Laila Ali is going for a second helping of milk.

The Dancing With The Stars finalist, who posed for a “Got Milk?” ad with father Muhammad Ali in 2001, goes solo this time, vamping, twirling and slurping for Annie Leibovitz’s camera in a June photo shoot in L.A.

“Take it from me, milk really packs a punch,” says the ad, which debuts Oct. 22.

As for why she decided to do the campaign, she tells PEOPLE: “I’m always striving to be as healthy as I possibly can – and you always think of milk doing a body good.”

In fact, Ali, 29, says she’s working on a Nickelodeon TV show, scheduled to air next year, about helping obese children who have trouble losing weight.

Things are coming up roses for this newlywed. DWTS really added a new dimension to Laila’s already impressive repertoire. To steal a phrase from Paris Hilton – That’s Hot!
