LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

She might be known for dressing up a room, but long before her days as a judge on BRAVO’s “Top Design,” Kelly Wearstler was busy dressing down – to nothing.

Wearstler once bared all for Playboy in September 1994, and was even crowned Playboy’s Playmate of the Month as Miss September.

The now-40-year-old posed under the name Kelly Gallagher.

A prominent interior designer, besides her gig on “Top Design,” Wearstler is also recognized for her work on several California hotspot hotels, including the Viceroy in Santa Monica and the Avalon in Beverly Hills.

Wearstler, who runs her own interior design firm, House of KWID (Kelly Wearstler Interior Design), is also currently working on hotel projects in “Miami, Anguilla, Mexico’s Riviera Maya and Vietnam,” according to her bio on the “Top Design” Web site.

Her sense of style also extends to her personal fashion, as Wearstler was named one of Vogue’s best dressed for 2007.

When contacted by Access Hollywood, a Bravo spokesperson would not say if the show was aware of Wearstler’s racy photo spread.

“We do not comment on the personal lives of our talent,” the spokesperson said.
