With a hint of Bardott about her and a wicked grin, the talented actress and former model oozes style from every pore.
We caught up with her for a quick fashion fix.
You're clearly a fan of fashion. Do you enjoy experimenting with your look?
I am a bit of a magpie and I love collecting things that catch my eye; any thing pretty and shiny. So my style is very like that. I get inspired every day walking around Camden where I live. I get ideas from music, film and the fashion magazines. I tend to pick out ideas I like from ELLE or Vogue and play with the ideas.
I never would copy a style directly. I think it's cool to look at your own wardrobe and see how you can jazz something up by add something unusual or customizing. I find that the main thing I experiment with at the moment is my hair and make up. If you get that right you can wear anything like a pair of leggings and T-shirt and still look effortlessly stylish.
Who is your fashion icon or your greatest influence in matters of style?
My taste in fashion is ever evolving so it changes all the time. I love Bridget Bardott at the moment, as well as Blondie and Goldie Hawn. I also like the Olsen twins because I think they always look effortless stylish.
What is your essential beauty item that must be in your handbag at all times?
Bobbi Brown Lip balm and a foundation stick to cover any little blemishes.
What is your favorite item of clothing that you've ever purchased?
A brown leather jacket that I bought in Mango 3 years ago, it keeps getting better with age.
How important is fashion in the world of the music/film industry?
Fashion film and music are all visual art forms, yet, in my opinion, all take some influence from the past. The industries use fashion as a personal calling card to be original to be new to be edgy. In turn it inspires all of us.
How would you describe your personal style?
There are five styles I like to incorporate to make my personal style. And it goes a something like this: Boho, Country, Gypsy Grundge and Rock. So, on any given day my style can be very different, it really depends on my mood and what my plans are for the day.
Who is your favorite designer? And your favorite high street store?
Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs.
Topshop, American Apparel and Urban Outfitters.
What is your favorite city to shop in and why?
London, I love going to all the markets, vintage stores and high street shops. I love the massive Topshop on Oxford Street and I spend hours in there. I love a good bargain (Lord I sound like my mother) … I always seem to find them in London.
What do you feel best wearing?
At the moment I’m in love with a pair of leather skinny trousers I got from Zara. They fit like a glove and I bought them for £25! Amazing. I wear them with a plain white t-shirt and a black suit jacket.
What is the best style advice you have been given?
I am sure you’re going to hear this advice a lot but I really think it is important for woman to wear clothes that fit properly. Wear what makes you feel sexy, confident and beautiful.
