My mother was a very natural woman. She never spoiled herself, never wore make-up, and wore modest jewellery, but she always had a few special items for when she wanted to feel like a lady. One of those special items - and I remember it because it seemed so elegant - was her Guerlain powder.
The jewellery I wear on stage in the opera house is not real, but the bling-bling I wear in concerts? Those are real!
I am not about airs and graces, fancy cars or jewellery. I am just about my family and my kids.
I don't wear any jewellery or gold at home.
Most of my jewellery is designed in South India. I pick out unique pieces in silver and then remake them in gold. None of my pieces are gifts; I make all my jewellery.
I'm a mother of three. I don't really have the time to put very elaborate outfits together, so I keep it casual but dress it up with shoes, a bag, and jewellery.
Jewellery is a great way to take your look from day to night.
I love all the shoe shops in Covent Garden. Laura Lee Jewellery on Monmouth Street for delicate gold jewellery. Every time I get a part in an English movie, I buy myself a piece of jewellery from there.
I love diamond jewellery on men, and pocket scarves, cravats, cufflinks. The trick is to throw it together so it's natural and not contrived. That's real style.
For me, style is all about confidence. What you wear, both in terms of clothing and jewellery, should add to your confidence.
