Rihanna

Barbadian hottie Rihanna was recently named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire magazine. The singer retured the favour by posing nude for the magazine's November cover.

A glistening Rihanna is seen sitting with one of her legs concealing her modesty while two stray leaves cling to her body.

This new cover reminds us of the ways Hollywood actresses have ruffled feathers and fired imaginations by posing nude on magazine covers.

Here, then, we bring you the best of the lot and you decide which of these is your favourite. Vote at the end of the slideshow!

Kim Kardashian

Reality show star and socialite Kim Kardashian has a derriere so perfect, skeptics have often wondered if she pads them up.

I think this smoking picture of her on the cover of W magazine pretty much lays all doubts to rest. New husband Kris Humphries is one lucky guy.

She does know how to accessorise.

Megan Fox

Former Transformers hottie Mega Fox, who was unceremoniously kicked out of the hit franchise and promptly replaced by Victoria Secret model Rosie Huntington Whitley, fired up a Maxim edition back in the days of glory.

She's still got it though.
