The mother-of-one has graces the December cover of Esquire magazine. The shots were taken by photographer David Slijper.

Miranda Kerr (aka Mrs Olrnadon Bloom) has stripped down to her underwear for a provocative new photoshoot in Esquire magazine.

The 29-year-old Victoria's Secret model shows off her enviable curves in the December issue of the men's monthly.

In the selection of snaps, taken by renowned photographer David Slijper, the brunette beauty flashes the flesh wearing just underwear and a number of jackets.

One image sees her knees in heels and a leather jacket with her lock tumbling down her back.

In another snap, she poses for the camera while snuggled up in a fur coat.

She ups the ante for the sizzling cover shoot and goes topless while showing off her firm bottom in French knickers.

But despite her ultra-feminine looks, Australian-born Kerr had revealed that she was very much a tom-boy growing up.

"I spent my childhood outdoors on my grandparents' farm. I learned to ride a motorbike when I was about six, a little PeeWee 50," she said.

"I'd climb trees - there was a big weeping willow. We had a flying fox [a zip-line]. I was so fortunate to grow up like that."

The mother-of-one, who is married to actor Orlando Bloom, also insists that women should always celebrate their bodies, regardless of their size or shape.

"I believe in celebrating the female figure and embracing what we've been given, not hiding that," she said.
