Kate Moss' eagerly anticipated Playboy shoot was officially launched today, to celebrate the magazine's 60th anniversary.
The saucy snaps were taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and form part of an 18-page pictorial of the model, who turns 40 in January.
They show the model in a number of bunny girl outfits, as well as topless.
Hugh Hefner said: "From its beginning, Playboy has stood for freedom of speech, freedom of choice and freedom of the press. I am so proud to celebrate this anniversary as the magazine continues its mission to promote these core values many decades later."
"Playboy's anniversary edition is a testament to 60 years of beautiful women, discerning taste, sexual emancipation, groundbreaking fiction and world-changing journalism," said Editorial Director Jimmy Jellinek.
"Having Kate Moss, a global icon and the most important supermodel of the past 25 years, appear on our cover makes this issue the perfect way to launch Playboy's next 60 years."

Kate's shoot will appear in the January/February issue, the 60th anniversary of the magazine, out the same month that she celebrates her 40th birthday.

"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," added Playboy's editorial director, Jimmy Jellinek.

Set to arrive on newstands at the same time as the supermodel's 40th birthday in January, Moss will be photographed by fashion photographers Mert Atlas and Marcus Pigott, joining other models such as Elle MacPherson, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell who have all posed nude for the magazine.
On 8 March, we wrote...Kate Moss is reportedly set to take her recent spate of public flesh-flashing one step further, by starring on the cover of Playboy Magazine's 60th anniversary issue.
The 39-year-old model is rumoured to be shooting the spread for the legendary men's mag with fashion photography duo Mart and Marcus in London this month.
But Moss fans could be waiting some time to see the finished results if the shoot does go ahead, as the magazine isn't set to hit the newsstands until January 2014.
Playboy themselves are yet to confirm that the supermodel will be their cover star for the special milestone edition, but website NowThisNews claim that they received a leaked memo confirming it.
The note from the Playboy offices reads that the British star is set to feature on the cover and will be styled by W magazine's Alex White.
Moss is no stranger to stripping off for photo shoots. The supermodel recently posed in the buff in a bathtub for LOVE magazine, and was also the star of an S&M themed shoot with V Magazine last year.
