Britney Spears bares her bum in multiple nude photos

Britney Spears has bared all in new photographs posing fully nude.

The Toxic hitmaker, 42, has developed a form for sharing explicit photographs to Instagram, sometimes with just a specifically-placed emoji protecting her modesty.

But in newly-shared snaps, the Piece Of Me star went emoji-less — and pantless, and topless — for a naked photoshoot at the beach.

On Monday night, Britney, who last year released headline-grabbing memoir The Woman In Me, shared three posts to Instagram, fully baring her bum in each one.

Two snaps, identical except one is in black and white, show Britney with her hands over her breasts, while in the third she brings her hands towards her face, covering herself with her elbows.

The musician smiles into the camera for the shots, her blonde hair loose around her face, while the shadow of the photographer can also be seen in the frame.

It’s not clear when the photos were taken, as Britney shared a similar snap at the beginning of the year, and she didn’t go into detail in the captions, choosing instead to post a flower emoji.

However right before the nude shots, Britney posted a video of herself joking she was washing her face like a cat, as she licked her finger and rubbed under her eyes.

‘I’m so lazy I didn’t get up to wash my face or even consider looking up the next best thing. I took matters into my own hand and just like a cat… I licked my paws 🐾 and smoothed my face back with my fingers… okay so when I went inside I rinsed,’ she wrote.

She added to her caption: ‘Be with people who know exactly what your truth is… not only do they have your back, they make you look soooooooo beautiful.’

Britney’s new posts come after she slammed speculation she would be releasing a new album as ‘trash,’ insisting she is not planning to record new music – ever.

She wrote on Instagram alongside famous Italian Renaissance painting Salome Bearing the Head of St. John the Baptist: ‘Just so we’re clear most of the news is trash !!! They keep saying I’m turning to random people to do a new album … I will never return to the music industry !!!’

2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the icon bursting onto the music scene, after she first released her debut album …Baby One More Time in 1999, however Britney fans hoping for a return to the stage or the charts to mark the anniversary look set to be disappointed on that front.
