attracted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drew' is the definition.
(attracting is a kind of drawing)

'primarily as two models posed with underwear at the centre earlier' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'at' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attracted that I've seen before include "Exerted a gravitational pull" , "Drew to, magnetised" , "Pulled" , "Drew to, magnatized" , "Allured, magnetized" .)
