Charli XCX wears black lingerie on Playboy’s fall 2026 cover

Don’t need to guess the color of her underwear.

Wearing nothing but a black lingerie set and heels, Charli XCX is Playboy magazine’s fall 2026 cover star.

The shoot was staged in London on a boat along the Thames, and photographed by Aidan Zamiri, the director behind her mockumentary from A24, “The Moment.”

In the pics, Charli leans against a bar, wearing nothing but a thong and sheer teddy, lying on a bed with her climbing up the headboard at her feet as well as various stages of undress, with the London skyline as her backdrop.

In one image, she holds her leather-gloved hands on top of her chest, Big Ben visible over her left shoulder. In another, she tops her white lingerie look with an overcoat, sharing of the outdoor shoot, “The tourists were into it.”

For the interview, the performer looked to her friend and fellow Playboy model Kylie Jenner, who also starred in “The Moment.”

“I’ve wanted to shoot with Playboy for a while,” Charli shared, adding, “It’s such an iconic magazine.”

Continuing, “I love the logo. I love the underwear. I love female bodies. I love full-out sexiness.”

She even has a song on her latest album, “Music, Fashion, Film,” called “Playboy Bunny.”

In keeping with the candid nature of the photoshoot, Charli explained, “To me, a sexy photo is something that captures someone’s true essence. It’s not necessarily a perfect photo. It can be raw, messy, perhaps a little vulnerable at points,” adding, “I think a sexy photo shows the truth.”

Charli revealed back in February on “Feeding Starving Celebrities” that she’d like to make a little bit of a career pivot. When asked if she’d like to do more acting, she confessed, “Yes, are you kidding? I want to quit music, babe, and act.”

She’s throwing her support behind friend Jenner, too, telling her, “You were just so funny, and your improv was effortless. I had fun shooting with you.”
