Stars in their smalls - an undie-cover investigation

David and Victoria Beckham
Label: Dolce & Gabbana
Style: Thongs, G-Strings - and that's just for David!
VPL: Victoria has already revealed her football hero husband has a penchant for wearing women's underwear when he's not wearing his soccer kit. And it seems whoever's wearing the pants, only one label will do. No sooner had the star couple moved into their new Madrid home, a faxed order arrived at Dolce & Gabbana's shop in Milan for £5,000 worth of knickers, bras and boxers.

Kylie Minogue
Label: Love Kylie
Style: Thongs, Cheekies - featuring a pendant suspended in a hole on the back of the skin-tight undies
VPL: Having one of the most admired rears on the planet meant it was almost inevitable that Kylie would not only show off her underwear but sell it too. Her own saucy range, which she helps design, features all sorts of satin, lace and fishnet designs with names like Diva, Vamp and Fever. Kylie has been selling undies for three years and makes no secret of the fact she wears the designs herself, saying they are 'fashionable and flirtatious'.

George Clooney
Label: None
Style: Y-fronts
VPL: He may be one of the sexiest men on the planet but when it comes to his under garments George doesn't quite measure up to his status. Earlier this year he was spotted in an LA discount store buying up a bumper supply of Y-fronts. 'He was in and out in a flash and kept his head down all the way,' a starstruck worker at the store said. 'It's funny, you'd expect him to wear those designer ones with all the money he makes.' Of course there is a chance George's panty purchase was for another of his notorious pranks - we'll leave it to you to work out the gag!

Calista Flockhart
Label: Victoria's Secret.
Style: Hipsters, V-String
VPL: Lucky old Harrison Ford. While he's been at home counting his wrinkles, his girlfriend is out shopping for sexy underwear to give her man a treat. The Ally McBeal star stunned shoppers and sales staff at posh Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills earlier this year by buying two dozen pairs of sizzling Victoria's Secret knickers. A salesgirl suggested that the diminutive star might want to try a selection of colours. But she says of Calista: 'Without blinking she said, 'I want black - they've got to be black. It's Harrison's favourite colour'.'
