Gemma Arterton: Im not allowed to wear suits

24th February 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Gemma Arterton thinks red carpet outfits arent inventive enough.

The 25-year-old British actress is known for her roles in top films including Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Tamara Drewe. As a major Hollywood star, Gemma often has to get dolled up for premieres and showbiz awards, and she wishes the robes on offer to her could be more creative. The star would even like to shock fashionistas by donning a tuxedo to a swanky celebrity soiree.

"Red carpet dressing is different, because it is all about that one pretty dress and it's often not very inventive. I have always wanted to wear a suit on the red carpet, but so far people have always talked me out of it. It's the politics of red carpet dressing! But one day I will. I just want to be comfortable, that's the most important thing to me," she explained to Vogue.co.uk.

Gemma usually receives high praise from fashion critics for her elegant style choices, and she tends not to worry about making the occasional faux-pas. The star feels pleased that she rarely gets snapped by the paparazzi during her downtime, and feels free to dress as she pleases.

"I can get a bit nervous about what people will say about my outfit when it's a really big event, but under normal circumstances I don't really care," she said.

"In my personal life I love experimenting with fashion, but I have luckily managed to separate my everyday life from my job, so I don't get scrutinised about what I'm wearing on a daily basis." (C) Cover Media
