Model turned actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a sight for sore eyes and a dazzler in countless magazines and advertising campaigns.  The 24-year-old bombshell is the latest cover model for Harper’s Bazaar UK, in which she dishes about her style evolution and getting the body she now possesses today.

‘I was always the girl who would turn up to fashion shows in trainers, flares, a shearling jacket and braids in my hair.  I look back and I was really cute, but all the other girls were slick, groomed and elegant, while I’d be backstage drinking a can of beer.  It’s a great British thing, but that kind of thing doesn’t go down well in America,’ she tells the magazine.

The January 2012 Body issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK issue hits newsstands Monday, December 5th.
