Miley Cyrus poses completely nude on steamy cover of Perfect magazine
The singer graces the front page of a 80-page special issue, out on August 11, with nothing but her tattooed hand strategically placed over one of her breasts, while her hair is positioned in front of the other.
The 32-year-old stands in the photo which is cut off very low on her stomach, suggesting she wasn't wearing anything during the photo shoot.
'Even if I'm wearing nothing, there still feels like a level of power to it,' Cyrus is quoted as saying in the accompanying interview.
The Grammy winner poses for two other covers for the magazine, shot by photographers Paolo Roversi and Lynette Garland. In the second cover, Cyrus is fully clothed in a Marie Antoinette-style gown paired with low-top Converse sneakers.
'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,' she tells the magazine of the gown.
'It still feels like skin. I don't feel like it ever overpowers. I don't feel like it's wearing me.'
And in the third cover, Cyrus rocks a corset by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren from their Spring/Summer 1982 Savage collection.
The sizzling shot comes months after she opened up about her body hang-ups on Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast, revealing she developed insecurities after seeing memes about her infamous performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with Robin Thicke.
To this day, the thought of swimwear haunts the star as it reminds her of the near-nude, two-piece ensemble she wore on stage at the time.
'There was a couple that were about my body, and people were putting my head on very unattractive things,' she told Lewinsky on the podcast episode which aired in June.
'And I still see that when I put on a bathing suit to this day. I wear very – you would never think – very modest bathing suits.'
'I'm still so insecure about those memes about my body.'
On a recent girls' trip with her sisters and friends, Cyrus revealed she opted for a tankini when 'everyone else had on a string bikini'.
'Except me – I was in shorts,' she confessed.
'I don't even know if people wear tankinis anymore. I was wearing a tank top,' Cyrus added, saying that her choice looked like 'what a grandma wears to the beach'.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter Apple hits the beach in bikini
Apple Martin is giddy in gingham — just like her mama. The 21-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin was photographed enjoying a day at the beach in the Hamptons with a mystery man. Apple showed off her lithe figure in a gingham-print string bikini with a triangle top and matching bottoms, both featuring white piping. Apple took a dip in the water, splashed around in the waves and was later seen frolicking along the shore with wet hair. The blonde beauty dried off with a white linen towel, which she wrapped around her torso. Photographers snapped her and her male companion standing side-by-side as they chatted and walked off the beach. The unidentified brunette sported baby blue swim trunks and had his own white linen towel, a dark grey T-shirt and a cream-coloured beach bag slung from his shoulders. Apple is the spitting image of her mother — who, in 2022, modelled a very similar gingham bikini top for her lifestyle brand, Goop — while her 19-year-old brother, Moses Martin, looks just like their dad. Paltrow, 52, and Chris, 48, got married in December 2003. They welcomed Apple the following May, while Moses was born in April 2006. The actress-turned-lifestyle maven and the musician 'consciously uncoupled' in March 2014 before officially divorcing in July 2016. Paltrow moved on with her husband, Brad Falchuk, whom she wed in September 2018. Martin, for his part, recently broke up with his longtime partner, Dakota Johnson. In early June, Johnson, 35, hinted in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that she and the Coldplay frontman had split. Hours later, People reported that Dakota and Chris — who dated on and off for nearly eight years — had broken up for good, with a source claiming, 'It feels final this time.' Johnson then stepped out sans engagement ring, which Page Six was previously told Chris gave her about two years into their relationship. According to the US Sun, the actress and the rock star called it quits for two main reasons: their age gap and the topic of kids. 'They really tried to work through their issues, but the age gap was often a problem,' a source told the outlet. 'She'd [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life,' the source added, making sure to note that there was not a lack of love between the two.

Kelly Clarkson reveals ‘hidden battle' of past year as she postpones more tour dates
Kelly Clarkson has finally spoken out about the challenges she's reportedly faced in the past year as she abruptly postpones more dates of her Las Vegas residency. After sparking concerns in recent months for cancelling live shows and having sudden absences from her TV show, Clarkson took to social media today to reveal that she would be postponing all her concerts at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace this month. 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,' the 43-year-old wrote in a rare statement shared on Instagram. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them. 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.' Although Clarkson divorced Brandon Blackstock in 2022 after nearly seven years of marriage, it appears she is still honouring the 'in sickness and in health' part of their vows as she and their two children – daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remy, 9 – rally around the talent manager. Clarkson has indeed had a tumultuous year. In early July, she axed the opening night of her Studio Sessions residency just 90 minutes before showtime with reports at the time suggesting she was at risk of causing 'serious damage' to her voice. After cancelling the first weekend, Clarkson shared an emotional note on Instagram to thank her 'incredible fans'. 'The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice,' she wrote at the time. 'I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me and I am devastated to have to postpone.' 'I can't wait to be back next weekend and show y'all what we've been working on.' Back in March, Clarkson also mysteriously missed 10 episodes of her self-titled talk show on NBC, with her gig being filled by guest hosts, including Brooke Shields, Andy Cohen and Marvel star Simu Liu. Clarkson missed two weeks of the show without warning and returned with no explanation of her absence, citing only 'personal reasons', which sparked more concerns for her wellbeing. 'I just want to know if Kelly is okay because it's now been kind of a long time,' one tweeted at the time, as another wondered, 'Is Kelly okay?' 'I respect Kelly Clarkson's privacy, but I am very concerned about her,' one fan added, as another commented, 'Sad her followers aren't being told why she missing. Last month, a source told Page Six that the singer's personal life was 'insanely complicated' at the present moment. 'Kelly is fighting some serious hidden battles that very few people are privy to,' the source said. 'It's a source of emotional and therefore physical distress for her.' Clarkson's talk show contract reportedly expires after Season 7 in 2026 and, according to reports, she may not renew.

Fans go wild over steamy peach scene on hit teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty
Warning: Contains spoilers from The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, episode 5 The wholesome teen series The Summer I Turned Pretty took a rather racy turn on Wednesday night's episode – and diehard fans could barely contain themselves. The drama is based on author Jenny Han's New York Times best-selling trilogy of the same name that has been adapted into a smash-hit series by Prime Video. Fans of the novels have waited patiently for the iconic peach scene from the book to come to life on the big screen, and the wait is finally over. In the episode directed by Jenny Han herself, the love triangle between Isabel 'Belly' Conklin, her fiance Jeremiah and his brother Conrad – who also happens to be her ex – intensifies after a pit stop at a roadside peach stand. With Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) away for work, Conrad (Christopher Briney) helps Belly (Lola Tung) prep for her and Jeremiah's wedding. But Conrad's feelings for her are reignited in the racy scene that involves her biting into a peach. Needless to say, the scene is rather, er, juicy … As the Rolling Stones' dreamy song Wild Horses plays in the background, the sexual tension between Belly and Conrad is undeniable as he watches her devour the peach with no inhibitions. With juice dribbling down her chin and the sunlight glowing on her hair, Belly has all of his attention. 'That is a perfect peach,' she says. 'My god, I don't want to eat another one cause there's no way that it could be this good.' Conrad hands her another and her theory is proven wrong as the second peach is even tastier. As more juice drips off her chin, a mesmerised Conrad impulsively walks towards her, pulls his tucked-in white shirt out from his pants, and uses it to pat dry Belly's mouth, leaving her speechless. The scene is being hailed as 'one of the most intimate, non-sex scenes on teen TV' – and the internet went wild for 'the best episode ever'. 'I lost my mind in today's episode omfg the peach scene,' one tweeted on X, as another agreed: 'THE PEACH SCENE i'm weak in the knees.' Another tweeted, 'That peach scenes gave me f***ing chills like oh my god I want to yell so badly, the way Conrad used his whole f***ing shirt hem to wipe her face??? That felt so initmate.' 'Belly and Conrad's peach scene in #TheSummerITurnedPretty is even steamier in the book. #TSITP,' yet another commented, while one added, 'The Belly and Conrad peach scene was life changing Jenny Han you genius!' One X user is convinced that there was an underlying lesson for Belly in the pivotal scene. 'This peach scene is so sexy,' they tweeted. 'Conrad gives belly a second peach. She says she doesn't want eat it bc the first one was so perfect. Conrad is teaching Belly that second bite of the peach can be just as good as the first bite.' Not since Twilight 's Team Edward/Team Jacob saga have we seen fan hysteria levels like this surrounding a book-to-screen adaptation with the Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah fandom exploding online. Even Jenny Han couldn't help but tease her fans on Instagram when she shared a photo of leading lady Lola Tung holding a peach in an off-set photo. 'Team Conrad you up??' Han captioned the cheeky snap. Han and Tung visited Australia last week for the Prime Video Book Club Live event in Sydney, where Tung told that she loves seeing the Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah discourse coming into play as fans pick sides in the love triangle. 'It's nice to see that people are so passionate about it,' she told us. 'The discourse is great – it's what you're supposed to feel. I think there should be a back-and-forth pull, especially over the three seasons. Because Belly's not always sure where her heart is leading her.' 'That's what makes it interesting and makes you want to follow on the journey with her,' she added. 'She's not always making the most perfect decision, but I think that's what growing up is about – making mistakes and learning from them and following your heart.' Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty began streaming on Prime Video on July 16, and in the first seven days since it premiered, a massive 25 million viewers had already tuned in to the hit series. 'It's really humbling to think we worked really hard on the show and then this many people are tuning in and spending time with us,' Han told at the event.
