Jenny McCarthy’s cover shot for Playboy’s July/August issue has been released online before hitting newsstands June 29.
The model’s sixth cover, and seventh nude pictorial for the 39-year-old blonde bombshell, and includes eight pages shot by photographer Steve Shaw.
Dressed on the cover in mesh, fingerless gloves, high black boots and dark red nail polish, covering her breast with her hand and crossing her legs, McCarthy makes mature sexy.
“I’m not the girl with the ribbon holding her pinkie in her mouth, giggling,” she tells People of the images. “I still have that side to me, but this really strong chick came out.”
“The pictures are really gorgeous and classy. They could be out of W magazine,” McCarthy told People of the shoot. “They’re really elegant. It’s probably a lot more sophisticated than a lot of the stuff you’d see of people with their clothes on.”
As for how she prepped for the shoot, the model said, “The one thing I like about Playboy is they don’t have the anorexic look… The women are voluptuous. So I didn’t really want to diet. I just wanted to tone up.”
McCarthy, who is dating Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, first appeared in Hugh Hefner’s famed magazine in 1993 and has been named Playmate of the Month and Playmate of the Year. This is her first appearance since 2005.
