She's always been seen as a bit of a sex symbol.

But in a new glamorous photoshoot, Jessica Alba says she used to feel shy in dresses and high heels and only started to feel more adventurous sexy since becoming a mother.

The 30-year-old showed off her incredibly tiny waist just months after giving birth to her second daughter.

In one pose, for the LA Confidential magazine, the Fantastic Four actress can be seen sitting on a TV, wearing a tiny crop top and a skirt, with yellow Lady Gaga-style shoes with no heels.

Talking about how her fashion choices had changed since becoming a mother, Jessica said: 'I didn’t use to wear a lot of colour. I guess I’ve been more adventurous with my style and clothes choices since I’ve become a mother.

'It doesn’t feel as heavy or as big a deal. Before, I was incredibly bashful and shy. When I was younger, I was really uncomfortable in dresses and high heels or anything like that. Over the years, I’ve embraced a more feminine side.

On how motherhood has changed her, she said: 'I feel like I’ve finally come into my own and become the person I always should have been, or that I always wanted to be. I feel more grounded, free and comfortable in my own skin than I ever have. The paradigm just shifted completely to my family.'

She added that she has learned what works well on her body type, after years in showbusiness and dressing for events.
