Britney Spears is launching a lingerie line.

The pop star, 32, who has famously sung in very little in the past, announced on her Twitter feed that she'd be unveiling her own brand.

Showing off a snap of herself in the underwear, she tweeted: "Coming very soon... The Intimate Collection, by yours truly... Just a peek at what's to come. xo"

E! News quoted Britney as saying: "Every woman should feel confident and beautiful in everything she puts on."

"My vision... is to create pieces that are sexy, luxurious, and comfortable at the same time," she added in the statement.

The Intimate Britney Spears will launch in the US, Europe and Canada in September.

The singer, on a short break from her Las Vegas residency show Britney: Piece Of Me, is thought to be launching the collection herself at an event in New York.
