She plays Jyn Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first standalone Star Wars anthology film premiering next month.

And like most hard-working actresses in Hollywood, Felicity Jones expects to earn just as much as her male counterparts.

The 33-year-old actress told Glamour for its January 2017 issue: 'I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing.

'That's what every single woman around the world wants,' she said.

'We want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position. And I think it's important to talk about it.'

The Theory of Everything star is following in the footsteps of Hollywood heavy-hitters Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Lawrence to speak out about the issue.

'It's brave of those women to come forward and make a point about it,' the British beauty told the magazine.

'Now younger actresses will have a confidence in those discussions with their agents and be able to say, "Can we make sure that I'm being paid the right amount for the work that I'm doing?"'

Felicity also revealed she's proud to call herself a feminist, explaining: 'I’ve always been a feminist, and what I love in my work is being able to explore a full-sided woman and not patronise her.

'Particularly with Jyn, it’s such a rare opportunity to be able to play a female who’s not just thinking about romantic relationships.'

'It’s such a rare opportunity to be able to play a female who’s not just thinking about romantic relationships' Felicity said of her Star Wars character. The actress is pictured on November 28

The actress said she also loves that Jyn is not sexualised in any way.

'We don’t even see Jyn’s arms! That’s not her priority. She’s a survivor, and she has a mission to complete.

'Gareth [director] said very early on, "I want guys to watch it and be like, "I want to be Jyn!" A female friend of mine said, "I love that Jyn looks how we look, with trousers and a long-sleeved top." We aren’t in hot pants. When do women walk around wearing hot pants?"'

As some of the world's top models they're comfortable flaunting their figures.

But Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski left hardly anything to the imagination as they stripped off for LOVE Magazine's Video Advent teaser, released on Tuesday.

Despite being a vocal advocate of the Free The Nipple campaign, Kendall, 20, allowed her legs to take the focus, layering a red satin bomber jacket over her navy lingerie set.

An advocate of embracing the female form, Emily Ratajkwoski, 25, showed off a sizeable amount of underboob in a barely-there black bodysuit.

With her toned stomach and ample bust on display, the model-turned-actress put on a sizzling display as she writhed around in the scanty one-piece.

But despite her lack of clothing, Emily wasn't the most revealing of the models, with Sports Illustrated star Hannah Ferguson going topless for her raunchy segment.

With just her hands protecting her modesty, the blonde beauty wore only a pair of tiny gold knickers as she reclined.

Also putting on a sizzling display was Doutzen Kroes, who showed off her incredible figure in a racy red swimsuit.

Wearing her golden locks loose and tousled, she also donned a pair of mirrored aviators as she danced in front of the camera.

The London-born beauty put on a titillating display in the trailer - wearing nothing but a chic gold shirt and racy set of black lace knickers.

Clad in nothing but the briefs down below, the star's famously long and lean legs and glowing skin was left on full display as she posed fiercely for her festive clip.

Adding a chunky glittering belt to her middle, Jourdan cinched in at her enviably shapely waist to enhance her slender figure as she displayed her model prowess in front of a selection of colourful balloons.

Revealing a racy leather bralet underneath, the Puerto Rican model confidently showed off her rippling abs and enviable muscle tone as she ran her fingers through her glamorous and voluminous hair.

Elsewhere in the video Joan is seen peeking seductively through a set of neon hoops in the pitch black - which softly lit up her face and drew attention to her naturally defined cheekbones and striking model features.
