Naked again: In the new cover for her album Bangerz Miley appears topless with just a strategically placed arm to protect her modesty
The 20-year-old singer – who is having a tough week after her former fiancé Liam Hemsworth moved on to Mexican beauty Eiza Gonzalez - gives a sultry stare for the camera and her Just Breathe tattoo is clearly visible beneath her left breast.
This is one of four new covers Miley has unveiled. While the others will be available at retail locations, the topless Miley album art can be bought only at her online store.
The other three covers are slightly more demure with the singer alternatively wearing a black leather jacket, a white tank top and black and white pants and a close-up of her face surrounded by roses.
Although her personal life is in tatters, Miley’s professional life is going from strength to strength with Wrecking Ball hitting the top spot on the US Billboard charts on Wednesday.
Tough week: Miley announced her split from Liam Hemsworth on Monday and he has already moved on to Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez
This makes it the first number one Miley has ever had on the coveted chart.
The songstress previously came close with her singles We Can't Stop and Party In The U.S.A, which both charted at number two.
She tweeted, ‘#1 on Billboard. #1 on iTunes. #1 on Spotify. #1 on Streaming. #1 on Digital songs. #1 most added to pop radio. #1 on VEVO. #WreckingBall.’
Controversial: Miley's new grown-up image has caused controversy, such as in the video for Wrecking Ball where she got naked
This will surely come as a welcome distraction for the star, after she and Liam announced on Monday that they had ended their engagement.
Liam proposed to Miley in May 2012, and at the time the Hannah Montana star gushed about her future with the hunky Australian actor.
‘I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam,' she told People magazine at the time.
The pair first met on the set of the 2010 romantic drama The Last Song, and began dating not long after.

But in the last year, they have seemingly struggled with their relationship, breaking up and getting back together several times as each one continues in different directions of their careers.
According to Life & Style, Liam wanted to announce the couple's split much earlier in the year after repeatedly telling the singer that their relationship was over.
'Liam has been begging Miley to announce the split all summer,' a source told the magazine.
'He wants to go out and have fun without being branded a cheater!'
'He wants to go out and have fun without being branded a cheater!'
But it seems that Miley was in denial, and still is about the end of their relationship.
'She's in denial,' the source added. 'Everyone around her is worried this could have a really bad effect on her.'
Love rival: Liam has been spotted kissing Eiza just days after announcing his split from Miley
Another insider told the magazine that Miley was telling friends that Liam 'loved her' right up until they announced their break-up on Monday, and has already been begging him to take her back.
'She texts him so much, especially super late at night,' the source said. 'His friends joke about it. Liam doesn't want to be mean - but he wants to be single.'
Liam has meanwhile reportedly offered Miley an olive branch by telling her she can keep her engagement ring following their split.
He is said to have told his former fiancée that he has no desire for her to return the sparkling diamond.
Miley's ring, which Liam presented her with last year, is a 3.5-carat diamond ring from jeweller Neil Lane, worth $250,000, handcrafted in 18-karat gold and speckled with intricate diamond floral motifs.
