Cara Delevingne is officially a Playboy Bunny.
True to form, the model-turned-musician covers the summer issue of Playboy Magazine in a risqué look that’s — literally — smokin’ hot.
In the cover shot, Delevingne, 33, wears nothing but a black lace corset by Atsuko Kudo ($1,979) as she uses holds a lit match up to a cigarette in her mouth with one hand and the other to (barely) cover her bottoms.
In addition to making an impact with her steamy pics, Delevingne is the first out lesbian woman to ever appear on the print cover of Playboy.
In celebration, she slipped into the brand’s iconic Bunny Suit corset with matching tail and ears — the first model to do so since Kate Moss in 2014.
The publication teased the cover on social media on Monday, with a photo of her wet torso, hands over her chest with just some telling tattoos to reveal who it might be to those in the know.
“Tomorrow, get your hands on our Summer 2026 cover star,” read the caption.
Back in 2023, the musician shared that she would be removing a number of tattoos after getting sober, though this shoot served as confirmation that she still left herself quite a few pieces of sentimental ink.
New York Times best-selling author Ottessa Moshfegh chatted with the 33-year-old who “says she worked with a predominantly female team [for the cover shoot] to feel agency over her body, appearing nude and embracing her image.
“Of course, Playboy is very much a heterosexual institution,” she said in the article. “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.”
The shoot was photographed by Zoey Grossman and styled by Lana Jay Lackey.
“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,” she told Moshfegh.
She continued, “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.”
Playboy’s Summer Issue hits newsstands on July 28.
