'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.''
Pop on a printed blouse like Chrissy Teigen
She's Elle Australia's latest cover girl, and Chrissy Teigen looked gorgeous on the front page in a Hermès printed blouse and high-waisted bikini bottoms by Matteau Swim.
The silk top was pulled from the French brand's Resort 2017 collection and featured an equestrian themed print - a signature look for the label.
It's not too often that you see such a luxe top paired with bikini briefs so instead we'd team it with a pencil skirt and pumps for the office or straight leg jeans and loafers for an afternoon brunch with friends.

'I love having every right to be as outspoken as I am, as any man would be,' said the brave brunette.
The beauty also opened up about the struggles of motherhood, saying she 'didn’t know how tough it would be' and that it is still 'all-encompassing', even with the help of her mother and a nanny.
