As we saw yesterday, Elisabetta Canalis is partying and “working” in the South of France. She showed up on a yacht in Cannes and she was happy to be pap’d in various stages of sunbathing. Now we know a little bit more about her trip – the yacht she’s on is Robert Cavalli, the designer who adores George Clooney enough to give Clooney’s girlfriend a gig as a “model”. And today Eli did some “modeling” aboard the yacht in this interesting red thing. She’s actually posing for photos, but I’m struggling to know what to call this. Is this a “photo shoot”? Is it for an ad campaign? Or does Eli just get paid to show up in a yacht, put on what appears to some kind of “harem ensemble” and just pose for whoever wants to take her picture?
Before you judge me for my confusion, I should note that Elisabetta also seemed to “pose” for photos before she put on the presumably Cavalli harem outfit. She was “pap’d” (if you want to call it that) in various stages as she prepared for her “modeling gig”…? It’s all so bizarre. I feel like the Cannes Film Festival is where the traditional rules of “jobs” and “gigs” and “modeling” don’t apply. So I have no idea what’s going on. All I know is that it pays to be George Clooney’s girlfriend, right?
You can additional photos of Eli in various stages of undress here. She does have a stunning body. But the whole deal – the body, the face, the attitude, the Adam’s apple – just seems very drag queen to me. I know, I know. She’s what I would call a “handsome” woman from some angles, but most of the time she just looks like a pretty drag queen.

she could be Cavalli’s brother. 🙁
Screams tranny!
Sexy
Not an attractive woman. What’s Clooney attracted to: mannish women with tattoos?
I swear she was born with a dick.
And that outfit is horrid, which is probably why he allowed her to model it.
Just shop her tats out… they are “well” budget.
#1: hilarious comment!
@Kaiser: “harem ensemble” (I did not know what to call it, but you did a very good description of it, lol). She looked so miserable when she was Pap’d last week while grocery shopping in LA. I guess she is happy to be on the “spotlight” again… And yes..she is always posing…so fake!
The tats make the whole thing look trashy.
That adam’s apple is freaky. It makes her look like a man on female hormones.
I really have never seen the “tranny” bit until now. And it looks VERY obvious to me now. She/he is pretty to me though but borderline too manly, especially when you really believe she is/was a man.
it’s so weird how she can look so pretty and then so horsey the next shot.. sometimes she looks beautiful and she does have a rockin’ body and her hair is really pretty. A beautiful tranny pretty much describes her.. strange…
Whenever I see her all I can think about is Gene Simmons in “Never Too Young To Die”.

Velvet Von Ragnar was one saucy bitch!
Where is her “George” tat?
YIKES YIKES YIKES!
(1) That red outfit is HORRID and
(2) I have always thought she looked more tranny than feminine and that one picture you have up above REALLY looks tranny to me!
full on man in drag.
Actually she has been working for Cavalli years before she met George. Because she is Cavalli’s type of woman, she really represents his style (expensive outfits for show-girls or women that would like to look like show- girls).
I mean he is not Armani, but he sells alot, since, believe me or not, there are plenty of cheap classless women with big bucks to spend.
I don’t like her, too, but I prefer a fact based judgement.
Those are some cheap tacky tattoos. I swear in the pics yesterday she had a small gap in her top teeth and today its gone. She does have a nice body, she goes from looking pretty to questionable it’s weird.
P.S. Cavalli does dress tacky women, that’s why he hired Bar Refaeli for Cannes, as well.
Her body is hot.
everything about her screams “budget” to me.
That body is insane, but good lord she would give some of the trannies here in the city a run for their money. I’m with ViktoryGin on this, I swear she was born with a dick.
Everything about this woman screams budget. I think it’s all due to those tacky tattoos.
she looks like a man in drag- yeah she looks good if u like twinks who dress up as girls
She looks like a man, that red dress is tacky-looking, and those tattoos look so low class that they degrade the luxuries in the pics.
Do designers really believe d listers like this one will sell their brands for what they have to pay them; models should be booked for these gigs instead of this d lister;if canalis wants to stay in the limelight learn to act and leave fashion to models – I’ll bet most people when shown her pics wouldn’t be able to identify her. I know it’s easy money for actresses/celebs, but actresses should act and models should model.
@jover: “I know it’s easy money for actresses/celebs, but actresses should act and models should model. ” This leaves her out of job… I mean, she could do a reality show. As someone suggested in another blog, the title could be: “the girlfriend of”… hahaha
That outfit is horrid.
I have long thought she looked like she is a drag version of Cindy Crawford. But I’m always on the lookout for the Adam’s apple but never saw it. That being said, where is it? Show me the Adam’s apple!
Otherwise, just like Jennifer Aniston, other than her ‘handsome’ bone structure I see no evidence to suggest she’s anything other than a woman who looks like a man who looks like woman with with an attractive face and nice body.
co-sign with the tranny comments! there is not an ounce of femininity in her…
I see a good looking woman but for some reason I’m not moved by her. The outfit doesn’t help. Like her, I want to like it, but it’s just…meh.
I’m with Tori on this! Cavalli is definitely classless and the outfit reflects his “style”.
I thought model’s were supposed to know how to control their facial muscles and strike attractive poses. At least that is what I got from ANTM. This screams *fail*.
Tranny and cheap; who dresses Cavalli anyway?
I love that jumpsuit! she looks ah-mazingly hot! Who else could pull that look off?
Revolting. I never get all the “hot body” comments either. She’s a tiny woman, probably a size zero, with short, bowed legs and a long trunk with little evidence of a “waist – hip” shape, and protruding ribs. She does have tits, but they started downhill probably years ago. Her face is also aging fast, she has the kind of nasolabial folds that Mick Jagger & Steven Tyler have. She’s gotten a lot of mileage out the Clooney assoc., but a beauty? Please, I see more beautiful women every day. Worst of all though is her attitude. She is one seriously stuck up bitch. Rude to the point of agressiveness. I have seen her embarrass GC several times now. The Vegas girl was like a princess next to this one.
I can tell some of her “people” are here to moderate the “madness,” and to make sure we all know how hot she is. I have a feeling in person she is okay looking- minus the bitchy grin. Still with her strong features sometimes she photographs well when the clothes fit and work with her body!!! This dress doesn’t work with her – she is too short and it really doesn’t fit well. It accentuates the tranny and sorry to say Steven Tyler look.
I think it’s funny that she sort of kind of resembles a budget version of Cindy Crawford – who George is so obviously in love with.
I live near GC and have known him since before his ER days, since before his marriage even. He used to frequent a place where I worked full time before I had kids. I think I have met most of his gfs. This one most definitely does not look better in person. Her skin is terrible, leathery and full of lines, and sun damage. (I looked like a girl when I was her age) Anyway, she is def better looking in these photoshopped pix. Her excessive tanning and fast lifestyle have made her look rough beyond her years. Oh yeah, the scowling expression she has on every time I’ve seen her doesn’t help either. At least the Vegas girl was always smiling. Even when I came on her in a ladies room once and she was crying, she looked up and smiled at me.
Does anyone else think she kind of looks like Jillian Michaels?
Glad I’m not alone in thinking she kind of looks like a guy. I don’t mean in the “there are all types of women and expressions of femininity” kind of way. I mean she was born w/both sets of gear or something. I’m not slamming a lifestyle or expression or physical state. Just saying that she looks like a young man in his early twenties and a woman in her thirties are occupying the same body. Not sure how that works, but that’s what she looks like to me.
Ok LunaT said it all. ROTFL.
Yeah, both sets of gear … or something.
Dude does NOT look like a lady.
TRANNY, and boring tranny at that!
@jane16: thanks for your statement.I started to think I was judgemental and a bad person at heart. GC’s girlfriends never bothered me before, but this one is extremely arrogant (I-am-better-than-anyone-therefore-I-demand-to-be-the-center-of-attention-!) and I have not idea why, especially if you think about her past life style choices… She walked on the red carpet last year as if it was about her and seemed very bored when GC was giving interviews.
He might really love her because there is no other rational explanation to answer why she has lasted this long. Talking about that, Ted Casablancas wrote an article yesterday confirming GC said they are together and doing fine, but friends (?) say otherwise…I would doubt that too since he seems soooo miserable next to her and so happy when she is not around…
Jayne , it’s dangerous to speculate on others lives . We don’t know what’s going on . All you see is that George has lost his sparkle . I noticed that he lost his sparkle long before her . The last time I saw him smile was on his bike with Sarah Larson . I see him around town too . We want to blame someone for taking away this beautiful presence . He’s verry private and there may be something going on that’s none of our business . I wish I could see him happy again . He’s truley beautiful .
Ever since George and Elisabetta attended the Oscars together everyone had speculated that George would kick Ellys butt to the curb for several reasons. One her attitude on the Red Carpet and her refusal to stand up for Katherine Bigalows acceptance speech for both of her Oscar wins. which was a first in Oscar history.
Two her alleged coke/prostitution scandal instead of kicking her butt to the curb, he has stood by her.
Three her endless T.V. and print interviews where she does nothing but gush about her and Georges relationship but instead of kicking her butt to the curb he lets her gush on.
Four her infamous Ziggy pop/Aniston comparison (would of liked to have been a fly on the wall that night to hear what he said) but instead of kicking her butt to the curb he made her take her twitter account down.
And last but not least the napkin ring speculation are they or are they not engaged? but instead of kicking her butt to the curb George probably though it was funny because they both have the same sarcastic/dry sense of humor.
Bottom line here folks is that he won’t kick her butt to the curb until he’s good and ready too.
She is now with George for maybe two reasons one she is done with her modeling gig.
Two the brake up rumors has started.
my god look at her neck O__O
she looks like a man for real
