AceShowbiz - Alicia Keys gets steamy for good cause. The singer shows her nipples as she slips into a pink lace see-through lingerie from Stella McCartney. She wears an unbuttoned sweater and high-waisted jeans in one photo and dons a white shirt, also unbuttoned, and white pants in another picture. She teams up with the designer for a campaign of Breast Cancer Awareness to remind women to "keep healthy and get regular breast checks."
Proceeds from the Ophelia Whistling lingerie set will be donated to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Breast Examination Center in Harlem which offers free quality care to its local community. It's "super important" to the singer because she was born and raised in Harlem. "So this really resonates with me," she explained.
"I've never really shared this but My mother is a breast cancer survivor," Keys additionally wrote to her 11-million online followers on Instagram. "Breast cancer affects us all, and that's why I'm joining my sis @stellamccartney in starting a conversation and encouraging every woman to go get checked."
Stella McCartney is the daughter of The Beatles' member Paul McCartney and animal rights activist Linda McCartney. The designer's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995 and died in 1998 at the age of 56.
"Sadly, I lost my mother to breast cancer 19 years ago. She didn't meet my children. My chilren didn't meet her. And we really are here today to talk to you to raise awareness," McCartney opened up in a video message as she and Keys discussed the importance of standing up to breast cancer. "That's right, and to start a conversation and to break the taboos," the singer chimed in.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the lingerie set will also benefit the Linda McCartney Center in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
