She’s become a global star thanks to her hilarious parodies of everyone from Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, to Rihanna and Gwyneth Paltrow.

And now Celeste Barber is doing some modelling of her own, announcing her new collaboration with lingerie retailer Bras N Things.

In a shoot for the “relatable and wearable” collection, the 39-year-old flaunted her figure, showing off the range of pieces that include lingerie, bodysuits and robes.

“I chose the colours and made sure every piece was designed to make me look hot – and it worked. The only problem with that is now I can’t choose a favourite piece,” the comedian said of the collection.

“I absolutely loved working so closely with the Bras N Things team on this collaboration. On day one I came in totally pumped with ideas and a big bag of my favourite undies and bras – some of which I had bought from Bras N Things because I loved this brand.

“I wanted to make sure each design was something that I would wear every day. We all want comfy, sexy and fun knickers and bras, and that’s what we created together.”

Bras N Things head of product, Jessica Lauppe-Guy, said that working with Barber on the range was “so much fun” and the social media star was “an incredible addition to the team”.

“We wanted to make sure Celeste was an integral part of the design process and that her ideas were incorporated into the collection and that her voice was heard in each and every product design,” she added.

“This is exactly what we have achieved together and it’s resulted in a really special collaboration.”

The retailer’s head of marketing, Natalie Chalmers, echoed the sentiment, describing Barber as “the ultimate confidence warrior who doesn’t take herself too seriously and, like all of us, has many sides to her”.

“Bras N Things has been undergoing a brand evolution for the past two years and a central part of that is how we support women to confidently be themselves as we build our global community of confidence warriors,” she said.

“Celeste celebrates being a woman and shows us that we can embrace the things we’ve been taught to hide, inside and out.

“Bras N Things are looking at what consumers are craving and how we can meet those needs, whether that be through driving our size expansion or offering product that allows our customers to be relaxed, raw, brave, strong.”

Ms Chalmers added that “women everywhere will see themselves in this campaign because it speaks to us all and the many things that we all are”.

Speaking to Stellar earlier this year, Barber said when she first started out lampooning celerities, she never intended to become famous for it – instead wanting leverage for more jobs in film and television.

“I hate being called an influencer. Because I’m not. I’m an actor, a comedian and a writer, and I happen to be a bit famous now for doing stuff that resonates with people who don’t always feel great about themselves,” she said.

“That’s how I look at it. I mean, I don’t call them followers. I call them my audience.

“Every time I do a post, I look at it like doing a show: they are my audience and I believe they trust me. I’ve turned down so much work in the media world and so much f**king money because I don’t want to be in that world of just money and fame. I can’t operate like that.

“So I really take my time in working out what I do because I don’t want to be known as an influencer. I want to be known for making people laugh and giving a sh*t about what I put out in an already very noisy world.”
