Playboy features first ever transgender Playmate

Ines Rau is the Playmate of the month for November 2017, making the French model the first transgender woman to appear in the magazine's centerfold

Rau, 26, bares her breasts in the 8-page spread and for the centerfold is completely naked except for a pair of red velvet heels as she lies on the ground

She began transitioning when she was 16 and had gender reassignment surgery soon after

'I lived a long time without saying I was transgender. I dated a lot and almost forgot. I was scared of never finding a boyfriend,' said Rau of coming out

Rau has previously walked the runway for the likes of Balmain and Hood by Air and recently shot a video for 'Vogue' 

This is not her first time in 'Playboy' however, with Rau previously appearing nude in a 2014 spread shot by Ryan McGinley
