Get ready to see Debra Messing, Maria Menounos, Taraji P. Henson, Leslie Bibb, and Morena Baccarin like you’ve never seen them before — completely nude! The gorgeous stars all posed in the buff for Allure‘s annual celebrity nudes portfolio, which also features Heidi Klum topless on the May cover.

“Smash” actress Messing, who lies seductively on a messy bed for the black-and-white shoot with famed photographer Patrick Demarchelier, daring to bear it all at the age of 43 was a no-brainer. “Once you have a child, once you pass 40, you have a different relationship with your body,” she tells the magazine. “I love my body in a way I never have before,” especially “my shoulders, clavicle, and chest. I started out in dance — there’s something beautiful about a dancer’s upper body. I love strapless dresses.”

“Dancing With the Stars” contestant Menounos is certainly no stranger to showing some skin. Before she was doing it for the ABC competition, the Extra host, 33, was donning skimpy bathing suits onstage as a teen beauty queen — but she wasn’t necessarily earning high scores from the judges. “I was hippy and I didn’t diet for contests,” she tells Allure, adding, “And it didn’t bother me.” Still, Menounos admits that the idea of getting pregnant and gaining weight scares her. “I have some serious issues here,” she admitted. “But I want to get over that.” Clearly. For the Allure photo shoot, she lied down backside-up. “This was definitely challenging, but I feel so much better having done it.”

“Person of Interest” actress Henson says she has little modesty. “My friends won’t be surprised by this shoot,” the 41-year-old tells Allure. “Whenever we go to the beach, I’m like, ‘Is this a nude beach? Can I take my top off?'” So it’s only natural that when she’s at home in her New York City apartment — with no curtains on her floor-to-ceiling windows — Henson often walks around in the buff. “I know some idiot has a telescope, so I always wave,” she adds. “He’s going to be pissed when I move.”

Heidi Klum Takes it Off for Allure Magazine Plus Her Best Nude Photos

Heidi Klum has never had a problem posing nude and she’s taken off her clothes yet again, this time for the 2012 May issue of Allure magazine. In the black-and-white photo, she has one arm crossed over her chest and her other hand is strategically placed over her lady parts. Her hair is wind blown and the only accessory she’s sporting is a chunky bracelet. She’s done several covers, ads and pictorials while in the buff, but which have been some of her best?

Nude in cake

In the December 2002 issue of Italian GQ magazine, the blonde posed nude while standing inside a cake. On the cover, she has blobs of icing over her breasts and a lump of icing on her thigh while she’s wearing a white bikini bottom and standing inside a cake. In the pictorial where she’s standing inside the same cake , she has blobs of icing on her back and on her derriere along with some on her finger and a dab on her nose. She’s also sporting a huge smile – and who could blame her? Everyone loves cake.

Nude in heels

In 2007, the then 34-year-old posed for Arena magazine wearing not much more than heels. For the cover, she’s wearing a white bathing suit and kneeling in the grass, but for the pictorial, that bathing suit apparently disappeared. In one photo she’s laying down while wearing a pair of heels as she has a pillow in between her legs. In another photo, she’s wearing a white mesh top while her hair is strategically covering her breasts. In the last photo, she’s sitting down while wearing a pair of heels with her derriere facing the camera.

Body painting pictures

In 2006, the beauty modeled for a series of pinup inspired pictures by photographer Joanne Gair where Heidi is wearing nothing but body paint done in the style of bathing suits. From her retro hair to the perfection of the body painting, she looks absolutely stunning.

The model was brought up with an easy going attitude about nudity. In a 2010 interview, she stated “I think it’s because I grew up in a very easy-going family where my parents were always naked. My parents are still naked. I mean, it’s not like we’re hippies, but if they happened to be in their room changing or something or someone comes out of the shower, they’re not, like, ‘Oh my God. No. Close the door’.”
