Naya Riverais proving sexy doesn’t mean getting all dressed up to the nines!
This week, the formerGleestar, 32, showed off her some sexy images from a recent photo shoot with photographerTyler Kandel.
Baring it all in minimal-to-no clothing and no makeup, Rivera explained that she and Kandel went for an “effortlessly gorgeous” vibe in the black and white, naturally-lit shots.

Letting the images do the talking from that point onward, Rivera shared two more shots to Instagram without captions.
The first, which was posted a few hours later, captured the actresslying on her backon what appears to be the sand in a wet, long-sleeved white shirt.
For the intimate shot, Rivera also kept her eyes closed and held her arms above her head, where a bit of sand can be seen sticking to her sleeve.
But it was her most recent photo on Friday that really got fans talking. Clearly saving themost scandalous shot for last, Rivera bared it all and was captured gazing downward with no shirt on, as she rested her hands behind her neck.

The photos aren’t the only personal thing that Rivera has shared with the public.
In 2016, the actress revealed in her tell-all memoirSorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes and Growing Upthat she battled anorexia as a teen and had an abortion while she was onGlee —in hopes of letting other women know they are not alone.
“It was very scary to open up about everything,” she told PEOPLE ahead of her book’s release. “It’s not something a lot of people talk about, but I think they should. I know some people might read it and say, ‘What the Hell?’ But I hope someone out there gets something out of it.”
In addition to those revelations, Rivera also addressed her relationship withGleeco-starLea Michele, as there has been a rumored feud between the actresses since 2014.
“One of theGleewriters once said that Lea and I were like two sides of the same battery and that about sums us up. We are both strong-willed and competitive — not just with each other but with everyone — and that’s not a good mixture,” Rivera wrote. “As the show progressed, though, that friendship started to break down, especially as Santana moved from a background character to one with bigger plot lines and more screen time. I think Rachel — erm, I mean Lea — didn’t like sharing the spotlight.”
Rivera, who called Michele “sensitive,” noted that while they “weren’t the best of friends,” the “rumors of our ‘feud’ were blown out of proportion.”

Most recently, Riverabacked her words upduring an appearance onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenin February.
While responding to a fan’s question about whether she had spoken to her formerGleecostar, after liking a photo of herengagement ringon Instagram last year, Rivera insisted that there was never any bad blood between them.
“I did not speak to her,” Rivera said. “But I mean, everyone sees Instagram, right?”
“So that was kind of like a white flag, right?” hostAndy Cohenasked.
“I don’t think there was any beef,” Rivera replied, before complimenting Michele’s four-carat ring from now-husbandZandy Reich: “It’s a good ring.”
