Miley Cyrus goes NUDE for Perfect magazine cover... and reveals how it feels being in her birthday suit
The star, 32, went completely nude as she fronted the zine with just a single hand (and strategically-cropped photo) protecting her modesty.
Miley shot the camera with a smoldering gaze as she rested one hand atop her bare breast, her long hair cascading down in glossy waves.
The issue has yet to be released but Perfect provided a sneak peek of Miley's interview on their Instagram - with one describing the 'power' she feels when in her birthday suit.
'Even if I'm wearing nothing, there still feels like a level of power to it,' Miley - who also recently stripped down to her lingerie for a music video with Naomi Campbell - is quoted as saying.
While it is one of three covers Miley fronts for Perfect's upcoming fourth issue, it is arguably the magazine's most striking due to her daring pose.
Another cover sees Miley draped in an elegant gown from Sofia Coppola's 2005 Marie Antoinette film - but with a modern twist.
Paired with sneakers, Miley is adorned in the opulent Victorian frock with a feathered hat casually tied around her head.
'I feel like right now I'm in that kind of God pocket: everything is just flowing and there's a real harmonious relationship between me and what I'm wearing. It still feels like skin. I don't feel like it ever overpowers. I don't feel like it's wearing me,' she says in a quote accompanying this particular image.
A third cover offers a more intimate view of Miley as she piles her hair atop her head, her toned physique clad in a busty blue top with satin taupe ribbons.
She speaks about the power of fashion in an accompanying quote, reflecting on the glittering Bob Mackie dress she wore to the Grammy Awards last year.
'In a moment like the Grammys - where it's really high intensity, I'm nervous and there's a lot at stake - I know that that Bob Mackie dress is speaking to the crowd before I even say a word. I definitely use it, almost like a co-star.'
Miley won two of the six Grammy Awards she was nominated for last year - Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, both for Flowers.
Prior to becoming the superstar she is known as today, the daughter of Achy Breaky Heart singer Billy Ray Cyrus started her entertainment career as the star of Disney's Hannah Montana series.
The show, which debuted in 2006 and ended in 2011, will be celebrating it's 20th anniversary next year.
Recently the star said she is hoping to 'design something really, really special' for the occasion.
'It's about to be the 20 year Hannah-versary! In March!' she said on SiriusXM's TikTok Radio.
'I want to design something really, really special for it, because it really was the beginning of all of this, that now sits here today.
'Really, without Hannah, there really wouldn't be this kind of… this me. It's so crazy to think too that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed.
'And now that's something that when I walk into a space, it's looked at as this sense of kind of like nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood, but I've now been as kind of integrated into everyone's life as the character itself, so that's exciting to get to celebrate that.'

DHS sparks confusion by adopting socialist anthem for latest video: ‘He's writing about cops and vigilantes'
The Department of Homeland Security is facing criticism for using Woody Guthrie 's famous 1940 folk song 'This Land Is Your Land' in a promotional video. The song appears in a July 30 clip from the agency on X, soundtracking a video featuring scenes of natural beauty, families, and federal agents, plus the caption, 'The Promise of America is worth Protecting. The Future of our Homeland is worth Defending.' Experts on Guthrie say the singer — a lifelong socialist who wrote songs about topics like immigrant farmworkers and decorated his guitar with the slogan, 'This machine kills fascists' — was not intending to write an anthem for an agency carrying out mass deportations. Instead, Guthrie biographer Will Kaufman told CNN, the song reflects Guthrie's preoccupation with the inequality, poverty, and violence that took place during the 1930s in America in the wake of the Depression. 'Woody is writing about a different America,' he said. 'He's writing about cops and vigilantes and barbed wire and bread lines.' 'Boy, did the DHS ever get it wrong!' the Guthrie family added in an email to the outlet. 'So now, it looks like we'll all have to sing 'This Land Is Your Land' right back at 'em, so they can re-learn it and get it right.' Though the song has gone on to be considered a generic pro-U.S.A. anthem, it was originally written in part out of Guthrie's annoyance with another patriotic tune, 'God Bless America.' The original versions of 'This Land Is Your Land' also feature lesser-remembered verses about people who 'stood hungry,' as well as a line that called out a sign bearing the words 'private property' or ' no trespassing,' depending on which iteration was being sung. Later in life, Guthrie wrote a song calling out Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, for 'racial hate,' over the real estate developer's alleged history of racial discrimination towards potential tenants. The concern over DHS's use of Guthrie's music mirrors the response from artists and their families who have seen their paintings used in DHS social media efforts. As The Independent has reported, the agency has used nostalgic images of the Western frontier and small-town, midcentury America in between touting its military-style immigration raids, a combination one observer said was 'classic fascist propaganda.' The agency has also faced backlash for using memes like the Jet2 Holiday sound and AI-images to promote its deportation campaign.

Jenna Bush Hager details 'next chapter' after time on Today show 'comes to a close'
has been a staple on the Today show for over 15 years, but just months after Hoda Kotb left the show, the star confessed that she has been thinking about her 'next chapter.' The Today with Jenna & Friends host, 43, opened up about what she plans to do whenever her time on the morning show 'comes to a close' during Wednesday's episode. The acclaimed anchor confessed that she has a 'dream' of leaving New York and moving back to Austin, Texas, where she grew up, with her husband, Henry Hager, and three kids after she leaves Today. And while she didn't specify when that would be, she hinted that it may be sooner than later since she said she wanted her children Mila, 12, Poppy, nine, and Hal, six, to go to a 'big public high school' like she did as a kid - and her eldest is just a few years away from starting high school. 'I think everybody should have chapters in their lives. I have a dream - I don't know how realistic it is - but when the Jenna & Friends chapter comes to a close…' she said before an alarmed co-host Matt Rogers cut her off. 'Well why would that ever happen?' he asked. 'Well... linear television, baby! Who knows?' Jenna responded with a laugh. 'But when I'm ready to go to my next chapter, I think it would be so nice to move back to Texas and let my kids - I went to a big public high school - have a different life.' She opened up about what she plans to do whenever her time on the morning show 'comes to a close,' and said she wants to move back to Austin, Texas, where she grew up Jenna joined the Today show back in 2009 and began co-hosting Today with Hoda & Jenna in 2019. It was renamed earlier this year following Hoda's departure. Hoda, who was part of NBC News for 26 years, stepped down in order to spend more time with her young daughters, Haley Joy, eight, and Hope Catherine, five, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman. She has been keeping busy since leaving the show, and recently launched her own wellness company Joy 101. Jenna's shocking admission comes weeks after she was called out for seemingly body shaming a dad on the show. The 43-year-old mom-of-three was discussing men wearing Speedos with her co-host Dwyane Wade after a New York City-based dad named Tyler Moore went viral for wanting to normalize dads wearing the swim shorts. During the segment, Jenna voiced her distain for the revealing swimwear. 'If my husband brought out a Speedo, I'd be shocked,' she said. 'And by the way, a man thigh?' Dwyane then quipped: 'Yeah, a hairy man thigh, nobody wants to see that.' Before the segment moved on, a photo of Tyler and his children popped up on screen which led to Jenna commenting: 'And I would just say, not every dad looks like that model dad that we just put on TV.' Following the episode, Tyler hit out at the remarks and said that it was 'surreal' to have his 'body publicly discussed and shamed on national television.' Taking to threads, he wrote: 'Last week, my decision to wear a Speedo while lap swimming and open water swimming was discussed on The Today Show. 'During the segment, Jenna Bush Hager commented, "No one wants to see hairy man thighs," and followed up by saying, "Not every dad looks like that model dad," referring to a photo of me in the suit. 'It's a surreal experience to have your body publicly discussed and shamed on national television.' Tyler's comments were part of a larger post about body shaming, in which he urged the media and others to stop commenting on women's bodies. 'Seeing women tearing other women down over gaining or losing weight is insane to me,' he wrote. 'Seeing men even having an opinion on this is even more insane to me. 'Is being taught if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all a thing of the past? SMH. 'Nobody wants to hear your thoughts on their body, so let's please try to make this world a *sliver* of a better place by not tearing down someone you may or may not know.'

Midnight at the Palace review – glittering tribute to San Francisco's flamboyant Cockettes
This riotous ensemble captures the countercultural spirit of the 1970s and the heart of the San Francisco drag outfit the Cockettes from the off. Playing the psychedelic theatre troupe made up of hippies and drag queens, these eight performers are magnetic, conjuring up a cabaret wildness between them. They sing, dance and sashay out from beyond a red curtain in outre outfits. Allen and Adcock's costumes are stone cold fabulous: a storm of fishnets, feathers, kooky dresses, long socks and bodices. There are Sgt Pepper jackets twinned with ballerina tutus and a dazzle of sequins. The choreography by Paul McGill is cheeky, quirky, cute. It is all so imaginative, and winning. The one – significant – setback is that there is just not enough to Rae Binstock's skimpy book. The Cockettes get together, make it big in San Francisco and are booked for New York, but their opening night is a flop, so they go back home. You get a sense of what this LSD-taking troupe stands for and that they become their own chosen family. But there is no filling in of the details so you do not learn much about their avant-gardism, and that they endeavoured to put their lifestyle on stage. There is a central tension between Hibiscus (Andrew Horton, whose song, A Crab on Uranus, is a highlight) and Sylvester (Gregory Haney, just as good with his song, There's a Lady on the Stage). The former refuses to go to New York but this fallout is not carried through. Hibiscus merely makes a return by the end of the play when all is well again. The bigger political anxieties of the time waver in the background via 'read all about it' news-stand summaries, from the Vietnam war to the assassination of Martin Luther King, race riots and National Guard violence against protesting students. It's broad-brush and, at times, the sense of anarchy on stage trips over into confusion. Under the direction of McGill, it is not always immediately clear what is going on. This is not helped by a sound system that seems to over-amplify voices so that lyrics are occasionally hard to discern. The singing is still sparky, with Baylie Carson, who plays Sweet Pam, especially characterful. We hang on for Brandon James Gwinn's songs as well as the dance and glitter of the performances. And despite the dearth of story, there is such zest and infectious joy to the show that it enlivens you, mayhem and all.
