Hilary Duff is totally buff in a For Love and Lemons Luna crop top! Even after post baby, she's been working out and it shows in her photoshoot with Shape Magazine.

The brand has been heavily photographed on the Kardashians and lots of it-girls. The collection is defined by a sweet, girlish playfulness but the serious skin shown by these pieces give off a sexy, grown-up edge. Bodacious bods are a must to rock these belly, back, side boob baring designs. But you'll be turning heads for sure in this.

With summer here and everyone sweating it out at the gym, show off your assets in this. Style the top with low hip hugging cut offs or if you've been a little lazy with those crunches, go for a high waisted skirt to hide any imperfections.

Head over to Shopbop to pick up this sexy crop or if it's a little bit too expensive we found a super similar almost splitting image of it in white from ChicNova.

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT FOR LESS

The body confident star told the magazine that even she struggled to not feel pressured.

Hilary said: 'There's so much pressure to always have it together, and I'm not falling for it.

'You see supermodels who have babies, and the next week they look as if they were never pregnant. That was not the case with me.'

Hard work: The 27-year-old may be looking great but wanted other moms to know that her figure was thanks to a lot of excise and for them not to feel pressured by model mothers who just seem to bounce back easily

Mixing it up: The star said she does not just mindlessly go to the gym each day, instead three days a week she tries different workouts involving weighted balls, battle ropes and even a huge hammer

But the mother of one - Luca, three - said she is learning to not be so hard on herself.

'Some days I feel great, others I feel pretty normal, and that's acceptable.'

But while she may have her up and down days, the Younger actress is certainly looking very good at the moment.

Wearing a cropped lace For The Love Of Lemons top with low slung jeans, Hilary showed off her enviable midsection.

Saucy staple: The star got to wear her fashion favourite, denim, and be a little sexy wearing a denim Guess Moto Zip Up Corset

Of her workout regime she said: 'I don't do auto-gym. I go three times a week and mix it up every time.

'I work out with weighted balls, battle ropes, and big rubber bands. I do this thing with a sledgehammer where I swing it and hit a rubber block, and it gets out all of my aggression. Everyone is like, ''Uh-oh, Hilary's got the hammer - get out of the way!'''

Hilary also shapes up on a daily basis by carrying her 35-pound three-year-old tot all around town.

Just being me: But the mother-of-one said she is learning to not be so hard on herself, 'Some days I feel great, others I feel pretty normal, and that's acceptable'

No diets: The actress said she avoids dieting, saying she'd rather have her fingernails pulled out then restrict herself when it comes to food

'The other day we went to Disneyland and he fell asleep in my arms, and I had to carry him back to my car, which was a 30-minute walk. I was dying,' the Elixer author explained.

Dispite her impressive physique - which she showed off in a myriad of different looks - the star says she does not diet.

'I rely on grown-woman food.

Out now: Hilary's interview appears in the May issue of Shape

'I’d rather have someone pull my fingernails off than hunker down and go on an actual diet. It’s so hard for me!

'My sister Haylie and I once considered doing a baby-food diet, but it just sounded too disgusting.

And that 'grown-woman food' includes having some cheese handy at all times.

'The key to a happy life is cheese. It’s a real problem. I can’t say no to it! There’s a cheese shop in Beverly Hills, and my car is like a magnet to it. Luca is crazy about it, too. Love the cheese.'

But her absolute favourite snack is pretty healthy, a 'Wasa cracker topped with avocado, radish, chica seeds, a little olive oil, some sea salt, lemon, and dill.'

Talking about her eating preferences, Hilary revealed she roasts all her vegetables with olive oil, as steamed veggies 'bore' her.

But it is not just her figure which has changed, the actress also spoke about how she is trying to leave her squeaky clean child star image behind her too.

'I embrace the mess. I had to be careful not to screw up in public as a child actor.

'So on my new show, Younger - which is written by Darren Star, who created Sex And The City - it’s really fun for me to play Kelsey, a 27-year-old book editor whose personal life is a hot mess. She always chooses the wrong guy, drinks way too much, and has to cover for herself the next morning.'

For the cover of the magazine, the beauty is glowing in a patterned push-up ruffled bikini top and tiny cut-off denim shorts.

Inside the magazine, the star had a chance to indulge her passion for her favourite fashion staple - denim.

Hilary got to wear her beloved material and be a little sexy in one shot, wearing a denim Guess Moto Zip Up Corset.
