Every week, following WWE.com and TNAWrestling.com’s photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva and Knockout shoots and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on them in a feature we lovingly call Unwrapped. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Eve Torres, Maryse, and Melina:
Eve Torres
Eve looks quite pretty in this empire-waisted dress. It flatters her really well, showing off her toned arms and legs. Her big hair gives the whole look a kind of vintage feel, though it’s still undoubtedly modern. I love the simple color scheme, and how the accents at the waist are echoed in the bracelet. It’s all a very put together look. Her poses, though, are a little less interesting. She’s mostly cool and friendly, but there’s not much spark in the photos. I kind of understand, with the toned-down colors, why she’s not giving peppy wide-mouth smiles, but I still feel like the mood of the shoot is too toned down. The plain black background probably doesn’t help either. It’s just, when I look at these photos, I don’t see much that’s memorable, aside from the dress, and I always prefer it when the shoot is carried by the Diva, not the clothes.

Maryse
This is definitely a classic Maryse style photoshoot: she’s wearing something with a high fashion feel to it with some big, wavy hair and plenty of flashy jewelry. The dress looks gorgeous on her, with its fit and design complimenting her curves in a lot of ways. The lines of the dress pull the eye to her waist instead of her chest, and I think that’s a much more stylish way to look sexy. Her poses are, as always, evidence to her haughtiness: she frequently looks off-camera and tosses up her signature “talk to the hand” gesture. Maryse has really perfected the holier-than-thou poses, making them look anything but forced. The whole package, from the dress to the accessories to the poses is, like I said, classic Maryse. She looks beautiful and is posing like she knows it.

Melina
Melina, as usual, is thinking outside the box, and in this shoot has decided to pose alongside a semi truck. With its interesting colors and textures, it really adds something to the shoot, and Melina doesn’t let it go to waste, working several angles from posing in front of the grill to leaning against its side to hanging off the passenger side door. She creates a lot of interesting photos, showing plenty of attitude. It’s a different kind of attitude, though: she’s not sneering, but even her smiles show a bit of her heelish confidence. Her outfit compliments her slightly grungy surroundings, wearing black pants with lacy cutouts, high-heeled black boots and a corset-like tank top with a decidedly grungy font adorning it. It’s definitely an outfit that works better in these surroundings than it would in a regular studio shoot, because it’s got a lot going on and the big shiny semi kind of helps take some of the focus. Speaking of shine, her hair and makeup are gorgeous in their own right.
