Putting her sexy backside to work for her, Karolina Kurkova did her best Marilyn Monroe impression during a photo shoot in St. Tropez yesterday (July 11).

The beautiful Czech cutie was all about showing off her derriere in a "Seven Year Itch"-style moment, with her dress being blown up.

In addition to her taupe frock, Karolina donned a pair of super-high heels along with red lipstick, and a pulled-back hairstyle for a confident, powerful look.

Ms. Kurkova's new photo shoot is said to be her first step towards scoring presenting gigs after she was passed up for a job on "Project Runway All Stars."
