Miley Cyrus has posed for her most explicit photo shoot yet. The pop star posed topless and with sex toys in a series of magazine covers for a publication called Candy.

The photos were snapped by controversial photographer Terry Richardson, who also directed the singer’s “Wrecking Ball” video, which featured her astride a wrecking ball in nothing except a pair of Doc Marten boots.

The magazine is described as "celebrating transvestism, transsexuality, crossdressing and androgyny in all their glory."

In the photos the 22-year-old performer almost licks her armpit hair, holds a kitten while naked and makes provocative gestures with a baton in a police costume.

In an interview with ELLE UK magazine last month, Cyrus said that she considers herself pansexual – meaning she’s open to dating everyone.

She said: "I’m very open about it – I’m pansexual. But I’m not in a relationship. I’m 22, I’m going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I’m with."
