The bootyful star is usually found thrusting her gravity-defying backside at the camera.
But she gives famous bum a break in the new issue of Elle magazine ... and lets her other assets take centre stage.
Nicki, 30, stripped off her..
wigs and garish make-up she's almost unrecognisable. The results were astonishing.
On the saucy cover, the American Idol judge unzips a leather jacket to show she's totally topless underneath.
Inside she stares seductively at the camera while gripping her blonde highlights.
Nicki admitted to Elle she felt naked at the shoot.
She said: "To go in front of the camera, without pink lips or big ol' crazy lashes - you know, nothing - I felt naked" "It was scary! So this photo shoot was a real accomplishment in my eyes."
WHICH OF THE PICTURES DOES SHE LOOK BETTER IN?
