Modeling a palette of colors inspired by the richness of the Mediterranean, the glamour of Hollywood and the femininity of a woman, Monica Bellucci smolders as the make-up line’s new spokesmodel…

Known for her sensuality and voluptuous curves, Monica, 47, who’s famous for her roles in “The Matrix,”  “Shoot ‘Em Up,” and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” also posed for her fellow countrymen in the fashion house’s Spring 2012 campaign for Dolce & Gabbana’s ready-to-wear collection.

“We love Monica and have worked with her many times over the past 20 years. Her beauty is timeless,”

Domenico Dolce in a press release to the UK Daily Mail.

“With her famed fulsome lips, impeccable complexion and daring, expressive eyes she exudes the irony, mystery and charm that comprises the very essence of the Dolce & Gabbana woman.”

Steffano Gabbana added.

Bellucci, who is widely regarded as a sex symbol in Italy, is married to French actor, Vincent Cassel (“Oceans’s Twelve,” “Ocean’s Thirteen,” “The Black Swan”), with whom she has three daughters.

Bellucci first posed with her bump six years ago and loved it so much she decided to do it again.

Monica told the rag that she decided to reveal all again to show that being a middle-aged mom is not a problem.

“When I had my first child (Deva) at 39 I was told that if I wanted another I should try straight away but I wasn’t ready,”

“Eventually I decided that I was and I wanted one straight away but babies are not like movies and cannot be organised in a hurry.

‘”Women who have children late like me are always told how brave they are and it’s true that the older you are the more risks you run both for the child and yourself.

“But I don’t feel brave I just feel very lucky. I already have a healthy daughter who I gave birth to in Umbria (Italian region) like an ordinary farm wife.

“This second pregnancy is just as fantastic but I wouldn’t say I was an example to follow.”

Monica said that she had not used medical treatment to fall pregnant.”

“It’s a fact a lot of women wait until they are in their late 30s to have children. They have financial security, a home, a partner and then they think of children.

“You have to remember that women are now living on average until 85 years so there is plenty of time. To put it into perspective if you or I had been born at the beginning of the 19th century we would probably have been dead at 40.

“We may have been alive but we would have been in a terrible state and probably with no teeth. Things are different today and women in their 60s look fantastic.

“So now you can have a child in your 40s and look forward to watching them grow up.”

Do you agree with Monica? At 45 give her this much, she looks amazing.

As for her views on men – she doesn’t just want them hot:

“It doesn’t mean anything, beauty. I mean, if I see a beautiful man, maybe I am surprised for three seconds, but then if I speak with him and he’s completely stupid, I don’t see his beauty anymore.”
- Monica Bellucci

I totally agree, in my younger days, I was always attracted to really gorgeous guys but what’s a good looking dude without any substance? I guess women don’t see men like men see us, right? Most men just want good looking chicks. Okay perhaps not totally but they usually name Looks to be their number one priority. Beauty before brains.

Here are the nine hottest pregnant women ever.. of course, that’s only movie stars and singers and that’s according to Maxim: Did you guess them right??

Halle Berry
Baby daddy: Male model Gabriel Aubry
Descriptions like “over 40″ and “with child” aren´t usually things we associate with looking hot, but Halle pulls off both better than anyone we´ve seen. Plus, we admire the guts it must have taken to walk into the maternity store and say, “Give me a big stack of the lowest-cut dresses you have.”

Christina Aguilera
Baby daddy: Husband Jordan Bratman
She probably won´t be getting dirty in any boxing rings for a while, but Xtina hasn´t resorted to a housecoat and slippers, either. Plus, there´s a good chance her doctor has told her to take out her piercings because of the bun in her oven, which is a plus for guys that aren´t into body mods.

Heidi Klum
Most recent baby daddy: Pop singer Seal
Heidi has already pumped out three offspring, but each time her torso has rapidly reverted to its original toned and insanely hot state. Even when she was ultra-pregnant and hosting Project Runway—we TiVo it for the girlfriend—she was making maternity clothes look like Victoria´s Secret outfits…with crotch pads.

Brooke Burke
Most recent baby daddy: French actor David Charvet
It has been well documented how much we love Brooke, even when she gets all wonky in the midsection. She is someone for whom we would be more than happy to make the long trip to the supermarket at 4 A.M. on a Thursday to get Cheetos and cookie dough.

Gwen Stefani
Baby daddy: Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale
Cute has always been Gwen´s thing, so pregnancy really works for her. It just gives her more real estate to fill up with wacky henna tattoos and bracelets. Plus, it put a little color into her otherwise—and we mean this in the sexiest way possible—corpse-like complexion.

Angelina Jolie
Baby daddy: Brad Pitt
You could put Angelina through a wood chipper and the bits that come out the other side would probably still be sexy as hell. Angelina carried her kid like a champ, even if it was a little more taxing on her body than all that adopting she had done in the past.

Jaime Pressly
Baby daddy: DJ Eric Calvo
Jaime has the pregnant white trash act down to a science, and there´s something really hot about that. She and her arsenal of surprisingly revealing maternity clothes were the main reasons we tuned in to My Name Is Earl before the writers´ strike put it on hold. Plus, she carries her big belly and huge boobs a lot better than Elvis Presley ever did.

Monica Bellucci
Baby daddy: Actor Vincent Cassel
It probably has something to do with her Italian heritage, but Monica has never been shy about showing off her figure, and pregnancy did nothing to change that. Her nude pregnant magazine shoot made Demi Moore´s look about as hot as a Cat Fancy cover by comparison.

Naomi Watts
Baby daddy: Actor Liev Schreiber
Naomi has always been hot, but a little on the scrawny side for our tastes. Once she got pregnant, she carried that baby weight in all the right places (boobs).
