Playgirl has always been about attractive men showing skin, but gay stars deserve far more space in its pages. Orville Peck proved that a queer male singer can turn a revealing shoot into a major moment. Plenty of today’s gay musicians already mix sex appeal, fashion, and provocative imagery. Some of them would look completely at home posing naked or nearly naked for a bold NSFW spread.
Orville Peck
Orville Peck already gave Playgirl exactly what works and he’s the only one on the list we don’t have to imagine. The mask, exposed body, and carefully hidden nudity created instant tension. His photos proved that mystery can be just as sexy as full frontal exposure.
Olly Alexander
Olly Alexander has already shown plenty of bare skin in fashion campaigns. His slim body and fearless style could easily carry a provocative Playgirl shoot.
Troye Sivan
Troye Sivan regularly mixes pop music with queer sex, club culture, and erotic visuals. A nude centerfold would feel natural for his image.
Lil Nas X
Lil Nas X rarely avoids controversy or sexual imagery. A naked shoot could give fans another unapologetic look at his body.
Ricky Martin
Ricky Martin still has the chest, abs, and confidence that made him a sex symbol. He could deliver serious daddy energy.
Omar Apollo
Omar Apollo has already gone full frontal on screen. That makes an explicit Playgirl spread feel less shocking and much more possible.
Mika
Mika usually relies on flamboyant fashion and theatrical performances. Seeing him shirtless or stripped down would reveal a very different side.
Vincint
Vincint has the muscles, presence, and confidence needed for a strong NSFW feature. He could easily own a sexy centerfold.
Adam Lambert
Adam Lambert has spent years combining glam, leather, and sexual expression. A bare-ass or nude shoot would suit his fearless public image.
Tedy
Tedy could bring welcome body diversity to the magazine. A confident plus-size shoot could be just as hot as any ripped celebrity spread.
