Lea Michele turns 30 years old this month. For most people, turning 30 can be quite scary. But the "Scream Queens" star is being pretty optimistic about the whole thing.

Michele sat down for an interview with "Entertainment Tonight," saying that when it comes to her body image, she's feeling "the best I've ever felt."

That explains why she looks so blissful while posing nude for the September issue of Women's Health UK.

In a recent interview at the 2016 TCA Summer Press Tour, Lea Michele opened up about what it was like to "follow in the great Chrissy Teigen's footsteps."

Chrissy Teigen, 30, also shot a stunning nude photo for the cover of the September 2015 issue of Women's Health -- and it was ALL the inspiration Lea Michele needed.

Lea revealed,

It was intimidating following in Chrissy Teigen's shoes. She's so beautiful. Zoe Saldana has done the cover as well. But I'm very comfortable in my skin. I was on Broadway and I had to take my clothes off there as well.

Here's the Instagram post.

Can you blame her?! Here's Chrissy Teigen's cover.

The former "Glee" star elaborated on posing nude, saying,

It wasn't that crazy for me, but then again, at the end of the day when you're taking these pictures you're like, 'Oh wait, these are going to be on newsstands for the whole world to see. But I'm very happy with how it came out. I feel the best I've ever felt in my whole life. I'm going to be 30 in three weeks, so I think it was the perfect time to do that.

It was certainly the perfect time, Lea!

Despite her breathtaking Women's Health cover, Lea Michele will have to brush up on her Snapchat skills in order to REALLY go toe-to-toe with Chrissy Teigen. Lea said,

If you ask for me io get good at something, I'm going to get really, really good at it. So everyone's been saying, 'Please snapchat more, please do it,' and so if you ask you shall receive. That's what happens in the day of Lea Michele.

Well, it looks like she's 100 percent ready to take on that challenge. Watch out, Chrissy!
