Hilary Duff Discloses Reason On Taking A Bikini Selfie

Hilary Duff had come a long way since her innocent Lizzie McGuire days. Case in point: that daring bikini selfie she posted on Instagram last month. The Younger actress explained why she decided to share the bathroom snapshot with her followers during the Today show on Friday, April 3.

Today co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford were all for her sexy moment, but Duff joked that having a drink helped with the confidence boost. "That was [taken] after a margarita!" she said, blushing.

The "Chasing the Sun" singer - who shares son Luca, 3, with ex-husband Mike Comrie - previously discussed the revealing black ensemble during The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Mar. 30. She spilled that she was on a trip with her son, and it's been three years since she gave birth to Luca. The A Cinderella Story star is just so proud of her body and what it's done for her.

She added: "It gave me the most beautiful little boy. I feel strong and powerful-and I wanted to inspire other women."

While on Today, Duff also laughed about her new turquoise-colored hair. "I called my publicist and she's like, 'Do we have to?'" she recalled. "I saw my son the next day and he's like, "You're a mermaid Mom.'"

On the other hand, Duff who have been away from making movies will be seen next with Flock of Dudes along with Chris D'Elia, Skylar Astin, Bryan Greenberg and Hannah Simone.
