Demi's Birthday Suit, or The Suit, was a trompe-l'œil body painting by Joanne Gair photographed by Annie Leibovitz that was featured on the cover of the Vanity Fair August 1992 issue to commemorate and exploit the success of Leibovitz's More Demi Moore cover photo of Demi Moore one year earlier. As an example of modern body painting artwork, it raised the profile of Gair in pop culture as an artist in that genre.
The work is considered to be groundbreaking by some, although there is controversy surrounding its originality. The converse of this image serves as the cover to Gair's second bodypainting book, Body Painting. The photo shoot also let Moore show off the results of her fitness regimen.

And only through the faded leaf
The chestnut pattering to the ground:”
