavalli. “Elisabetta is beautiful and very sensual. She’s an erotic dream for many men. It’s that mix of undeniable beauty and the down-to-earth spontaneity of the girl next door.” Roberto worked with Canalis for his new underwear campaign.

Clooney has been a close friend of Roberto and believes their relationship is the perfect love story. “George and Elisabetta are in love. They’re both gorgeous, fascinating people and their romance is a dream. People need to dream and this couple’s love story reminds you of those legendary romances of the past.”
