Nina Dobrev: Sexy & Playful For 'Cosmopolitan'

Nina Dobrev shows off her playful side as the September cover girl for Cosmopolitan magazine, where she models designer duds in the sexy Matthias Vriens-McGrath-shot spread. The magazine will hit newsstands on August 13th.

In the issue, 'The Vampire Diaries' actress dishes on her break-up with co-star Ian Somerhalder, choosing not to lead on good friend Julianne Hough, what she looks for in guys and her future plans. Read some interesting excerpts from the shoot beneath:

On Putting Pressure On Herself:
"I'm constantly trying to make myself better, to learn more. I didn't finish college so I feel like I'm always having to prove myself. I don't want to feel like the smallest person in the room."

On Not Using Julianne During Her Break-up With Ian Somerhalder:
"That's not what our friendship is about. Unfortunately, that's how it's perceived, but there's more to us. People aren't defined by their relationships. The whole point is being true to yourself and not the losing yourself in relationships, whether romances or friendships."

On What She Looks For In Guys:
"I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. I like when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful. The guys on our show are really good at that. A man in a suit looking put together and dapper is very attractive, but I also kind of like the I-just-rolled-out-of bed, a-little-bit-of-scruff, effortless, not-trying-hard-but-still-sexy guy. If a guy spends more time looking in the mirror than I do, that's a problem!"

On Her Future Endeavors:
"I want to open my own yoga studio. Planning construction and looking at properties is fun. I'm using a different part of my brain. You know that feeling when you use a different muscle? You're excited to be exercising it, but you get a little sore! Yoga changed my life. Hopefully, it will do that for others."
