VH1.com has compiled a list of the most amazing magazine covers from recent years featuring actors, models, music legends and more in the buff. We already brought you numbers 50 to 26 -- now here's a look at the top 25.

In the following pages we bring you a look at the top 25 from the '50 Sexiest Celebrity Nude Magazine Covers Of All Time', compiled by website VH1.com. Here's a look at the stripped-down stars including Gisele Bundchen, Rihanna, JLo and more!

25. Jessica Simpson

The blonde bombshell makes like she's shaving her face in a recreation of an iconic 1965 Esquire cover that featured Italian actress Virna Lisi. Unlike Lisi, however, Jessica's 2008 cover saw her go topless.

While the British actress wasn't exactly nude for this Allure photoshoot, her outfit didn't exactly leave much to the imagination, which is why she made it to 22 on the list.

This 2010 Rolling Stone cover featuring co-stars Alexander Skarsgard, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer is so risque, we had to censor it, but it made VH1's list at 19.

18. Karrueche Tran

In at 12 we have the petite singer with the giant voice -- before she decided to ditch the diet and embrace a (much) curvier body. This classic black and white shot will always remind us of Xtina's once-fab figure.

11. Cindy Crawford

Whittling it down to the top five, we come to Jen's eye-popping GQ spread from 2009. Save for that tiny tie, her amazing athletic figure was revealed in all its glory.

4. Janet Jackson

This Rolling Stone edition is 20 years old, but it's still too steamy to be featured in its entirety. Janet had no qualms about having a man's hands take the place of her -- er -- innerwear!

3. Serena Williams
