'I always felt like a bit of a tomboy': Chrissy Teigen didn't feel sexy until AFTER she had a baby
Most mothers pine for their pre-baby figures.
But Chrissy Teigen insists her body only got sexy after she gave birth.
'I always felt like a bit of a tomboy, and I never looked at my body as particularly sexual — I wasn’t a curvy girl,' the 31-year-old told Elle Australia.

But that all changed in April of this year, when the 31-year-old welcomed baby Luna into the world.
'But to be able to see my body afterwards, and of course you get, like, hips,' she said. 'Finally, for the first time, I feel like I have a bit more of a womanly figure … I think you just feel really feminine.'
The model, who is married to singer John Legend, said that she would 'much rather shoot completely naked than in a swimsuit'.
'It’s just always been my thing. I’ve never been much of a beach girl,' she continued.

'So it’s out of my comfort zone, and it’s the craziest thing that I’m probably most known for Sports Illustrated, when that’s how I feel the most uncomfortable.'
Proving just how sexy the star is when she does feel comfortable, the model showed off her pyjamas on Tuesday night - some McDonald's Big Mac printed sleepwear.
In the same interview, the Lip Sync Battle host claimed men have a misunderstanding about what feminism really is.
'It’s about equality, of course, but people see it as being bigger than it is,' said the former Sports Illustrated star.
She continued: 'I think some men are scared of feminists because they think they’re trying to prevail in a way, whereas I’m like, 'That’s not what equality is.''
The TV host also stated that she loves that feminism allows her to be outspoken.

'I love having every right to be as outspoken as I am, as any man would be,' said the brave brunette.
