Karlie Kloss Just Posed Nude For The First Time [NSFW]
LatestKarlie Kloss, the supermodel from St. Louis, has been working since she was 14. She’s now 19, and recently, her work has become a little more, well, grown-up. And in modeling, that means one thing: Nudity. First, she showed under-boob, that gateway to further nekkidness, in a magazine editorial. She did the Victoria’s Secret show. She shot a beauty story for Allure that included some implied topless photos. She did the Christian Dior show — she’s the face of the brand — and wore a mesh dress that fully exposed her naked ass. And now, well: the new issue of Vogue Italia features a 14-page editorial by Steven Meisel, in which for one shot Kloss poses completely nude, but for a pair of stilettos and a sombrero (yeah, there’s a hat theme). It’s called, naturally, “Body By Kloss.” [Models.com]
Here are two of the NSFW pictures. If you’ve gotta go nude, we suppose, going nude for Steven Meisel in a Vogue Italia cover story is pretty cool.
Here are some images from Terry Richardson‘s new book on Lady Gaga. For those of you who appreciate NSFW warnings, we repeat: Terry Richardson. [The Cut]

Lea has been extremely brave in being very honest about her journey — but I don’t really see myself as being here to challenge transgender stereotypes. I’m just myself.” [Vogue UK]
