Miley Cyrus completely naked on book cover

Miley Cyrus

American pop star, Miley Cyrus, seems to have gone back to her old ways as she posed completely naked on the cover of acclaimed photographer David LaChapelle’s forthcoming book Lost + Found.

Leaving nothing to the imagination, the singer, 24, appeared as a nude butterfly, with only a flesh-toned bodysuit with strategically placed crystals protecting her modesty.

Sporting curly blonde hair and dramatic brightly-coloured make-up, the pop princess appears to pose in a jail cell for the shot surrounded by wings and floral paraphernalia.

A press release by the book’s publishers, Taschen, says LaChapelle’s Lost + Found “represents the dizzying journey of an unrivalled critical and creative eye, navigating a world in thrall to hyper-polished sexuality, as much as to the profound questions of human existence.”

The book features never-before-seen photos from David’s nearly 30-year career in the industry.

Michael Jackson, Hilary Clinton, Rihanna and Lady Gaga will also be featured in the art book, the photographers first in a decade.

Miley is gearing up for her hotly-anticipated performance at this weekend’s MTV Video Music Awards.
