Tisdale even brought her mother to her nude shoot. “I’ve always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do,” she says. “Even with my tattoos, my mom went with me. The ‘believe’ tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe.”

As for looking this great?

The High School Musical starlet does six workouts a week, rotating a boot-camp class, cardio, strength training, and Spinning, but taking it all off was actually much less about showing off her hard-earned shape than it was about growing up.

“I’m 25, almost 26, but people think of me as much younger because I look young,” she says. “Being in this shoot was me saying, ‘I’m not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I’m actually a woman.’”

Keri Hilson, 28, “The transition to being in front of the camera was very, very difficult,” she says. “Everyone has their idea of what you should look like.’ You need to get into the gym.’ ‘You need to wear less clothes.’ ‘Wear dresses and skirts.’ ‘Put a weave in.’ ‘Cut your hair.’ ‘Color your hair.’ There are so many ways that others tug at you.” To Hilson, posing naked stripped her back down to her real self. “We do a lot of things to seek validation: I have to get more expensive handbags or fake lashes or fake boobs. This shoot was about dropping all that.”

Cool so perhaps we should only have naked photoshoots from now on? Just kidding!
