'I like that I'm associated with sexuality!' Provocative Miley Cyrus strips NAKED

WE'RE well used to seeing Miley Cyrus twerking in various states of undress – but the wild child has outdone herself with this latest selection of pics. UNRECOGNISABLE: Miley Cyrus goes Gaga in provocative shoot [Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot/W magazine]

And the 21-year-old stripped NAKED for W magazine in one of her most daring shoots to date.
The singer is barely recognisable as she rocks bleached eyebrows and a platinum blonde bob for the sizzling cover photo.
The image shows Miley reclining sans clothing under a white pillow, exposing plenty of sidebooty and the enormous dreamcatcher tattoo inked on her side.

Sultrily staring at the camera, all Mi wears is a collection of chunky silver rings and bangles – and not even a smile, as she purses her lips in a bored pout.
But simply concealing your private parts with bedding isn't enough for the former Disney princess, and inside the mag she turns hellraiser to go bottomless.

Wearing her hair wet, Miley teams a Alexander McQueen top with… well, absolutely nothing.
All that's keeping the chart-topper's modesty from being exposed is the leather fringe dripping from the intricate garment, which she holds protectively to her body to avoid flashing.
And to even things out, the Wrecking Ball singer also essentially went topless, biting her lip seductively as a masculine Balmain leather jumpsuit falls from her shoulders to reveal her bust.
The provocative shoot comes along with a typically carefree and controversy-sparking interview peppered with f-bombs.
Miley said she doesn't care about anyone who criticises her wild ways, saying: "I don’t give a s***.
"I’m not Disney, where they have, like, an Asian girl, a black girl, and a white girl, to be politically correct and everyone has bright-coloured T-shirts."

She continued: "I'm not making any kind of statement. Anyone that hates on you is always below you, because they’re just jealous of what you have."
And she also stood up for her slightly unusual style; vinyl knickers and leotards reaching her ribs come to mind.
The twerkaholic said: "I'm trying to tell girls, like, 'F*** that. You don’t have to wear make-up. You don’t have to have long blonde hair and big t***ed.'
"I like that I’m associated with sexuality and the kind of punk-rock s*** where we just don’t care.
"Like Madonna or Blondie or Joan Jett – Jett's the one that I still get a little shaky around. She did what I did in such a crazier way.
"I mean, girls then weren't supposed to wear leather pants and f***ing rock out. And she did."
While we don't think Cyrus can add herself to the punk rock heroine hall of fame just yet, maybe she can be admired for going against the grain of cookie-cutter pop princesses.
Or is it just the work of a dollar-hungry suited business exec?
