Pregnant Claire Danes looks sensational and not-pregnant on the cover of Elle's February issue.
Unlike most pregnant celebrities that go nude for magazine covers, Danes decided to keep her clothes on as she struck a pose on the cover of "Elle". The 33-year-old, who is eight months pregnant, showed no sign of a baby bump.
The actress wears an off-white dress and accessorizes it with a thin silver chain, a chunky bronze watch with a chunky bronze bracelet. Her blonde tresses are left loose covering her ears.
Talking to the magazine, Danes revealed she's glad she waited.
"I've always wanted to have kids, but I'm glad I didn't until now," she said. "When I was thinking about [working and being a mother] originally, I was really nervous about it. I think I would make a lousy stay-at-home mom. It just wouldn't suit me. I feel so fortunate, in that I've had this arrow-straight focus that I wanted to act."
It was this desire that led her to Hugh Dancy. The two first met in 2007 at a movie "Evening".
"Hugh was just the right partner for me. I got very, very lucky," Danes said. "There's only so much credit you can take when it just sort of works, you know?"
Dane has spent a good part of her life in front of the camera, right from her teenage days when she was doing a short-lived cult favorite "My So Called Life."
"When I was younger, I was a little bit more restless, but there weren't as many eyes," she said. "There weren't as many tabloids or the number of cameras that every one's armed with."
