Rihanna turned heads in her glittering "naked" Swarovski gown on the red carpet last week and, while many wouldn't dare to follow in RiRi's fierce footsteps, Lauren Goodger has done just that in a sultry photoshoot for Closer.

Looking confident and sexy, the TOWIE star's gorgeous photos appear in this week's issue of Closer magazine (available to buy now), with Lauren proudly showcasing her "bigger curves" and opening up about how she feels sexier than ever.

She revealed: "Rihanna's body is great, but I prefer bigger curves.

"I like my bum and my boobs – I feel sexy."

There's no denying that Lauren knows how to work her curves - and now the 28-year-old reality has taken to Instagram to share a few extra-special behind-the-scenes snaps too.

One image, featuring a montage of shots from the Closer shoot, shows Lauren posing in her underwear before and after she's had her hair and makeup done.

She captioned the image: "Behind the scenes pic from my #Rihanna shoot #makeup #glam #noairbrush #notthereyet"

The other simply showed Lauren all dressed up in her sparkling fishnet gown and bandana, coyly looking downwards as she lets the camera do her thing.
