Playing firefighter, Stella Kid, in Chicago Fire means that Miranda Rae Mayo is used to wearing a pretty heavy duty uniform.

But the stunning actress worked out a way to spruce up her look over the long, hot summer when she unveiled a daring outfit on Instagram.

Miranda stripped down due to the Chicago heat 

Miranda's character in the show is now married to fellow firefighter, Taylor Kinney - who plays Kelly Severide.

She's been with the show since 2016 when she joined at the age of 26. The Californian native had mostly been doing supporting work on beloved shows like Pretty Little Liars and True Detective.

Miranda sat down with HELLO! in 2021 and spoke about auditioning for the role and landing a spot on the popular and long-running show.

"I auditioned, and in 2016 I had a few shows under my belt but a job is a job," she said. "There were few things I would have turned down of the magnitude and caliber [of Chicago Fire], but I sent in an audition tape and then the next call was that I had booked it which is unusual."

Miranda loved being a part of the One Chicago franchise 

When asked how she built that connection with Taylor, her answer was surprising. "I didn't spend any time with him at all - it was sink or swim at first," she said. "I showed up, not really knowing him and only knowing him from the show, and just tried things in the scene. But he is very present in our scene work, and so it was like a tango and I let him lead."
