>> Of all the models who have been pregnant in the last year or so, it's Claudia Schiffer, who is expecting her third child, a girl, and reportedly due this month, who took the plunge and shot a nude cover.  The image, which appears on Vogue Germany's June 2010 cover, was captured by Karl Lagerfeld and mimics Demi Moore's iconic 1991 Vanity Fair cover.

"My first Vogue cover twenty years ago was a very special moment and I'd never have thought that doing this edition with Vogue would give me such a similar buzz," Schiffer said. "It was important to us to show how beautiful it is to be a woman and that you can have a positive attitude towards your body, including when you're expecting."

The entire issue is reportedly filled with all-Claudia editorials, shot by Ellen von Unwerth, who discovered Schiffer, Camilla Akrans, Francesco Carrozzini, and Jan Welters.
