Men's magazine Playboy shared an outtake from the upcoming 60th anniversary issue, which will feature Kate Moss on the cover.

In the sultry image, the married mother-of-one is wearing signature trademark Playboy velvet bunny ears with a strapless bodysuit with a bunny tail while crawling on all fours. She gazes at the camera for the image shot by photography duo Merta Alas and Marcus Piggott.

In September, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and his editorial director confirmed that Moss would appear on the cover. Hefner told the Los Angeles Times that she is the perfect choice to celebrate the brand's longevity.

"She's a worldwide celebrity and iconic and crosses the boundaries from sexual imagery to upscale modeling," Hefner said. "It's a natural for us."

Editorial Director Jimmy Jellinek said that because the magazine is "a massive global brand, you need a global icon in order to celebrate that - that was the impetus."

"This creates a heat for the brand globally. It started with Marilyn Monroe on the cover of Playboy 60 years ago, an icon for her time. Now we've got Kate Moss," he said. "She is the perfect partner for us to help launch the next 60 years."

Moss' pictorial will include a full frontal nudity shot and will also feature her wearing "velveteen bunny ears, French cuffs, silk stockings and come-hither smile," Jellinek said.

The magazine will arrive on newsstands around the time of her 40th birthday on Jan. 16.
