Although she is sporting plenty of skin, Karla revealed to E! that the magazine originally wanted her to pose naked as cover stars like Elsa Hosk and Hannah Davis had done in the past.
The 29-year-old added, “They wanted me in a bra and panties but I was like, ‘I don’t want to do the bra and panties on a bed thing,'” Souza said. “I wanted sophisticated, fancy, nice and beautiful and sexy, but not that. After a year, they were like, ‘OK!’ Luckily, they said yes to bathing suits and things I felt more comfortable in.”
