Model Cara Delevingne went topless with only bubbles protecting her modesty in a series of new videos posted to her Instagram account on Saturday.
The 34-year-old star gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at a sultry recent photoshoot, posted alongside a zoomed-in video showing off her cleavage in a black PVC corset-style top.
The clips were shared as part of a post captioned 'Summering,' which highlighted her recent activities and served to promote her expanding music career.
During the shoot, Delevingne put on an animated display wearing high-waisted, belted blue and white hot pants while a crew member carefully adjusted and applied bubbles across her chest.
Teaser for new single Crazy, Baby
The latest post follows a teaser Delevingne released on Tuesday evening for her upcoming song Crazy, Baby, which saw her continuing a racy image overhaul.
In the clip for the track, the model struts topless on a treadmill while covering her modesty with her hands, alongside scenes of her dancing in lingerie.
In her Instagram caption for the teaser, Delevingne stated that she was dedicating the track to "anyone who's ever been... not normal."
Delevingne launched her music career earlier this year with her debut tracks I Forgot and Out Of My Head. She revealed alongside her shoot that she intends to release her music under a different name to prevent listeners from having "preconceived ideas."
Historic Playboy cover photoshoot
The model's recent string of provocative releases comes shortly after she posed for her raciest magazine cover to date for Playboy.
Playboy detailed that Delevingne made history as the first out lesbian woman to appear on the print cover of the magazine. She also became the first supermodel to don the iconic Playboy Bunny Suit for the publication since Kate Moss in 2014.
During the Playboy shoot, Delevingne modelled a series of lingerie sets, wore red heart-shaped pasties in one setup, and covered her body with foam in another.
One image captured her lighting a cigarette with a match in a smouldering pose that displayed the tattoos along her arms. Another shot showed her prowling toward the camera in red lingerie alongside a vast screen displaying her image.
She also wore the classic Playboy ensemble comprising a corset, bowtie, bunny ears, and cuffs, with another photograph capturing a full shot of her bunny-tailed bottom, cuffs, and Playboy cufflinks.
Reflections on nudity and sexuality
Reflecting on the cover shoot, Delevingne declared, "It's so fun being naked," adding that she enjoyed the freedom of owning her sexuality and body.
She explained, "I love the sense in the freedom of owning my sexuality and owning my body and I think for the first time instead of getting naked for a brand or an editorial, this felt more like my choice. Like, of course it's always been my choice, but it felt like something so liberating. That to me is sexy."
Delevingne shared a conversation she had with her girlfriend while sending her photos from the set. "I was texting my girlfriend earlier and I was sending her the photos and she was like 'Oh my god, you look so pretty'. And I was like 'But I'm just a silly baby pretending to be a sexy lady and sometimes that's how it feels," she said.
She added, "You know, everyone has that kind of polarity and dichotomy and so kind of playing within that and still having fun while trying on this, like I'm a sexy woman because you can be all of those things."
Rebellion and empowerment
Delevingne described her Playboy appearance as "powerful" given the magazine's tradition. "Of course, Playboy is very much a heterosexual institution. That's why it felt like a bit of a 'f**k you' and a rebellious thing to do, and to have an incredible female-led creative team, a lot of them being queer, felt really fun and different," she said.
She also contrasted the experience with her past work in film and modelling. "I've been naked before in shoots, in movies. But it always made me feel a bit gross when it was for someone else, of course, it was my choice and I agreed to it, but it never felt empowering," Delevingne said.
"I didn't feel great after it. But today I had so much fun. I've never felt more comfortable in my body and in my sexuality. I feel like I'm in more of my prime as a woman and as a sexual being," she added.
