Precious few people have the ability to rock a mesh corset like nobody’s business. But Sophia Bush sure can. In fact, the Chicago PD and former One Tree Hill star looks nothing short of riveting on the cover of next month’s MAXIM.

That said, the feature article inside is no slouch either. Sophia opens up about everything from work, to fame, to social media. Some highlights:

On moving from One Tree Hill to Chicago PD: “It’s funny. It’s not often that someone gets a job at 20 and then does it for a decade. Those are the years you’re supposed to be growing and exploring new things… But this show? It feels like the job I was supposed to be doing.”;

On watching police procedurals for inspiration: “Well, I’ve watched his whole library, but I didn’t sit and cram or anything. Although I did spend my Super Bowl Sunday watching a True Detective marathon on HBO.”;

On her love affair with social media: “I realized I could have a dinner party conversation with 15 people, and I could use Twitter to have that same conversation with a million.”;

The April issue of MAXIM hits stands on March 17.
