I remember there being an official Bloodrayne thing with Playboy. Actual art, not a model cosplaying.
Playboy attempted an unofficial use with a model dressed as Lara, but the rights holders were very against it at the time. https://ghostarchive.org/archive/0SUIL
The court yesterday stopped the magazine using the name Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider logo on the front cover of its August issue alongside nude pictures of model Nell McAndrew, claimed by Playboy to be the real-life incarnation of the character.
Mr Justice Lloyd rode in to save the virtue of the heroine by granting the company behind her an injunction ordering Playboy to apply stickers blanking out her name and the Tomb Raider logo from the cover of 20,000 copies.
The judge had been told by George Hamer, counsel for Tomb Raider trade mark owners Core Design Ltd, that Lara's "squeaky-clean image" would be "tarnished for all time" by any association with soft-core pornography.
