Maria Menounos, Debra Messing, Leslie Bibb, Taraji P. Henson, and Morena Baccarin stripped down for the Allure shoot, wearing nothing but just a few strands of diamonds. They opened up in the magazine about their body insecurities and how they prepared for the nude photo shoot.
Here are a few revealing highlights from the shoot:
Maria Menounos on her fear of pregnancy and what it would do to her body:
“I have some serious issues here, but I want to get over that.”
Debra Messing on loving her body after children:
“Once you have a child, once you pass 40, you have a different relationship with your body. I love my body in a way I never have before.”
Leslie Bibb on her 4-day juice cleanse to prep for the shoot:
“It was an angry four days. Sam [Rockwell, her boyfriend] was like, ‘Thank God I’m not with you right now. You are not nice on the juice cleanse.'”
Taraji P. Henson on not being afraid to get naked:
“My friends won’t be surprised by this shoot. Whenever we go to the beach, I’m like, ‘Is this a nude beach? Can I take my top off?'”
Morena Baccarin on her laid-back, but cautious attitude towards the body
“I don’t do any naked activities except for the obvious ones. No cooking naked. That’s dangerous.”
