'this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'girlie magazine's ultimate shot captures woman's rear' is the wordplay.
'ultimate' suggests the final letters.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'captures' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'rear' says to take the final letters (the back of the word).
The last letter of 'magazine' is 'e'.
The last letter of 'woman' is 'n'.
'girlie'+'e'='girliee'
'girliee' anagrammed gives 'ligerie'.
'ligerie' placed around 'n' is 'LINGERIE'.

'in' acts as a link.
