Emma Roberts models Aerie, no retouching allowed

Former Glee co-stars Lea Michele and Becca Tobin show up to support their pal Emma Roberts at the Aerie dinner on Friday (August 21) in Los Angeles. Not just anyone would be willing to strip down to their underwear in such a situation, but Emma’s totally embracing it: “real doesn’t mean flawed – real is sexy, real is cool”.

Roberts is starring in the upcoming series Scream Queens, debuting on September 22, created by her American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy.

‘I definitely have a complex about being pale because I’ve been made fun of my whole life, so I was nervous about that, ‘ she told People.

Emma Roberts is the latest celebrity to say no to Photoshop.

‘When I was a kid, everyone would be like, “Your legs are so pale!” Emma completes her comfy look with a long ombré sweater and her hair styled straight.

While the 24-year-old said she had “a lot of confidence” before the shoot, she admitted that when she walked on set in her undergarments, she “got instantly so embarrassed”.

Sloth’s ugly sister hopes this campaign will give young women some perspective.

‘But I saw the photos and was like, you know what?

“It’s refreshing to step out of the screen and celebrate what makes you, you”, she said.

In one photo, the blonde beauty shows off her bod wearing baby blue booty shorts and a matching bra.

Roberts was saying that with this ad, she wants girls to feel like they can be comfortable in their own skin. “I guess it hurts my feelings, so I try not to read that stuff”. I want to promote the idea that it’s okay to look like yourself – you don’t have to Photoshop your Instagrams!’ Instead, when girls see this shoot of Emma with ideal makeup and lighting, they’ll think to themselves, “If this lumpy piece of shit can make it in Hollywood, I might just be alright”.
