Never thought I'd call Natalia Vodianova a swashbuckler, but in the Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2010 ad campaign, her billowing white blouse looks so much like a pirate's shirt, I simply couldn't resist.
Proving she'll do formidable job taking over where Christy Turlington left off as YSL's face in Fall 2009, Vodianova dazzles with her tanned gazelle-esque legs taking center stage in each shot. Take a look at the first two images from the Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2010 ad campaign above as well as shots from last fall's campaign.
