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.
Playboy’s editorial director, Jimmy Jellinek,told the Los Angeles Times that Kate was the perfect poster girl for the magazine.
He said: ‘This is a massive global brand. You need a global icon in order to celebrate that — that was the impetus. You’re talking about the face of Burberry, the biggest supermodel in the world on the cover of Playboy. She’s the perfect partner for us to help launch the next 60 years.’
'This creates a heat for the brand globally. It started with Marilyn Monroe on the cover of Playboy 60 years ago, an icon for her time. Now we've got Kate Moss!'
While Playboy founder Hugh Hefner added: ‘She’s a worldwide celebrity and iconic and crosses the boundaries from sexual imagery to upscale modelling. It’s a natural for us.’
Kate has bared all before and earlier this year posed topless for V magazine on in a photo shoot with famed photographer Mario Testino.

Black Bandeau Swimsuit with U Bar Cutout
It wasn't only the Amalfi Coast location, or even the bride that stunned at the wedding of Jean-Yves le Fur and Malgosia Bela last weekend - guest Kate Moss crammed her suitcase full of designer gems like this black bandeau U Bar swimsuit.
You've heard of the T bar and the V neck, but in the swimwear world right now, it's all about the U bar. Showing off a suitably chic amount of cleavage, the strapless style of this one piece has a retro yet classic feel. The metal U bar reinforced construction also gives a comforting amount of structure to the gravity-defying bandeau style.
Although Miss Moss could make anything look good, this style really is universally flattering. So why not try invest in one of our little black swimsuits from the edit below? There aren't many of Mossy's model looks you could recreate for only £29, so snap up this Accessorize one piece while you still have the chance.
Now all you need is an invite to a glitzy wedding in slightly warmer climes...
