Pregnant Ellie Goulding turned her body into a work of art for a risqué new photo shoot.
The 34-year-old singer bared all for Paper magazine, covering her body with colourful strokes of paint.

In one shot Goulding stood fully nude save for a pair of boots, her flesh used as a canvas for abstract splashes of blue, yellow and green paint.
Another saw her don a hat reminiscent of a tasselled lampshade as she caressed her bump.
She resembled a Hollywood siren in a third as she lounged on top of swirling red fabric with her blonde hair styled in slicked waves.

The 34-year-old star and husband Caspar Jopling are expecting their first baby this summer.
In a recent interview with Stella, Goulding told how she was enjoying her pregnancy body.
She said: “I’ve always had a runner’s body and now I have a bigger a** and these rather nice boobs.”
The notoriously private singer recently took to her Instagram page to give fans a peek into how she’s getting along.
She was clearly tickled by how different pregnancy looks online compared to how it actually is, and was keen to point out the truth to her followers.
The blonde beauty first shared a glam snap from a recent magazine shoot, which saw the expectant mum’s bump dressed in a flowing pink gown with a plunging neckline.
Goulding looked ethereal and peaceful in the dreamy photo, which wasn’t quite the reality of her situation.
A second photo was much more relatable, with the star make-up free as she lay in an oversized T-shirt.
The black and white snap saw Goulding pouting at the camera, her hair loose and un-styled, and one arm over her head.
The Burn hit maker simply captioned the post: “Instagram vs. reality.”
Goulding very rarely posts about her personal life on social media, with much of her feed is made up of professional photo shoots or promotional posts about her music.
And fans were thrilled to see this different side to her, with one commenting: “I love the reality vibes!!”
Another added: “Thank you for sharing the reality”.
She has embraced her changing body and admitted that she can’t stop eating sardines and Weetabix while pregnant.
