Singer Miley Cyrus, who has been in the news for mostly wrong reasons, has now come in the spotlight for posing in the buff for a magazine cover.

The 21-year-old, popular for her twerking acts, has posed nude for V Magazine's Rebel Issue, slated to hit stands in September, reports dailystar.co.uk.

Her modesty is hidden by two strategically-placed smiley face stickers, and the former Disney star gazes seductively at the camera.

The magazine will hit stands Sep 10.
