Kate Moss poses for Playboy for her 40th birthday

Supermodel Kate Moss will celebrate the big four-oh by taking it off for the pages of Playboy magazine.

The men’s mag shot the world-famous catwalker, au naturel, for its January editions, celebrating Playboy’s 60th birthday. That commemorative issue is set for sale in early December.

A sneak peak of  Moss, who turns 40 on Jan. 16, will run run in December issues, hitting newsstands on Friday.

That advance shot of Moss has her in familiar Playboy gear — a corset, bunny ears, French cuffs, high heels and, of course, a  fluffy white tail. The photo was snapped by Playboy shooters  Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

“‘This is a massive global brand. You need a global icon in order to celebrate that — that was the impetus,” Playboy’s editorial director Jimmy Jellinek told the Los Angeles Times.

“You’re talking about the face of Burberry, the biggest supermodel in the world on the cover of Playboy. She’s the perfect partner for us to help launch the next 60 years.”
