For this year's March issue of Vanity Fair, Jennifer Lawrence gamely posed nude with only a boa constrictor wrapped around her body. 

The new Vanity Fair photo of the 24-year old who simply wore nothing but the snake is guaranteed to be the hottest thing that will hit magazine stands in a few weeks.

The gorgeous shot was taken by French fashion photographer, Patrick Demarchelier as a homage to the 1981 Richard Avedon Vogue portrait of German model-turned-actress, Nastassja Kinski. Patrick is one of the world's most famous photographers and is best known for his frank portraiture. The photo of the Oscar-winning actress was actually part of her cover shoot for the magazine in November 2014, but ended up being shelved.

Vanity Fair's fashion and style director Jessica Diehl said,  "Jennifer has the perfect combination of strength, sexuality, and humor, and, above all, tomboy to pull this off."

While "The Hunger Games" actress looked extremely gorgeous in the shot, the magazine revealed that she did have a scary moment as well.

During the course of the photo shoot, the Colombian red-tailed boa constrictor "took a fancy to her neck" and because that frightened the star, Vanity Fair's West Coast editor, Krista Smith added, "the shoot was over and Mr. Boa went back into his box."

The amazing shot of Jennifer will appear in the March 2015 issue of Vanity Fair.
