Playboy is maybe the most controversial magazine ever published, racking up scandal after scandal since Hugh Hefner founded it in 1953.
But earlier this month the magazine made perhaps its most controversial decision so far - ditching nude images from its pages and reinventing itself as a lifestyle magazine for men.
On February 12th, social media star Sarah McDaniel (below) became the first model to make the Playboy cover without stripping naked.

It was not the brainchild of editor-in-chief Hefner, but he agreed to the move that would change Playboy forever.
But with the magazine heading in a new non-nude direction, could this signal the end of years of controversy for the magazine?
The Controversial Covers
While Sarah was only too happy to be the first non-nude star in Playboy - even admitting she would consider going naked if required - one of the biggest cover controversies is about a star who didn’t even want to be on the front of the magazine.
Step forward Jessica Alba. The actress was chosen as the publication’s Sex Star of the Year for their March 2006 issue (above), but didn’t fancy being on the cover, so Playboy used a bikini-clad pic of her from one of her Into the Blue movie promotional posters.
