"American Horror Story" star Emma Roberts has just become the new face of American Eagle's new unretouched lingerie line, Aerie.

It's not like the 24-year-old actress needs much retouching anyway. She has a taut figure and beautiful complexion, even without Photoshop.

Photoshopping images of lingerie models is a norm in the fashion industry. However, this is something that Roberts stands against.

"I feel so honored to be part of a movement that reassures women that real doesn't mean flawed - real is sexy, real is cool," she told Refinery 29.

"Partnering with Aerie was a natural fit for me because #AerieREAL is a message I personally identify with, particularly being in an industry that is quick to judge flaws," she added.

In the images, which you can see in the Refinery 29 interview, Roberts effortlessly models several different pieces of lingerie and lounge wear.

Roberts told Refinery 29 that she felt very comfortable on the set.

"I've actually never felt more confident and comfortable on a set - which is amazing, because you don't have that safety net. But I saw the photos and I was like, you know what? This is great - this is just me, in clothes I feel good in, being who I am," she said.

Roberts was saying that with this ad, she wants girls to feel like they can be comfortable in their own skin.

The actress was not always as confident as a teenager and was picked on for being pale.

"I definitely have a complex about being pale because I've been made fun of my whole life, so I was nervous about that," she told People about the shoot.

Roberts admits she knows the pressure young girls are feeling to look like the "perfect" models they see in magazines and billboards.

"It's important for me to be a part of this, because I see how hard it is for girls my sister's age [14] with social media, and feeling like they need to look a certain way. I want to promote the idea that it's okay to look like yourself - you don't have to Photoshop your Instagrams," she said.
