Maite Perroni can play sweet, but she can also be sexy.

The Mexican singer and actress is on the cover of GQ Mexico's May issue. The interview has yet to be released, but a 30-second teaser video is very telling of what to expect in terms of pictures.

She wears several bathing suits. The cover image features her in a blue bikini, with her hair in waves. She also wears a colorblocked one piece suit that is paired with chunky-heeled gingham shoes. She goes for a dip in a pool in an orange suit and later a yellow bathing suit.

It seems the shoot had a summery theme. The issue will hit newsstands on April 28, which is just before her new show, "La Gata," premieres.

Perroni has been hard at work on the set of her new show since Feb. 10.

She has been shooting promos and the opening credits, all of which give a small taste of what the telenovela will include. Most of the telling scenes show that though she and a man from a different world have fallen in love, people will be opposed to it.

She will play a character named Esmeralda, who goes by La Gata.

Esmeralda comes from very humble beginnings, and she is offered the chance to improve her life.

Perroni is glad she's got the chance to portray this character.

"I'm very happy," she said to El Mañana. "I think 'La Gata' is a project that allows me to develop in the areas I most like, music and acting. With this novela, I'm super happy that it's a story that moves me very much and each episode that I see makes me excited, and it has a good rhythm. We are telling a very real story."
