"Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev steps out in a sexy lingerie bed shoot for Esquire magazine to promote their August issue.

Nina looks hot with her hair tousled as rolls in bed while telling jokes in front of the camera. The actress, who is often mistaken for Emanuelle Chriqui, finally came out on her own.

The sexy young star of "Vampire Diaries" posed for Esquire in a fun and flirty shoot for their August issue. During the promotional video from Esquire, Nina was dressed in lingerie and a white tank top. She was seen laying in bed while she tells a funny joke.

The 23-year-old pretty actress is currently in a relationship with her hunky co-star Ian Somerhalder. Nina and Esquire teamed up for the "Me In My Place" feature which aims to showcase the actress' more down-to-earth side.

Nina had her shot to fame with the CW show "Vampire Diaries" but the Canadian-Bulgarian beauty will definitely not stop there. She will appear on the movie "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" which is said to be released in September.

Nina is also rumored to be one of the front runners for the role of Anastasia Steele, the female protagonist in the highly controversial novel, "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Being one of the hottest young actresses today, she previously talked about her fitness and health regime. Nina said that she doesn't like weights that much because she doesn't want to "bulk up" on her shape.

"I like to keep it all lean. I love yoga because it's very calming for your body and your spirit. It gives you that meditative state and its 90 minutes where you can get away from the world and just be, and exist in the moment," Nina said. "I need yoga. It's part of my life and I can't imagine not doing it.
