Victoria Monét Brings the Smoke on Provocative Playboy Cover Promoting ‘Jaguar II’ Deluxe Edition

Victoria Monét went seriously retro for a promotional shoot in support of the new expanded edition of her Grammy winning debut studio album, 2023’s Jaguar II. The singer posted a series of pics from her Playboy magazine shoot over the weekend, including a modest cover in which she is seen kneeling on a long table in a sparkly green dress with matching gauzy elbow-length gloves and a towering blonde bouffant hairdo.

Other pics in the series the singer posted included a close-up of the her face alongside the teases for the stories on the inside: “Taking you through A-sides, B-sides and all the way inside,” “Queen of the Jungle: Big dreams an a discography to match” and “a provocative interview with the jungle’s self-proclaimed ‘Dickmatizer.'”

A third snap found Monét on all fours on the gilded desk wearing clear stripper heels and the same green dress while posing under a glittering chandelier. The caption for the pics reads “Hi @playboy,” while the comments from some fellow stars gave the “Oh My Mama” star props for posing in the classic gentleman’s mag.

“GIRL,” Taraji P. Henson wrote along with three ice cold emoji, while singer JoJo added, “Literally KNOW THAS RIGHT [heart eye emoji],” Andra Day said, “MA’aM! It’s all everything,” SZA quipped, “SHES COOKING W GASOLINE,” Lauran Jauregui posted heart eyes and fire emoji, the magazine gave their cover star three black heart emoji and Saweetie could only gasp, “W00000W.”

The expanded edition of the album adds 10 new tracks, including “DickAtNight,” “SOS (Sex on Sight)” featuring Usher, “1900’s,” “Love Is Stronger Than Pride,” “Everybody Needs Someone,” We Might Even Be Falling In Love” featuring Bryson Tiller, “The Greatest” and the “2SEXY” interlude and “The Greatest (Lovenotes)” outro.

In September, Monét took home the Hitmaker award at Billboard‘s first-ever R&B No. 1s party at The Box in New York after her Grammy-nominated hit “Oh My Mama” topped the Adult R&B Airplay, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts over the past year.
