While Pamela Anderson will be gracing the cover of the final nude issue of Playboy magazine, Kristy Garett has been named the final nude playmate to pose for the centerfold within the historic issue.

Garett, who will be named the magazine's Miss February 2016, will be the 749th Playmate with a 12-page pictorial. "I'm so happy," the 26-year-old model told New York Daily News. "It's such a big deal. It's so iconic. Being the last nude Playmate makes me cry and feel happy inside."

Back in October, Playboy announced that it would be doing a top-to-bottom redesign, so the January/February issue will be the last to feature nude women. They will return in March with a new design featuring "sexy, seductive pictorials of the world's most beautiful women," while still including the monthly Playmates - only from now on, they will be clothed.

"I know what I'm doing, and I know that I'm lucky," she continued to say. "Do you believe in miracles? This is a miracle...I was so proud to do Playboy. This is history. It's probably going to change my life."

"Playboy has a classic American story, and I want to be a part of it," she told People. "the lifestyle here, where you're free to express yourself, is my type of life. I am proud of the woman I am and have always dreamed of being talked about because of that."

Playboy editorial director Jason Buhrmester could not be happier with the decision to choose Garett for the final nude centerfold. "I think she really represents where the Playmate evolved over the past 60 years," he told New York Daily News of the Russian native. "She's international, she's a model, but she still looks approachable."

The issue hits newsstands Friday, Dec. 11.
