She soared to fame after stripping down to nothing for Pharrell's Blurred Lines music video.

The 24-year-old Gone Girl star sizzled in a stunning new shoot in which she showed off her bare bosom before chatting to ES Magazine about her strife in the working world.

Emily smouldered in the sexy new images in which she pulled her very best model poses while holding her hands aloft and exposing her sideboob. 

Donning a stunning sheer top with intricate piping alongside a bold overlay on the top, the model turned actress opted to go braless beneath - flashing her famed assets. 

Her make-up was flawlessly applied to add to the sultry nature of the image, with an alluring smokey eye created with soft brown and taupe shadow and a smudge of eyeliner. 

The British-born beauty, a self-professed feminist, then sizzled in an intimate up-close shot in which she allowed tendrils to tumble around her face while biting her finger seductively.

While Emily is a lover of sexy shoots and expressing her sexuality and femininity, she revealed in an accompanying interview to the images that this can cause a blockade in her career. 

She said: 'It’s an interesting paradox. If you’re a sexy actress it’s hard to get serious roles. You get offered the same thing they’ve seen you in. People are like sheep and they’re like "Oh, that’s what she does well". 

'What’s so dumb is that women are 50 per cent of the population and they want to spend money to see movies where they’re portrayed as three-dimensional characters.”

Snapping away: Avid social media fan Emily was also keen to discuss her 'brand' which has seen fans call her by her Instagram handle, 'Emrata' (pictured in a recent Instagram snap)

And Emily's troubles with her looks did not just begin when she entered the world of Hollywood and showbusiness - she reveals she has battled ever since she hit puberty in her pre-teen years. 

The brunette beauty said: 'I started to realise that I was being perceived differently. It was confusing. Basically it was more about the way that people had a problem with a girl looking like a woman because it confused them.

'It made them feel uncomfortable and I think there was a lot of guilt that they wanted to induce.'

With her stunning good looks, her mother Kathleen Balgley, an English professor and writer, was adamant she would not model as she did not want her only value to be placed on her appearance. 

A brand unto her own: Boasting an impressive 6.2million followers on the photosharing site and a further 740,000 Twitter followers, she revealed she has become known by the brand she unwittingly created

She adds: 'My mum said "no, she’ll be a brain surgeon," because she didn’t like the idea that I would think that (my appearance) was the only thing that I was going to be valued for.' 

Of her famed, and very nude, turn in the Blurred Lines video, Emily insists she stands by her naked antics and treats the widely-discussed video as art. 

The opinionated beauty said: 'Like any art, there’s a million ways to interpret it. All I can say is that when a woman is naked, that’s not immediately anti-feminist. I have no apologies for it, and I’m not ashamed at all.' 

Avid social media fan Emily was also keen to discuss her 'brand' which has seen fans call her by her Instagram handle, 'Emrata'. 

Boasting an impressive 6.2million followers on the photosharing site and a further 740,000 Twitter followers, she revealed she has become known by the brand she unwittingly created.

She adds: 'I didn’t necessarily intend it for myself, but it just happens with Instagram and Twitter; people come up to me and call me Emrata, they don’t call me Emily. 

'That’s my brand, my identity. (I will) using my public persona for good causes, continuing to be active politically. It sounds really clichéd, but just be true to who you are.”
