Actress Emma Roberts is worried she is too pale to be a model.

The American Horror Story star stripped down to her underwear for the latest #AerieREAL campaign, which portrays un-retouched models wearing the American Eagle brand's lingerie.

She admits she was terrified she'd look washed out in the images.

"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 magazine.

"When I was a kid, everyone would be like, 'Your legs are so pale! I can't believe you're wearing a dress!' And I would get so embarrassed."

But she was such a fan of the #AerieREAL campaign she put her worries to one side and stripped off.

"I just loved the messaging behind it," she said.

"I hope that with this campaign they (young women) start seeing 'real' as beautiful."
