Miley Cyrus poses completely naked on cover of photographer David LaChapelle's new book

Miley Cyrus has posed naked on the cover of acclaimed photographer Dave LaChapelle’s forthcoming book, Lost + Found.

The 24-year-old leaves nothing to the imagination as she appears as a butterfly-esque creature, wearing a flesh toned body suit with strategically placed crystals protecting her modesty.

The singer is also sporting a curly blonde wig, and dramatic, colourful make-up, posing in a jail cell surrounded by wings and floral motifs.

The book, which is his first in a decade, is said to feature over 150 unpublished images from the photographer’s nearly 30-year career in the industry. They will range from his early work in New York in the ‘80s, up until today.

Alongside Miley, other notable celebrities will also be featured in the book. Julian Assange, Naomi Campbell, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Dwayne Johnson, Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga and Hilary Clinton are among those set to appear in the latest collection.

Miley is currently gearing up for the release of her sixth studio album, which is set to be released later this year.

Speaking to Elle UK, Miley opened up on her approach to nudity, proving she knows exactly what she’s doing when she casually appears naked on  Instagram and beyond.

"If you get your tits out, and they are all looking, then you can use that space to say something and get them to listen."
