Lily-Rose Depp is busy shooting her new movie Playmates in Los Angeles, after signing up for the anticipated movie from Jack Nicholson's director daughter.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis' daughter is playing Anna, one of seven models vying to become the Playmate of the Month, in the upcoming coming-of-age drama.
Lily-Rose, 27, slipped into a leather top and tiny denim hotpants to shoot scenes at Trashy Lingerie in LA this week.
The movie is written and directed by Lorraine Nicholson who has tapped into her childhood tales as the daughter of Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson to make her feature directorial debut.
As a child, Lorraine made frequent visits to Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion with her dad Jack and her model mother Rebecca Broussard during one of Playboy's peak eras.
Playmates is based on her experience and sees rising star Indiana Elle, who recently played Amanda Seyfried's daughter in The Housemaid, play a part inspired by Lorraine.

Indiana's 13-year-old character meets Lily-Rose's Anna during a visit to the mansion and the two strike up an unlikely friendship.
Bill Pullman has also joined the cast to play Playboy founder Hugh Hefner whilst Jessica Biel will play a fictionalised version of Hefner's wife and a former playmate.
Hefner had been married on three occasions: to Millie Williams between 1949 and 1959; to Kimberley Conrad between 1989 and 2010; and to Crystal Harris from 2012 until his death at 91 in 2017.
Harris publicly shared an Instagram message she had sent to Biel last month urging her to reconsider the role.
During an appearance on Firerose's No One Asked Her podcast in August, Harris said: 'I think I was absolutely brainwashed.
'Hef was old enough to be my grandfather. We [had a] 60-years difference. In the interviews I'd say, "Oh, you know, he's like a kid! He likes to have fun",' she shared, then asked herself, 'Why did I say that?'
Harris strongly believes the film Playmates is a mistake if it intends to romanticise Hefner and the Playboy world.

Harris urged Biel to 'please reconsider' her role in Playmates, citing her own experiences of abuse in her marriage, and emphasised the point by sharing a screenshot of the direct message she had sent The Sinner actress.
Earlier this year, Lorraine told W magazine that she was excited to explore her unusual childhood experiences in the movie.
She recalled that the mansion 'was such a place of innocence, paradoxically. I was regularly swimming in the grotto. I didn't know that the place had this other side by night.'
The film is the latest in a string of projects for Lily-Rose. She most recently starred in Nosferatu whilst her new movie Werwulf, which opens Christmas Day.
She has completed filming on sci-fi comedy Alpha Gang, which made its recent debut at Telluride and Toronto International Film Festival.
