Overview
- Playboy announced Charli xcx as its U.S. autumn cover star on Thursday, with the issue going on sale September 29.
- The images, shot by longtime collaborator Aidan Zamiri in multiple London locations, show Charli in Yves Saint Laurent lingerie and some nude scenes, including shots on a boat on the River Thames.
- Charli told People she had long wanted to be photographed for Playboy and said she loves lingerie, the female body and 'pure sensuality,' framing the shoot as an expression of sexual confidence.
- The package includes an interview conducted by Kylie Jenner and a vinyl‑exclusive song called 'Playboy Bunny' released as the B‑side to 'SS26' from Charli’s new album 'Music, Fashion, Film.'
- The cover placement continues a cross‑platform strategy that fuses music, fashion and print to raise visibility for the album and shape Charli’s public image while reinforcing her relaxed public stance on marriage to George Daniel.
