[caption id="attachment_631" align="aligncenter" width="634"] Whitney Port in Giuseppe Zanotti shoes[/caption]

She's an LA style icon who made a name for herself on reality TV show The Hills and now Whitney Port has been announced as the face and incredibly toned body of the new Venus and Olay razor, and looks every inch the supermodel as she poses for her latest job in some seriously sexy Giuseppe Zanotti stilettos.

The fashion designer and TV personality was chosen by the brand because she is the 'personification of a modern Goddess'. Whilst I'm not too sure if I agree with this statement she is rocking the shoes!
