Sexy is all in the eye of the beholder, and according to actress Linda Mtoba, it doesn't mean stripping off your kits and flaunting your body in public.
It's hardly any secret that when people hear the word 'sexy', the first thing that usually comes to mind is being a bit risqué.
And while some racy lingerie or a 'barely there' dress can create sex appeal, Linda believes there's more to being sexy than taking off your clothes.
Taking to Instagram recently, the actress opened up about how she does not identify with the "conventional" definition of sexy.
"I've never thought sexy is remotely close to who I am, well not the conventional 'sexy' that is."
Regardless of this, she has been nominated in Sowetan's coveted 2017 Mzansi's Sexiest celebrity, which she claimed came as a shock to her.
"But without even a bikini pic of myself I've been nominated. Imagine!," she wrote, before pointing out that the idea of being sexy is not one-dimensional.
"You can be sexy with your clothes on too."
