Kate Moss Poses Nude for Lui Magazine [NSFW]
She celebrated her 40th birthday last year by stripping off for the cover of Playboy magazine. And now Kate Moss has done it again in a racy shoot for French men’s magazine Lui, shot by renowned photographer Terry Richardson.
Starring on the front cover, which the magazine excitedly tweeted a sneak peak of on Wednesday, the model’s bare bottom can be seen as she sits in what appears to be a director’s chair. Her long blonde hair falls down her back and her swallow tattoos can be seen just as she sits with legs apart apparently completely naked. The magazine tweeted:
And yes … Tomorrow # KateMoss strips off exclusively for Lui! Find Twig newsstand! # LUI5″
According to Metro News France, the cover will fold out into three parts showing the model in three different poses. One will see her face onwards, the other she is posing with her legs in the air, while the third is her derreire. Kate famously had her swallow tattoos designed by artist Lucian Freud, who drew her naked after they met through his daughter Bella.
Speaking about the inking to Vanity Fair a couple of years ago, she said: ‘He told me about when he was in the navy, when he was 19 or something, and he used to do all of the tattoos for the sailors. And I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s amazing.’
‘And he went, ‘I can do you one. What would you like? Would you like creatures of the animal kingdom?’ I mean, it’s an original Freud. I wonder how much a collector would pay for that? A few million?’ The release of the cover comes as Kate is currently in Paris alongside her husband Jamie Hince for fashion week.

Kate has done lots of nudes over the years but almost all of them in a high fashion context. At 40, she evidently decided time was running out to pull down some bucks from Playboy and Lui. Rumor has it that she and the M&M team were paid $4 million (who knows what the split was) for her Playboy 60th anniversary pictorial. It’s all great and I love looking at the photos even though her expressions, for the most part, seem to indicate she’d rather be somewhere else. However, there is no way a magazine can make money on a pictorial that costs that much. Plus, I’ll bet it was stolen and online overnight if not before the magazine actually found the newsstand.
As time has gone on, my perception of Kate Moss is that she becomes more and more disconnected with the camera with every shoot. Maybe it’s just part of her look at this point.
It is unfortunate that the images get stolen and distributed, let alone before the magazine even has a chance to publish first. It has to be incredibly frustrating for a magazine to get scooped with their own content.
