Gigi Hadid looked every inch the sexpot as she graced the cover of W magazine.
The American model, 20, struck a series of sultry poses as she told the magazine how stripping naked for a risque perfume ad gave her career a huge boost.
But the blonde beauty – who the magazine dubs a ‘Post It Girl’ because of her social media influence – says she’s not just a pretty face, and has always viewed modeling as a business.

Posing naked for a risque Tom Ford perfume advert jump-started her career, Hadid told W.
‘I’ve never been scared of being naked in pictures, but I wouldn’t do naked for naked’s sake,’ she said.
‘With Tom, it was an easy decision. When you think of scent, you don’t think of clothes. In the beginning, I thought Tom would not want to know my name.
‘But he made a space for me in the high-fashion world. When Tom liked me, other jobs followed.’
The model has been praised for her rare appeal to both high fashion and commercial gigs.
n the glamorous images, the Sports Illustrated model shows off her curves in a series of racy images.
She wears her blonde hair in a large, 1960s-inspired style, paired with a dramatic smokey eye.
In one sultry shot, she shows off her trim tummy by lifting up her sweater and exposing a pair of frilly Angela Friedman knickers.
The beauty is also seen drinking as she lounged in bed, wearing a black La Perla bra and panties and a see-through Valentino top, and her long hair mussed into a sexy bedhead style.
The Santa Barbara-raised Hadid ditched her childhood modelling gigs for horseback riding and volleyball, before picking up her career again in her late teens.
‘I have always been aware of the business side of this industry,’ Hadid told the magazine.
‘I’ve always seen it as a career that required work and planning.’
And she is certainly making an impact after she was named The World’s Most Connected Supermodel by W.
The beauty has been given the title because of her incredible influence on social media with 5 million Instagram followers.
The model made headlines after splitting with Australian singer Cody Simpson and taking up with new boyfriend Joe Jonas.
But she seems to take the attention in her personal life in stride, including rumors she and Kendall Jenner are fighting over British Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton.
‘Supposedly, Kendall and I are fighting over Lewis,” the 20-year-old said.
‘I have to read the news to find out what’s happening in my life.’
