Jesy's shoot for the magazine showed her at her edgy best, with the ice side of the imagery featuring the star with bleached tresses and brows.
She wore stacks of pearls and jewellery and gazed seductively into the camera while resting her hand on her cleavage in cheeky style.
The fire side of the shoot meanwhile saw a dark haired Jesy pose with her arms outstretched and her eyes scorched out for a sizzling snap.
Jesy commanded the music charts with bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards for nine years after finding fame on X Factor, before she left the group for the sake of her mental health.

In December, she confirmed her permanent departure, just weeks after revealing she was taking a temporary hiatus from all work commitments.
After much speculation she teased her first solo single earlier this year and is now on the cusp of releasing the BOYZ, much to fans' delight.
Jesy said of her new music: 'As an artist, I want to stay authentic to myself. I don't ever want to be given a song just because it's a hit. I want my songs to genuinely come from me as fans can tell when a song has and when it hasn't...
'That's what a true artist is, when you really are authentic to yourself and tell your own stories, To be able to tell my truth and stories that people have never heard before is really nice and quite refreshing. It's like therapy for me'.

On her new single BOYZ, she went on: 'I wanted to come back with a song where people are like 'OKAY!'. You're either going to love it or you're going to hate it and I would rather that than people be like, 'meh, okay...'
