Rihanna has said all women should be confident enough to have naked photographs taken of them.
The 22-year-old singer was left red-faced in May when an ex-boyfriend leaked nude pictures of her online.
But, in an interview with The Sun newspaper, Rihanna said women should take advantage of their bodies while they still can.
"Every woman should have naked pictures taken. In five years my body might not look like this,” she told The Sun newspaper.

How do you really feel, Rihanna?
This week the popular recording star opened up for the first time about an embarrassing photo leak that "humiliated" her earlier this year.
Although the nude photos of Rihanna leaked onto the Internet remain a "sore spot" with the ultra-successful young singer, Rihanna says every woman should still send their boyfriend intimate photos.
"When [the leak] happened," recalls Rihanna in a new article from Celebrity Health and Fitness, "I sent my mom flowers first before I called and then she texted me – when the world is against me she’s always there supporting.”
“If you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him,” the 21-year-old now says, who endured the photo leak only weeks after her high-profile assault at the hands of Chris Brown.
“I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘Oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life.’ It was humiliating and it was embarrassing.”

Following the infamous fight between the R&B superstar and former boyfriend Chris Brown in February, she again hit the headlines in May.
A series of explicit images, which followed the release of one of her injured face in the aftermath of the attack, were published online.
"I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that and then, when that came out, I thought, 'oh great, so now there's nothing they don't know about me and my private life'", she told a US radio station.
"It was humiliating and it was embarrassing - especially my mum having to see that. It was two days before Mother's Day, so I was nervous.
"I sent her flowers first before I called and then she texted me - when the world is against me she's always there supporting", said Rihanna.
The images, which she described as "hot", were reportedly sent to an unnamed ex-boyfriend, not thought to be Brown.
"Rated R", the singer's new album, was released on Monday.

“That’s not too much to ask, right? The sex might be a little difficult but my mum is coming to cook me some food,” joked Rihanna. “She does spicy stew called pepper pot. It sounds strange but it’s really, really good. I’m not sure yet whether I’ll be spending Christmas in Barbados or with my grandparents in New York.”
Rihanna has admitted that she felt humiliated when naked photographs of her appeared online. The pictures, which she sent to an ex-boyfriend, emerged on the Internet in May.
“If you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, I feel bad for him,” Rihanna said in a radio interview.
“I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘Oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life.’ It was humiliating and it was embarrassing – especially my mum having to see that.”
Read more »Yet another ex-boyfriend has come forward to say beauty queen Carrie Prejean likes to flaunt what she's got.
Unfortunately for Jeremy Lattin, the photos she gave him were nowhere near as saucy as the explicit home videos Prejean sent to another ex-beau.
Lattin, who dated Prejean more than two years ago in San Diego, told eonline.com that "she sent me sexy pictures of herself in a bikini and stuff, but nothing worse than the stuff you find now by just Googling her name."
One reason could be that the relationship between Lattin and Prejean - the former Miss California who has been embroiled in scandal and controversy since she spoke against gay marriage at this year's Miss USA pageant - wasn't all that deep and meaningful.
"We went to church a couple of times," said Lattin. "She played basketball. I had never dated a girl who played basketball before, so that was really cool."
Prejean, 22, has been roundly criticized in recent weeks for being hypocritical.
