WWW- Angie Harmon is among five actresses who struck a risque pose for next month’s Allure magazine.

“I’m very, very modest,” says Harmon, the star of the TV show “Women’s Murder Club.”

The former “Law & Order” star appears in the buff along with Gabrielle Union (one time co-star of ABC’s “Night Stalker” who will soon appear in Eddie Murphy’s “Starship Dave”); Zoe McLellan (of ABC’s “Dirty Sexy Money”); singer and actress Jill Scott, and “Ugly Betty” co-star Ana Ortiz.

Harmon tells Allure that the closest she’d ever come to public nudity was skinny-dipping, but “I was with my husband (former New York Giant Jason Sehorn) and we were on a private beach in Bora Bora. We took one picture of our heads under the water, but we can never develop the film because we don’t know what else is showing!”

She overcame similar jitters at the shoot: “The hardest part was when the robe came off and I was like, And now I’m… naked,” Harmon says. “You wonder if they can see your Cesarean scar.”

But after a few minutes, “I felt comfortable. I realized, I’m here to make a beautiful picture.”

She wasn’t the only reluctant one. Scott initially rejected the idea. “It was a frightening concept,” she says in the magazine. “I had to be convinced.”

McLellan, however, had little trouble stripping down. “I’ve always been a performer,” she says.
