Donning tiny red bikinis and gold bangles, they pose on their fronts with one particular asset aimed toward the camera.
These are the 27 women who will soon be battling it out for the coveted title of Miss Bum Bum Brazil 2014.
The competition, offering a $22,000 (£13,000) prize and the chance of worldwide fame, seeks to find Brazil’s finest example of the female bottom.
In its first stage, representatives from each of the country’s states are brought together to witness a public online vote, during which 15 finalists will be selected.
The second stage will see a winner chosen by a jury in a ceremony in November.
Now in its fourth year, Miss Bum Bum Brazil has gone from humble beginnings to international fame, with spin-offs in Miami, Japan and for the World Cup.
This year, the contestants include a Megan Fox lookalike, Claudia Alende; twins Graziella and Rafaella Fornazieri; a plus-size model, Juliana Bittencortt; and the oldest ever candidate, Patricia Oliveira, aged 39.
