Stretched out along the floor and casting a feline glance to the camera, Kate Moss makes her Playboy debut – bunny tail and all.
Although most women would hardly chose to celebrate their 40th birthday by stripping off, Kate, it hardly needs pointing out, has never been one for a sedate life.
And MailOnline has the first exclusive glimpse of the Brit supermodel’s dare-to-bare shoot.
With her delicate tattoos on show, Kate – who will turn the big 4-0 on January 16 – dons a pair of black satin bunny ears, the iconic Playboy bunny corset, French cuffs and collar all teamed with a pair of vertiginous black stilettos.
On display are the tiny crescent moon tattoo on Kate’s left ankle and the P on her hip – allegedly inked for ex-lover, druggy rocker Pete Doherty. Both have withstood the rigours of the air brusher.
The mother-of-one made it clear that she wants to celebrate her wild past by posing for the cover to celebrate Playboy’s 60th anniversary for its January/February edition – alongside a nude pictorial inside.
However, readers will get their first glimpse of Kate’s erotic shoot in the ‘Next Month’ section of Playboy’s December issue, out on Friday.
The blonde, who is married to musician Jamie Hince, is mother to 11-year-old Lila Grace, by her ex-partner Jefferson Hack.
‘She’s a worldwide celebrity and iconic and crosses the boundaries from sexual imagery to upscale modelling. It’s a natural for us
The shoot was meant to be top secret, but in June it was reported that Kate’s hairstylist Oribe Canales had accidentally revealed she had already posed for fashion photographers Marcus Pigott and Mert Atlas, who have taken portraits of stars ranging from Lady Gaga to Jennifer Lopez and Madonna.
Kate’s shoot is bound to be ever so fashionable as W magazine’s Alex White has styled the pictures – and she even noted the date when the shoot was done in London on March 16 by tweeting a picture of non other than the Playboy bunny.
