Hilary Duff Bares Her Amazing Abs for 'Shape' Magazine Cover

Hilary Duff looks absolutely amazing while showing off her body for the cover of Shape magazine’s May 2015 issue, on newsstands April 28.

Here is what the 27-year-old Younger actress had to share with the mag:

On feeling the pressure to be perfect: “There’s so much pressure to always have it together, and I’m not falling for it. You see supermodels who have babies, and the next week they look as if they were never pregnant. That was not the case with me. Some days I feel great, others I feel pretty normal, and that’s acceptable.”

On why she’s loving her new role on Younger: “I embrace the mess. I had to be careful not to screw up in public as a child actor. So on my new show, Younger�”which is written by Darren Star, who created Sex and the City�”it’s really fun for me to play Kelsey, a 27-year-old book editor whose personal life is a hot mess. She always chooses the wrong guy, drinks way too much, and has to cover for herself the next morning.”

On her no-fail weight-loss strategy: “I love my wine, but when I’m really trying to lose weight, that’s got to go. Alcohol is a trigger to make bad choices, just like when I get too hungry.”
