American actress Jessica Alba channels her inner Nancy Callahan for the wet t-shirt editorial. Although she ditches the blonde for her natural brunette locks, the svelte stunner can be seen in Callahan's stripper getup, along with a darker look, in the upcoming “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” movie. Yet over the last couple of year, Alba has proven she is more than a hot body and pretty face with Honest Company.

The wet t-shirt editorial is set to appear in the September 2014 issue of Maxim. In the accompanying article, she says, “If you put your whole identity behind [the entertainment industry], it’s brutal. It chews you up and spits you out; it spits out a lot of people.”
