Bruce Jenner's new look after completing his gender transition has been revealed -- and so has his new female name.

Vanity Fair has released its July issue's cover photo of Jenner, who underwent a breast augmentation as well as a 10-hour facial-feminization surgery on March 15, dressed as a woman with the picture captioned "Call Me Caitlyn."

Caitlyn, with subtle makeup and her long curly hair flowing, is shown wearing a tight ivory one-piece corseted lingerie ensemble.

In a promotional clip for the Vanity Fair issue -- which will feature a 22-page story about Caitlyn and include photos taken by the famous Annie Leibovitz -- Caitlyn discussed what that two-day photo shoot meant to her.

"This shoot was about my life and who I am as a person. It's not about the fanfare, it's not about people cheering in the stadium. It's not about going down the street and everyone giving me a, 'That a boy, Bruce' pat on the back. This is about [my] life," Caitlyn was shown saying.

"Bruce always had to tell a lie. He was always living that lie. Every day he always had a secret from morning till night. Caitlyn doesn't have any secrets. As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I'm free."

The Vanity Fair issue hits newsstands on June 9, but until then, the magazine has teased a little bit of Caitlyn's interview.

Caitlyn said she suffered a panic attack after waking up from surgery although she did not undergo genital surgery.

She thought, "What did I just do? What did I just do to myself?"

A counselor apparently attended to Caitlyn and assured her that what she was feeling was normal and possibly due to all the pain medication. The counselor insisted second-guessing was a typical reaction to such life-changing events.

Jenner told Vanity Fair's contributing editor Buzz Bissinger, "If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, 'You just blew your entire life. You never dealt with yourself,' and I don't want that to happen."

The interview took place over the course of three months and Bissinger got to know both Jenner and Caitlyn on a personal level. Caitlyn said she's not "hung up" on pronoun confusion because even she still calls herself Bruce at times by accident.

Bissinger also interviewed the Jenner children -- including Burt, 36, Cassandra, 34, Brandon, 33, and Brody, 31.

"I have high hopes that Caitlyn is a better person than Bruce. I'm very much looking forward to that," Burt said, referencing how Bruce had been absent in his life for years at a time.

The children continue to give their father support by expressing how happy they are to meet Caitlyn and how brave Bruce has been to follow through with this. However, it can't be an easy process, as Brandon got a little weirded out when Caitlyn showed him her new breasts.

"Whoa, I'm still your son," he reminded her.

To help Caitlyn adjust to her new life as a woman, she starting hosting "girls' nights" with friends where she could drink wine and act like herself. Cassandra was introduced to Caitlyn for the first time in that atmosphere.

"I was just nervous that I wouldn't make her feel comfortable," Cassandra told Bissinger. "I was worried I wouldn't say the right things or act the right way or seem relaxed. [But] we talked more than we ever have. We could just be girls together."

According to Vanity Fair, the Jenner children still refused to be filmed for Caitlyn's upcoming docu-reality series on E!, which will premiere this summer.

Initially, Caitlyn was "terribly disappointed and terribly hurt," but she has since come to accept their decision.

Caitlyn is well aware some people will criticize her transformation as a publicity stunt yet she's not at all worried.

"Oh, 'She's doing a stupid reality show. She's doing it for the money. She's doing this, she's doing that.' I'm not doing it for money. I'm doing it to help my soul and help other people. If I can make a dollar, I certainly am not stupid. [I have] house payments and all that kind of stuff," Caitlyn explained to the magazine.

"I will never make an excuse for something like that. Yeah, this is a business. You don't go out and change your gender for a television show. Okay, it ain't happening. I don't care who you are."

Shortly after Vanity Fair's cover photo hit the Internet, an official Twitter page for Caitlyn Jenner was created.

The description reads: "I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can't wait for you to get to know her/me."
