Rihanna may have told PEOPLE last month that she'd feel better about her slimmed-down figure if she had her butt back, but that hasn't stopped the Barbadian beauty from stripping down with ease.In fact, the act of baring it all is what helped her gain confidence in the first place.
"The more I got naked, the more comfortable I felt," Rihanna, 24, tells Britain's Women's Fitness magazine. "I just had to face my fear. You always find something wrong, you always find something you’re uncomfortable with, and one thing turns into another and you get embarrassed and self-conscious about it."
Following some early-on insecurity, the pop star explains, "After a while, it was like, 'What’s the worst that can happen?' I just started being a little more daring with it. It was just knowing my body … is what it is under clothes or outside of clothes."
Although shedding her attire on a regular basis has had a beneficial outcome for the image she's trying to convey, Rihanna admits, "My way probably won't work for most people."
