The famous former model Agyness Deyn has revealed her reasons for leaving the fashion industry at the peak of her career.
Agyness, who was one of the most famous faces of the modelling world five years ago with her elfin looks and boyish crop, quit modelling because she felt like her career was taking over her life and her personality.
The gamine beauty said: “I think every single person, not just models, gets to a certain age and you’re like, ‘Who the f**k am I?’ I think with modelling, even though it was me and it wasn’t contrived, it got like other people were saying, ‘OK, that’s you.’ And I was like, ‘Is that me? That isn’t all of me.’ There’s so much more to a person. It was about two years ago when I stopped – I still did little bits, but I had to get off the train to really assess my life and what I wanted. I just suddenly couldn’t see where Agyness the model ended and where I started. It was so enmeshed and I was so busy that that’s all I was doing for ages. I lost my sense of self.”
Will we ever see Agyness return to the runway? She doesn’t think so as she plans to move into the acting world but will never say never to working on the catwalks again. The model confessed: “I don’t want to be like, ‘OK, now I’m an actress and I’m never going to model again’, because that would be crazy.”
Come back to us Agy, the catwalks of London miss you!

Kate (far right) shines at the Costume Institute Gala in New York alongside Liv Tyler, Stella McCartney and Kate Hudson. We absolutely adore her peekaboo black gown
In light of Kate Bosworth’s newly-revealed rule of only wearing creations by fashion designers with good manners, we thought we’d have a look over the actress’ recent style file. One thing we can say about her is that she always looks fashion-perfect right down to the tippy-toes, whether she’s in a cool Jil Sander maxi skirt or a Lanvin evening gown for the red carpet.
What we like about Kate is that she is a girl who doesn’t shy away from colour – and she shouldn’t, with her ice-blonde 1940s hair and peachy colouring, this is one girl who was born to experiment with her look. We particularly love Kate in a cool peppermint-green Jil Sander skirt with a classic white T-shirt to contrast against hot pink lipstick, or Kate in a delicate white lace Erdem dress with splashes of vibrant, hot red.
This is one woman who was born to wear high fashion. Miss Bosworth – ShinyStyle salutes you.

Not only does she look like the girl next door, but it’s obvious that Kate Bosworth was brought up with a sense of good manners as the actress has revealed she only likes to wear fashions designed by nice people.
The blonde beauty, who is often a familiar face at Fashion Week and is always impeccably dressed, spoke out about her particular process of choosing what – and who – to wear.
Kate said: “I’ve always seen fashion as embracing the individual, although yes, I understand that there are parts of the industry that aren’t so welcoming. But I look at the Proenza Schouler boys – they’re so kind and they make such brilliant designs. The Rodarte sisters, too. It may be idealistic, but I like to think that goodness rises to the top.”
And naturally, Madamoiselle Bosworth knows the fashion industry well, with a father who’s worked extensively in the Italian fashion industry, a close friendship with the fashion house Proenza Schouler and her own ecommerce site Jewelmint.
No mean fashion snobbery for this girl, then. Hear, hear! Listen up, designers – throw a hissy fit or start name-calling and this actress will never wear your designs again. You have been warned..

Keira Knightley rocked a perfect off-duty look in a chic navy shirt dress with vintage sunnies and tan leather accessories
One of the best things about glittery A-list events such as the annual Venice Film Festival is that we get to drool over all the stars’ red carpet outfits – and their off duty ones too. We were particularly taken with a snap we saw of Keira Knightley in a sweet, smart-casual navy blue shirt dress – oh so chic and ladylike. We love love love.
The 40s-style dress worked perfectly with Keira’s slender figure and cropped wavy bob. She looked like an old Hollywood star out on her way to lunch somewhere glamorous. The star teamed the classic, full-skirted shirt dress with leather accessories for an understated look, cinching the dress in at the waist with a skinny tan belt and fringed brown leather loafer heels by way of chic footwear. Rounding off the look was a simple gold necklace and some vintage-look sunglasses. Perfection!
We had a sly little looksie for pieces on the high street that you can find to copy Keira’s style – we’re completely in love with Jaeger’s quirky umbrella-print shirt dress which has a similar classic, ladylike vibe to Keira’s dress. We were also pleased to find a pair of tan loafer heels at River Island that are almost identical to the actress’ – get to the gallery above right now and check it out.

In fifth place: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Forbes have just released a “who’s who” rich list of the wealthiest celebrity couples in the world – and we have to say we weren’t surprised to find out that the supermodel Gisele and her husband Tom Brady are the richest couple in the world. Gisele, who’s already on record as the highest-earning supermodel in the world, earned an impressive £27million last year while her footballer hubby earned £18million, giving them a total amount of £46million. Blimey.
Coming up in second place was the gorgeous Beyonce with her rapper hubby Jay-Z. The rapper made £22million from his music while Miss Sascha Fierce made about £21million through fashion and music, meaning that the couple together made about £43million last year.
Of course no rich couple list would be complete without Hollywood’s most beautiful couple, Brad and Angelina, who as a couple made £30million from Hollywood roles. (Angelina earned more than Brad, as she raked in £18million to trump his £12million. GIRL POWER.)
Naturally David and Victoria Beckham also made it onto the top 5 in fourth place. David was the big earner, thanks to all of his deals with sportswear companies, bringing in £24million while Victoria’s fashion label brought in about £3million independently.
And last, coming in at fifth place, surprisingly, was Robert Pattinson with his surly Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Both of the stars each earned £12million from the wildly popular vampire series.

The sultry Friends With Benefits actress Mila Kunis thinks she’s “not good” at being sexy. Really?
Mila, who has admitted to not understanding her new sex-symbol status, however puts as much effort as possible into her sex scenes because she hates unconvincing performances.
She said: “I’m not good at sexy. But there are so many women on the big screen who are so false you just don’t buy it. There’s nothing about them that you believe. It feels so put on. You can feel them mugging for the camera. It’s like their face is raping me, so I know I don’t want to do that.”
I think any bloke who’s seen her girlie scene with Natalie Portman in Black Swan would beg to differ about her apparent lack of sexiness. Still, it’s nice to see a star who’s a little more down to earth, no? We’re looking forward to the new movie.

Anne Hathaway is on an incredibly strict diet and exercise plan for her role as Catwoman in the upcoming Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises”.
Anne, who’s a devoted vegetarian, is mainly living on a special kind of cabbage in preparation for the scenes where she has to wear Catwoman’s iconic skin-tight Catsuit. Anne told Chelsea Handler on the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show, “I’m a vegetarian and right now, I’m living on kale and dust for the training. That catsuit’s unforgiving, man!” Poor girl..
The actress revealed that the strict training she’s gone through for the film has finally made her enjoy exercise.
Anne said: “Last time I was here we talked about how much I really don’t like working out. I really like it now. I know, that’s like, ugh… that person. Like, I came to LA, got a bikini wax, went blond and love working out. There’s a workout hump where you’re so weak that you hate everything and everything’s painful, and you look like an idiot. Like, the gym that I work out at, I was literally working out next to a pregnant Jessica Alba, and she could do more pushups than I could!” It’s never good to be upstaged like a pregnant lady, although Jessica Alba probably has muscles like Popeye.
Good luck with your dust diet, Anne- hopefully filming won’t last much longer and you can have a big old pizza.

The Virgin Suicides actress Kirsten Dunst has admitted to considering more a more grown-up wardrobe.
Kirsten, who is now 29, has always been admired for her vintage-feel, girlish sense of style – she’s often papped in pretty sundresses and ballerina flats. However, she’s been wondering lately whether or not she’s too old for her wardrobe anymore, and if it’s time for a change.
She said: “I’m 29, I keep thinking, ‘Stop with the cutesy dresses.’ I’m trying to, I honestly am. I have thing in my wardrobe that are too girlie for my age. But I like simple, feminine, casual. I don’t like overdone.”
Personally we absolutely love Kirsten’s style, and considering she still looks about fifteen we think she can still get away with it. Don’t change please, Dunst!

Jennifer Aniston would have been an interior designer if she failed as an actress.
The 42-year-old beauty shot to fame playing Rachel Green in ‘Friends’ for 10 seasons and since the series ended in 2004 she has become an established Hollywood star, but she had other career plans if her screen ambitions didn’t come to fruition.
Jennifer – whose first film role was in 1993 horror movie ‘Leprechaun’ – said: “If I weren’t an actor; I’d be, maybe, an interior designer. I love seeing a house and thinking about how it should be redone or restored. I spent a lot of time doing my current house, and it’s beautiful. It’s like a beautiful work of art, and I’m very proud of it.”
However, Jennifer wouldn’t have been a waitress like her alter-ego Rachel – because she tried it and she had too many accidents.
Speaking to the new US issue of Marie Claire magazine, the ‘Horrible Bosses’ star said: “I dropped more than one Alpine burger in customers’ laps, and you just do not want all of that Swiss cheese and mushrooms in your pants. I wasn’t a good waitress, but I was told that I was very nice and charming, so people liked me anyway.”

Kate Winslet is the new face of St John.
The 35-year-old actress is following in the footsteps of a number of big names including Angelina Jolie, Gisele Bundchen and Karen Elson to become the latest ambassador for the American knitwear brand and says she is “excited” about her latest project.
She said: “The St John collection is effortless and chic, and I think speaks to how real women live and dress today. I am excited to collaborate with George [Sharp] and work with St John.”
Kate – who has previously done promotional work for Lancome and Longines watches – is set to star in St John’s forthcoming fall advertising campaign.
Creative director George said the ‘Titanic’ star “captures the style” of the brand’s targeted female audience.
He added: “She is an accomplished, beautiful woman with an extraordinary body of work, and one of the most admired actors of her generation.
“She embodies the modern sensibility of St John, she is contemporary and authentically captures the style of the St John woman.”
Kate’s appointment comes after controversy in January 2010 when Karen replaced Angelina – who has recently become the new face of Louis Vuitton – after the ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ actress was deemed too big for the company.
St John’s chief executive Glenn McMahon previously said Angelina “overshadowed the brand”.

Julianne Moore “hates” 1950s style.
The ‘Kids Are Alright’ star prefers the style of the 1970s because her body shape does not fit into the classic 50s look.
She said: “I don’t like 50s clothes. I wear them in movies, or they appear on the runway, ladylike waists and all that. I’m like, ‘No!’
“I hate them on me because I have no waist. I go straight up and down.
“I remember a Life magazine photo of a girl with long hair, in jeans, no make-up, hair very loose and I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Very 70s. That has stayed with me my entire life.”
The 50-year-old actress is famed for her pale skin and natural beauty, and she believes staying out of the sun has helped her age well.
She told InStyle magazine: “I say this to every young person I know, stay out of the sun! I have very fair skin and it could have been super damaged.
“I was a kid before SPF was invented. But my family never went to the beach until after three o’clock and only stayed for 45 minutes. Now I always wear sunscreen and I walk on the shady side of the street.”

Gwyneth Paltrow has been left with “bulging problems” after being banned from working out.
The 38-year-old actress – who was told she couldn’t adhere to her usual exercise regime when she took up the role of alcoholic singer Lisa Canter in new movie ‘Country Strong’ – admitted she “panicked” when she found out she wouldn’t be able to work out.
She explained: “At first I was a bit panicked about it, so I’d start working out a little bit. A lot of people lie the other way and say, ‘Yeah, I work out five times a week,’ when they actually don’t, whereas I was saying, ‘No, no. I didn’t work out,’ when actually I was on the treadmill.
“It was then that I was like, ‘Right, I have got to stop.’ But it wasn’t until we were finishing the movie that my body completely fell apart. My body was doing OK right up until the end. Then it just started falling to pieces, so now I am left with bulging problems.”
The blonde beauty explained she is aware there are “no free rides” when it comes to achieving a svelte physique, and she stays in shape by undergoing “horrible, long exercise”.
When asked how she stays in shape, the mother-of-two added: “Exercise! Painful, horrible, long exercise. I know from experience that there are no free rides in this world.”

Kate Hudson’s style icon is Kate Moss.
The 31-year-old actress – who is currently expecting her first child with Muse rocker Matt Bellamy – admitted she envies the supermodel’s ability to wear anything, and also admires the looks of 60s British actress Julie Christie and Italian fashion designer Anita Pallenberg.
She told Look magazine: “I loved Julie Christie and I have a massive crush on Anita Pallenberg and her style. I think Kate Moss has that ability to be able to wear anything.”
While Kate admires the style of other celebrities she has previously admitted the harshest critic of her own dress sense is her son Ryder.
She said: “Oh my gosh, he’s my biggest critic, always asking: ‘What is that?’ I always know when he likes it when he sees me and he doesn’t say anything and he gets kind of flushed. I go, ‘Uh-oh. That means you like it!’”
While Kate – who recently purchased a new home in London with Matt – “loves” shopping and searching for the latest fashions, she is now equally interested in finding cute pieces to spruce up her home.
She added: “I love shopping but once you get into houses and wanting to nest you get into lamp shopping and bedding.
“I really love interior design. My shopping has gone from fashion to more of the house stuff.”

Sophie Monk is creating her own underwear line.
The 31-year-old beauty has joked while she “doesn’t wear” lingerie herself, she is hoping to team up with a whole host of designers to create her own collection of “affordable, yet trendy” underwear.
She told the Kyle and Jackie O Show: “It’s underwear which is weird because I don’t wear it, joking, I do wear it.
“I can’t say who we’re teaming up with yet. But we’re talking to lots of people, it’s looking really good, I can’t wait, it will be affordable but still trendy and cool.”
While she is confident about her body, the Australian actress recently admitted when she was dating plastic surgeon Dr. John Diaz she was concerned he would want her to change her appearance.
Sophie explained: “It’s always in the back of my mind that he’s thinking, ‘A little bit of this, a little bit of that.’ It’s his job so you would think he would.
“It’s hard because all he does is squeeze boobs all day. It’s not normal. I make out with guys in movies and he squeezes boobs all day!”
