Actress Jennifer Lawrence has posed nude with a Colombian red-tailed snake slithering over her body.

The photograph was posted on Vanity Fair’s Instagram page on Thursday. The image is taken from the magazine’s November 2014 photo shoot, taken by Patrick Demarchelier, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The photograph, which features a strategically placed boa constrictor, was meant to pay homage to a Nastassja Kinski image for Vogue back in 1981 that was taken by photographer Richard Avedon.

Jessica Diehl, who styled the shoot, said: “Jennifer has the perfect combination of strength, sexuality, and humour, and, above all, tomboy to pull this off.”

According to the caption that accompanied the Instagram post, Lawrence’s racy photograph would be featured on the March issue of Vanity Fair.
