 has showcased her slimmed-down figure in a glamorous new photoshoot in which she opens up about how she handles life in the public eye.

The Melbourne-born star exuded confidence and style in the striking photos as she showcased her striking new figure,

Chrissie reflected on some of the challenges she has faced being in the public eye across her two-decade long career, .

'I think I might be an unusual person because the headlines don’t bother me... they never have, if they’re about me, my body or people's perceptions,' she told the publication.

'I keep a very low profile, mainly because I'm sick of talking about myself, because I do it for two hours a day. I've always known myself very well, I've always told the truth, not consciously, but because I can't not.'

She added that she used to be hurt by some of the negative commentary, such as when she received public backlash in 2011

'It's a lot quieter now, but there have been times when "celebrity" meant something. It felt like people would take great pleasure in viciously tearing me down. I always was like, "Why would they do that?"... Do you know what helped?' she said. 

'I was being eviscerated because I dared be nominated for a Gold Logie back when the public bought TV Week and filled out the form. An extraordinary honour, I couldn't believe it. And I was eviscerated for that, which I still don't really understand.'

Chrissie said she decided to respond to the criticisms with her trademark cheeky humour.

'Everywhere I would look, there would be people debating whether I should have been nominated. It's like, "Guys, it's not up to me and it's not up to you, sorry. It's out of our hands",' she said. 

She said that she began to ignore the criticism after seeing another famous person receive backlash, which helped her realise that it came with the territory.

'I remember reading a really mean article about Hamish Blake and thinking, "Oh God, if someone can be mean about Hamish, they can be mean about anybody. It doesn’t mean anything because Hamish is heaven",' she said.

'So that fixed it for me. I thought, they're just gonna write what they write. It doesn't mean it's true. If you have a preconception of me or you think I'm the sort of person that would do something or whatever you think of me, I'm absolutely fine with it.'
