Amanda Seyfried gets fashion advice from boyfriend Dominic Cooper.
The stunning actress admits she’s quite casual when it comes to style and relies on her ‘Mamma Mia!’ co-star to help her look good.
She said: ‘I love Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang. But I’m more likely to buy leggings than an elaborate low-cut piece. They both make casual clothes that have something extra going on, which is what I want. I also like Calvin Klein and I love Prada bags. Actually, Dominic bought me a gorgeous bag. He knows a lot about fashion. He’s very stylish.’
Amanda looks good in most designer clothes as she is blessed with an enviable figure but says she has to work hard to maintain it.
The blonde beauty told LOOK magazine: ‘I love to work out. I like it when my body is tight and when I feel good. I’ve been doing it since I was young and I have a big obsession with exercise and wellbeing. I guess it was always in me, but there’s pressure to be a certain way, regardless of my profession. Nobody ever makes me think about losing any pounds, but I don’t weigh that much to begin with as a I have a small frame.’

Stella McCartney has designed two exclusive charity T-shirts.
The fashion designer created the tops – which will be available in certain London stores as part of her second collection for Gap Kids – to help raise awareness for her environmental campaign, Meat Free Monday.
The strict vegetarian said: ‘MFM (Meat Free Monday) is about us all taking control of the environment we live in for our kids and the generations to come. Whether you eat meat or not, you can be part of this decision to limit the meat industry destroying our planet’s resources.’
MFM was started by Stella along with her photographer sister Mary and her father, Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, and aims to raise awareness of the climate changing impact of meat production and consumption.
The T-shirts, which are printed on organic cotton, feature a superhero for a boy and Stella’s signature Intarsia leopard for a girl.
The mother-of-three recently revealed she thinks the fashion world is finally embracing ethical practices, something she has been doing for years.
She said: ‘I hope everyone else is catching up, but I’m also learning all the time, so I think I’m constantly changing and the brand is constantly changing. I think that’s part of being a modern brand, you have to react to the environment you are living in, as much as the industry you are working in.’

Madonna admits she would like her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes to dress more conservatively.
Madonna wants her daughter to dress more conservatively.
The ‘4 Minutes‘ singer – who has collaborated with her eldest child, 13-year-old Lourdes, on a new children’s fashion line called Material Girl – admits she isn’t always happy with the teenager’s fashion choices but would never tell her what to wear.
Madonna – who is known for her sexy and controversial outfits – said: ‘If anything, I wish she’d dress more conservatively. How’s that for irony?
‘She is inspired by kids she sees in hip-hop and ballet classes, European influences, bands she listens to. You could say it’s in the DNA – but I could never tell her how to dress! She also comes to my photo and video shoots, pulls outfits together and gives her input to a lot of my fashion designer friends. Whether it’s Marc Jacobs or Stella McCartney, they always ask her what she thinks.’
Despite collaborating with her daughter on the fashion range, the 51-year-old star – who also has sons Rocco, nine, and David, five, and daughter Mercy, five – admits she has left the bulk of the work to Lourdes.
She added to Us Weekly magazine: ‘I did a line for H&M, which I enjoyed, but it was a lot of work. I thought, I don’t want to give up the rest of my career, so I’m not going to do my own line again. But I have a 13-year-old with tireless energy who wanted to do this. I’ve been involved in business meetings, but Lola’s really doing the work. I just sit in the corner on my BlackBerry!’
