'I urgently needed to find a dress to wear for Hugh’s premiere, and in those days I had no idea about fashion. 'I remember going to an office where they literally fished a dress out of a white plastic bag. I took it home and did my own hair and makeup, fighting Hugh for the mirror, which wasn’t even full-length, in our tiny one-bedroom flat.'

But just because it still fits doesn’t mean I would wear it today— it wouldn’t be appropriate!'
