Melania Trump's nude magazine shoot is a sight to see

It’s hard to believe the striking woman posing nude in the saucy photo below is Donald Trump’s wife, Melania Trump.

Before she was busy being the Republican candidate’s mrs, the Slovenian-born model posed nude for a French men’s magazine.

The steamy photo is of a 25-year-old Melania Knauss sporting high heels and nothing else on the cover of Max.

The Post got a hold of the rare images taken in Manhattan in 1995 photographed by French photographer Alé de Basse­ville.

“Melania was super-great and a fantastic personality and she was very kind with me,” de Basseville told The Post. “Melania seemed very comfortable with the whole thing, and she was very professional,” he added.

The sexy spread consisting of a series of front, back and side shot images, appeared in the 1996 issue of the now-defunct French mag, which aimed to celebrate the female body in all its glory.

“I think it is important to show the beauty and the freedom of the woman, and I am very proud of these pictures because they celebrate Melania’s beauty,” the photographer said.

When asked about the racy photos, Trump told The Post: “Melania was one of the most successful models and she did many photo shoots, including for covers and major magazines. This was a picture taken for a European magazine prior to my knowing Melania. In Europe, pictures like this are very fashionable and common.”

The presidential candidate met his stunning Eastern European wife in 1998 at a New York Fashion Week party, and in 2005, the pair sealed the deal at Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

It seems the Trump women aren’t afraid to let their hair down in the spotlight.

Mother-to-be and daughter of Melania, Ivanka Trump, recently did a spread for fashion mag Harper’s Bazaar, in which she recreated a famous 1970s shoot sporting bunny ears, a tight black dress and fishnet stockings while pregnant with her baby girl.

Earlier this year, an old and unusual image of Trump and his daughter resurfaced, featuring the duo perched atop two concrete parrots having sex. Certainly not your typical daddy daughter shoot that’s for sure.
