With just a spot of strategically-placed foliage protecting her modesty, the 27-year-old pop icon showcased her incredible curves and alabaster skin for all to see.

Wearing her long brunette locks draped seductively over her shoulder, the Applause hitmaker's naked body was scattered with leaves and moss as she positively smouldered into the camera.

Writing a series of tweets, she said: 'I feel like crying seeing your excitement for the new music it means the world to me, this music is my life.
'FUN FACT about ARTPOP: I sang the songs over and over until they transformed into a part of me. Then we pressed record. Each song on ARTPOP was inspired by different types of adrenalin, so it's an expression of the various rushes. I want you to feel them.'
This is the latest in a series of flesh-flashing shoots for the pop megastar, who shed her inhibitions on her risqué new album cover for ARTPOP, posing nude as she clutched her bare breasts.

highly regarded artist Jeff Koons.
The singer tweeted: 'I'm nervous&excited to share something that's such a piece of my heart. Something I cherish deeply.'
She went on to provide a countdown: 'Album cover can be unlocked in 30 min by trending #iHeartARTPOP !'
Gaga then endearingly admitted her own nervousness: 'I'll be in the bathroom throwing up'.
Minutes later she unveiled the cover art with the caption: 'FULL ARTPOP ALBUM COVER.'

Her final message revealed that the image of her naked was in fact a sculpture created by pop artist Jeff Koons, who famously immortalised Michael Jackson and his pet chimpanzee Bubbles with a similar sculpture in 1988.
The fragmented collage art surrounding Gaga's nude bust on the album cover appears to be made of cut outs from Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, painted in 1486.

for her forthcoming album
Seeming to mimic the large windblown hair and seashell themes of the classic painting, Gaga's costume for Applause - both in her stage performances and in the official video - features a large wig and a clamshell bikini.
The motifs could represent an underlying thematic message regarding sex and empowerment for the forthcoming album.

Another image on the album cover is a blue ball, that is strategically placed to protect the Poker Face singer's modesty.
According to MTV.com the entire sculpture, including Gaga, is made from white plaster and is part of Koons' ongoing series called Gazing Ball.
The release date for ARTPOP is scheduled for November 11.
