For the special cover, the 54-year-old showed off her impressively toned abs by wearing an impossibly short gray skirt paired with a matching ruffled bra and pointy-toed moccasins.
Though the award-winning actress certainly looked incredible and proved she doesn't age, some fans weren't convinced with the look, and it sparked a heated debate in the comments.
Nicole's sultry cover photo
"Not a fan of this look," a follower commented, while another rooted for Nicole, saying: "Haters are gonna hate! Nicole is looking amazing!" Others called the styling both "confusing" as well as "surprising."
The stunning – albeit controversial – photo features the star in the school-girl-type outfit holding open two yellow metal gates. The kitschy setting for the photoshoot depicts a luscious garden full of bright colors with a nostalgic, cartoonish feel.

Nicole's pose by an entryway is meant to represent how she "has held the keys to Hollywood for decades."

Being the Ricardos, which is available on Amazon Prime, has sparked nominations for Nicole for Best Actress, Javier Bardem, who plays Lucille's husband Desi Arnaz, for Best Actor, and JK Simmons, who played William Frawley, for Best Supporting Actor.
