W magazine’s Pop issue (which features Taraji P. Henson on the cover) includes a spread of the 10 sexiest supermodels on social media: Emily Ratajkowski, Joan Smalls, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Chrissy Teigen, Irina Shayk, Lily Aldridge, Bella Hadid, Anna Ewers, Barbara Palvin and Doutzen Kroes. In the profile, which is called, “Privacy Settings,” W‘s Fashion Director Edward Enninful wanted to examine how models are “captivating audiences in new ways” and “comment on the ideas of voyeurism, privacy and censorship vs. self-expression on social media.”
And the result is a super-sultry spread, shot by fashion photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, showing the famous subjects at their most seductive yet — in very little clothing. (Or in Chrissy Teigen’s case, no clothing — click here for the full NSFW shot!)

The whole lingerie-clad bunch pose provocatively on couches, over chairs, against the wall (you get the point), clad in heavy makeup, messy just-rolled-out-of-bed hair and the season’s hottest shoes.

Along with the sexy spread, the models were interviewed about what makes them feel comfortable in their skin and how they take control of how they’re portrayed and perceived on social media.
“When you’re shooting nude, there’s always a sense of empowerment,” comments Huntington-Whitely. Teigen adds, “The most uncomfortable I’ve ever been on set was having to model coats. I actually am better in less clothing.”

As far as living up to the gorgeous photos they produce on set, Smalls explains, “People say, ‘You’re prettier in person,’ and I’m like, ‘Is that a compliment?’”
But Shayk tells W that the real secret to capturing the ultimate selfie is to “love your body.” (And what better way to do that than to practice being naked — in bed?)
