Charli XCX exposes hilarious reality of her racy underwear shoot

Charli XCX’s BRAT summer continues with a shoot for Kim K’s SKIMs underwear line – but as this video reveals, modelling ain’t easy.

Charli XCX’s BRAT summer continues, with the British pop star this week unveiling a new side hustle: Underwear model.

XCX is the new face of Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS underwear line.

“SKIMS empowers people to feel confident in their own skin, which is the essence of brat,” Charli XCX said in a statement. Indeed.

Charli strikes a pose.
Charli strikes a pose.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Not so BRAT? Having to pose in your undies as rain pours down on you and a woman on set repeatedly bellows “GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS!” at your every pose.

“lol” Charlie captioned this very funny behind the scenes video from her SKIMS shoot:

This new gig is very on-brand for Charli, given her latest single – the Billie Eilish duet Guess – sees the pair goading each other into guessing the colour of their underwear.

The accompanying music video even sees the duo writhing on a giant pile of discarded undies.

Guess debuted at a career-best number one in Charli’s native UK and here in Australia, a new high for an album campaign that’s been a wildly successful new peak for a pop star who’s been in the game more than a decade now.

One measure of exactly how hot Charli XCX is right now: The wide array of celebs she drew to her recent 32nd birthday party.

The singer marked the occasion at Silverlake, Los Angeles cocktail bar Tenants of the Trees earlier this month, with everyone from Hollywood hunk Glen Powell to pop legend Nelly Furtado to recent collaborators Eilish and Lorde in attendance.
