Irina Shayk has never been shy about modelling in daring photoshoots, so her latest cover shoot should come as no surprise.
The supermodel, 40, has graced this month's issue of V Magazine in a racy bondage-themed shoot.
Photographed by famed videographer and artist Steven Klein, Shayk struck a series of provocative poses in several skimpy leather ensembles.
In one image, she even posed completely nude in nothing more than a long leather cape.
The shoot received a mixed reaction from the Russian model's fans, with some approving of the 'flawless' photos, while others felt that she'd gone too far.
'I'm sorry, but this photo makes me unhappy,' commented one.

'Why did you agree to this?' asked another, while a third wrote, 'I didn't like this.'
A fourth wrote, 'Irina always looks stunning,' while another added, 'What do you mean she's forty?!'
Discussing the wild shoot inside V Magazine, Shayk said that she was playing a 'character' that she'd developed alongside Klein.
'For me, she represents a kind of wild femininity,' she explained.
'She's bold. She's masculine in her own way. She lives in leather. She goes out. She's in her "yes" era -- fearless, unapologetic, fully herself.'
This isn't the first time that Shayk has stripped down for a raunchy photoshoot.
Exactly ten years ago, the mother-of-one posed completely naked for GQ Italia.
Shayk's latest shoot comes after the Victoria's Secret veteran talked about her ex Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares a daughter named Lea De Seine Cooper, aged eight.
The shoot received a mixed reaction from the Russian model's fans, with some approving of the 'flawless' photos, while others felt that she'd gone too far.
The 40-year-old looked bizarre in a leather mask and trousers.
The Russian supermodel showed off her long legs in an awkward pose.
Clad in leather, the brunette beauty posed next to a motorcycle.
In another image from the edgy shoot, Shayk submerged herself in a bathtub.
Last year, Shayk explained how she and Cooper help their daughter Lea 'feel comfortable' around their fame.
'She has very, very little digital access, almost down to none,' she told People magazine.
Shayk said that she and the A-list actor try their best to turn their attention to 'building community, friends and just giving love.'
She added,'This is the best thing that you could give to your kid,raising them in a loving family.'
And she touched on beauty standards,saying:'There are so many beauty standards out there that of course I try to protect my daughter from.'
Cooper has also said he makes his daughter a part of his filmmaking career.
'There's nothing weird about it,' Bradley told E! News in October. 'It's just a part of what we do, and it's kind of a nice thing. She cares so much about it.'
He continued: 'Kids, they say exactly what they think, and she has a big opinion about everything.'
'I love it and I care what she thinks. Even with casting, we'll look at casting auditions together.'
Meanwhile, Cooper is now dating Gigi Hadid. They are 'on the same page about what they want long-term'.
The 30-year-old model has been dating Bradley, 50, for two years, and the loved-up couple are both happy with where their relationship is heading.
