Amy Adams is luminescent on the February 2010 cover of InStyle UK.
The 36-year-old star of the Fighter tells the mag she never felt more beautiful than when she was pregnant with her now eight-month-old daughter Aviana.
"The whole purpose of my body was no longer to fit into a sample size," she says. "It was to nurture another being. So I always felt great, no matter what I was wearing."
Adams says she hasn't lost all her baby weight, but that don't matter in the grand scheme of things now that she's a mama.
"I love her. I need her in my life. I can't pretend otherwise."
