Megan Fox embraced a gothic look for her latest Instagram photos, posing in red lace lingerie beneath a sheer ivory dress surrounded by flickering candles.
The 40-year-old actress wore a burgundy bra and matching underwear under the delicate lace design, which featured a low neckline and flowing bell sleeves. A silver cross suspended from a dark ribbon choker completed the outfit.
Her long, dark hair fell loosely over her shoulders, while deep red lipstick, defined eyes and pointed black nails added to the dramatic styling.
In one photograph, Megan knelt on a cushioned seat holding an ornate candelabrum, its flames reflected in the mirror beside her. Another showed her sitting cross-legged on a patterned rug, framed by black taper candles and gold curtains.

Followers quickly joined in. "As if you could outrun me..." wrote one, quoting the vampire romance, while another offered: "I can be the Alice to your Bella."
The post had attracted 1.6 million likes at the time of the screenshot, with another commenter suggesting a different fictional vampire: "You're more of a Louis de Pointe du Lac, but I'll take it."

The photographs follow a recent interview in which Megan discussed how welcoming her fourth child had changed her experience of motherhood.
Speaking to People in October, she explained that having more time at home with daughter Saga Blade had allowed her to approach those early months differently from when her older children were babies.
"I've been able to choose to be much more present," she said, describing a greater sense of peace in their connection.

The actress is also mom to Noah, Bodhi and Journey, whom she shares with her former husband, Brian Austin Green. Saga is her first child with the musician.

"The journey of like loving myself is gonna be never-ending, I think."
