Before her tragic passing in 2007, Anna Nicole Smith was well known her outrageous behaviour.
But in a bizarre never-seen-before photo shoot, it appears that she took things to a whole other level.
New snaps show the late actress and model completely naked and painted in gold.
Taken while she was pregnant with her now five-year-old daughter Danielynn, Smith's modesty is merely covered by her arm and a thick veil of the metallic paint.

The logo of the company is also stencilled on her baby bump in black, running down to her left thigh.
The new images surfaced from internet casino Golden Palace.com, the company for which they say Smith was the face of.
She had agreed to become their spokesperson after her son Daniel passed away in 2006.

The campaign was also going to be launch with an exclusive 'Anna Nicole' slot machine.
'As big fans of Anna Nicole, we felt a collaborative effort would be mutually beneficial,' a company spokesman has said.

'Unfortunately, the tragic events that followed so closely after the photo shoot proved to be overwhelming for the starlet.
'Out of respect for her and her family, the campaign was immediately shelved.'
According to Golden Palace.com, the golden-themed photo shot was Anna Nicole's idea, who called it 'magical.'
'Like her persona, she wanted to capture the moment by doing something outrageous, memorable, and fun,' the spokesperson said.
They said that by releasing the pictures they were paying homage to the starlet's 'free spirit and zany sense of humour that captured a worldwide audience and countless devoted fans'.
The 'Anna Nicole' slot machine has now been revisited and will be released to the public soon, according to Golden Palace.com.
Smith died on February 8 2007 from an accidental drug overdose whilst staying at a hotel in Florida.
She left behind one lasting legacy in the form of her daughter Danielynn, who is now five-years-old.
The little girl is growing up fast, and is the spitting image of her mother, who was aged just 39 when she passed.

Danielynn was named after her half-brother Daniel, who passed away after collapsing in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas while visiting his newborn sister.
Her father Larry Birkhead, who was forced to establish paternity in a suit against Smith's then partner and lawyer Howard K. Stern.
He has since done a good job of making sure that the little girl who endured such tragedy around her during her first days on this planet, has a normal life.
