It’s hard to believe that this stunning, gorgeous woman tried to take her own life a week after this shot was taken.

Wrapped around a purple fur coat, the French supermodel gazes seductively into the camera, her hair wild around her beautiful face as she posed for a sexy photo shoot

But just a week later, she was rushed to hospital after taking a drugs and alcohol overdose.

The M&S certainly looked the picture of health, her worries not clear to see, as she posed for the shot for this month’s V Magazine, as part of its ‘Sexy Body Issue’.

She was joined on the shoot by Japanese-American model Devon Aoki, 27, who posed in a green swimsuit.

Also on the shoot was Israeli model Bar Refaeli, 25, who wore little more than a bra and a string of pearls round her neck.

As it was for the magazine’s sexy issue, Bar, who is dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio, was quoted as saying: ‘ Why do people think I’m sexy? Maybe it’s the fact that I have boobs.’

The photos were taken by acclaimed photographer Arny Freytag, who is said to hold the record for photographing the most Playmate centerfolds in Playboy Magazine.
