But in a daring move for her upcoming single, Here's To Never Growing Up, Avril Lavigne has decided to shed her clothes.

On her left hand, Avril wore the giant 14-carat engagement ring given to her by her fiancé, Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger.

Even the cuddly toy has an edgy side with a black chained collar wrapped around its neck.
