She may be one of South America’s finest exports, but Luisana Lopilato has decided that when it comes to the 2012 Olympic Games her loyalties belong firmly with the Brits.
The Argentinian model wife of singer Michael Buble has shown her support for Team GB by appearing in a set of British-themed sports lingerie pictures for UK underwear label Ultimo.
Let the Games begin: Michael Buble’s model wife Luisana Lopilato models Ultimo’s new Union Jack-themed sports lingerie
Eagle eyed readers will notice that there’s something a little unreal about the pictures, and not just the blonde’s incredible figure.
Ultimo have confirmed that the Union Jack flags have been added with a bit of computer wizadry.
But any friend of Team GB’s is a friend of ours, and it would be a crime not to share Luisana’s enthusiasm for our national team.
And the brand promise to put the set in to production if there’s enough demand.
Michelle Mone OBE said: ‘We’re
proud to be a British brand and will be cheering on Team GB all the way
in the London Olympics.
‘Luisana looks phenomenal in the shots; she
loves sport and keeping fit so this look really suits her! I’m sure if
posing in lingerie were an Olympic sport Luisana would win gold.’
Swapping teams: She may be Argentinian, but that won’t stop model Luisana Lopilato showing her Olympic support for Team GB in Ultimo’s new sports lingerie
Flaunting her size eight figure and 34D bust in the shots Lopilato proves why she was chosen as the latest ‘face and
body’ of the brand.
The 24-year-old is the first to admit it takes
hard work and Olympic dedication to maintain her gold-standard frame.
She says: ‘I work out
everyday. I run for at least 30 minutes and play tennis. It’s important
for me to be fit and healthy.’
Lopilato has certainly been pulling her weight at Ultimo since joining the brand.
Barely a week goes by without her appearing in one of their new creations, and she was recently seen modelling the brand’s stunning new diamante line, and a set of Oriental-inspired gel-fitted bras and girly briefs, available in both fuschia pink and black.
The model, who is a successful actress in
her home country of Argentina, signed up as the face of Ultimo for a
two-year stint in October last year.
Since
then, sales have rocketed by 37 per cent – a spike that Ultimo founder
and CEO Michelle Mone attributes in part to the Lopilato effect.

Uliitmo founder Michelle Mone says: ‘Michael Buble¿s wife Luisana is one of our biggest international stars, and the response we have had has been phenomenal’
When Michelle Mone was awarded an OBE
in 2010 for her services to business, she gave thanks to Luisana and
the other Ultimo models, including Tamara Ecclestone and Amy Childs, who both modelled
for the brand in 2011.
And when she promised that 2012 would be even bigger, she was not wrong.
At the time, she said: ‘This year we
have unveiled some amazing images designed to best showcase our
collections and it has been fantastic to be involved with some
incredible women.
‘Michael Buble’s wife Luisana is one of our biggest international stars,
and the response we have had has been phenomenal.
‘It
took me a long time to get her but I refused to give up. Luisana is a
natural beauty and I’m delighted to have her on board for two years.’
The
24-year-old actress has over one million followers on Twitter, and has
massive global appeal – and on a very superficial level, it is not hard
to see why.

This has to be one of the most stupid excuses for a photo of scantily clad blank faced ms lampiloolaa yet – badly photoshopped union jacks on a bikini? Come on!

An Argentinian supermodel supporting TeamGB? She probably thinks we should keep the Falkland islands as well!
Report abuse
She is a lingerie model, she was paid to pose in this stuff. I very much doubt she is supporting Team GB. Pointless drivel from the DM again, whatever happened to journalism?
Report abuse
Luisana looks stunning! I think the Union Jack bra looks great- they should definitely start selling them
Report abuse
So where does she stand on the Falklands/Malvinas issue – I think we should be told?
Report abuse
On closer inspection the top on the model appears to be on a flat plain – a giveaway that the union jacks were added with little skill. The images should be skewed at the sides as the garment wraps around the model.
Tsk indeed.

She’s perfect.
