She caused a stir when she posed on a hay bale in nothing but her underwear 17 years ago.
And it seems model Sophie Anderton, 36, is determined that her recreation of that famous Gossard campaign gets just as much attention.
To this end, she stripped down to her underwear and strutted about in front of her giant billboard today outside the Westfield Shopping Centre in London.

The model, now 36, looks as good in the flesh as she does in the campaign pictures.
The spectacular set of images marks a return for Sophie as the original Gossard Girl.
The model says she is more comfortable with her body since her first Gossard shoot 17 years ago.
'I am now a woman and not a young girl,' she tells MailOnline.
'So I feel I embrace my body more and I am definitely more confident than I was at 19.
'I couldn't believe when Gossard booked me the first time, it was very surreal. But this time it was like returning home.'
Sophie says she is far more comfortable with her body today than she was when she shot the first campaign, aged 19

Getting back in the barn was easier for Sophie this time around, too.
'Last time it was shot in the Beverley Hills so I was covered in spiders and bugs so that was tricky, especially in front of a crew of 200 people.
'But this time I knew the photographer and the team and we did trick things a little by getting some hay into a studio in West London.'
Speaking about the new shoot, Sophie says: 'We had so much fun. It was like old friends catching up, just with a bale of hay and in your underwear, totally normal!
'I knew when I first wore Glossies they’d be a classic, and who’d have thought I’d still be getting so much pleasure from something so soft!'

DJ Sophie hits the decks
- She played at Tiger Tiger in Cardiff on New Year's Eve 2012
- Has played in Dubai numerous times
- Last DJ date in diary recorded April 2013
In the new images recreating that iconic moment, the reality TV star looks in better shape than ever.
She reveals it's all down to hard work as she practices Bikram Yoga five times a week and sticks to a diet of fresh, home-cooked organic food.
At the age of 36, she puts her youthful glow down to using a lot of olive oil in cooking and getting regular facials with skin therapist Natalya Robinson.
'I also regular body treatments at Bijoux Medi Spa,' she says.
'My favourite beauty products are Chantecaille vital essence serum.
'I use the jasmine face mask from the same brand, Sarah Chapman products and also C2M gold serum and C2M Crème Delite.'

Speaking about the future, Sophie says: 'I have been modelling for the last few years abroad and have slowly wanted to re-emerge as the woman I am today in the UK.
'We have lots of amazing work lined up and I have never been happier than I am now in my career. I have an amazing team around me which I never had in the past.
'I am also DJing around the whole world and I am concentrating on some business ventures which are soon to be announced.'
'I am looking forward to working with Gossard more and am happy my life has come full circle. I have never been busier or happier than I am now.'
Sophie reveals she is in a relationship with her partner for 7 months.
'I am really happy but I have learnt to keep things more private,' she says.
A spokesperson for Gossard added: 'It’s been a pleasure to work with Sophie again, she’s a total professional.
'We’ve both passed a few landmarks since we were last together, including our 100th birthday, but as these pictures prove, some things simply improve with age!'

Other images from the new campaign include Sophie posing in sexy turquoise underwear - one of two new colours Gossard have introduced as part of their Glossies collection.
The company added: 'Glossies have gone from strength to strength and this season sees the introduction of two new colours so it seemed only fitting to ask Sophie back to unveil them to the world.'
Sophie has enjoyed something of a career revival of late, following her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
Since leaving the house, Sophie has revealed her true feelings about her former housemates Louie Spence and Carol McGiffin, calling them 'vicious two-faced bullying hypocrites'.
