Gabriella Wilde's 'tomboyish' style
The Wonder Woman 1984 actress admits jeans and a T-shirt are the foundation of her wardrobe, and she rarely wears "anything nice" at home, because it will be "ruined immediately".
Gabriella - who has three sons, aged 11, nine and five - told HELLO! magazine: "I'm not someone who wakes up, and puts on an outfit and make-up, you know?
"I'm probably rolling out of bed and running outside to get the boys to school.
"If I have anything nice, it will be ruined immediately if I wear it at home.
"Children always will always bring you right back down to earth."
The former Poldark star began modelling during her school years, and she was leaning towards a career in fine art painting.
She said: "I started modelling very young - I was modelling on and off throughout school. Eventually, I left school and went into it full-time, then I started acting when I was 19.
"At the time, I was at art college studying fine art painting, thinking that was the road I was going to take."
However, she auditioned for Tim Burton's 2010 film Alice in Wonderland and then considered going down the acting route full-time.
Gabriella added: "That was the first time I thought, oh, maybe I could act. As I'd never seen myself in that way.
"I wasn't a particularly extroverted person, but then I discovered through film that a lot of the performance is internal and quieter.
"It's not always like a school play where it's about getting up in front of everybody and being that kid in school, which I wasn't."
Now, Gabriella's 11-year-old son is keen to follow in her acting footsteps.
While she has warned him it is a "really hard" career, the Carrie actress thinks she might put him off acting altogether if the pre-teenager decides she is "really lame and embarrassing" in the near future.
She said: "At the moment he's still young enough that he thinks my job is cool and I think he's interested in doing something creative himself.
"But I'm pretty sure that I'm teetering on the edge of him thinking that I'm really lame and embarrassing because he's 11 - so I feel like I might put him off forever because it'll become deeply uncool at some point."

Liam and Noel Gallagher walk out hand-in-hand again for second Oasis Live '25 Wembley show
Oasis played their second concert at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night (26.07.25) - with Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher walking out together hand-in-hand once again. The reunited brothers walked on to the mammoth stage arms aloft to the track F*****' in the Bushes as the 90,000-plus fans inside the home of football let out a deafening cheer for the second of seven nights at the iconic venue. Oasis kicked off with Hello and followed it up with Acquiesce, with Liam and Noel sharing vocals, before playing an incendiary version of Morning Gory which was dedicated to the "early risers". Liam, 52, was in a playful mood throughout the night and took a moment on stage to clear up speculation about the hat he was wearing on Saturday evening and on Friday (25.07.25). Addressing the attention on his hat, Liam said: "Got one thing to clear up, it's not velvet ... It's jumbo cord and it's a f***ing bucket hat." After Some Might Say made the stadium shake from the thousands of people jumping around, Liam then spoke to the crowd again saying "what's this song? From Mongolia" as he introduced Bring It On Down from the band's acclaimed 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe. For Cigarettes and Alcohol, Liam asked the fans who were standing to do The Poznan, the celebration borrowed from their beloved Premier League football team Manchester City which involves fans facing away from the stage, linking arms with their fellow gig-goers and bouncing up and down in unison. The frontman said: "Right then beautiful people. I never ask you to do anything. I've never asked you to do the hokey cokey. Turn around and do the Poznan." The classics just kept coming and after Roll With It Noel took over on vocals for the ballad Talk Tonight. Before playing the 1995 B-side, the 58-year-old songwriter said: "This one is for the ladies." Noel then performed Half the World Away and Little By Little, which prompted a mass singalong, before Liam returned for D'You Know What I Mean? and Stand By Me from Oasis' third album Be Here Now. One of the evening's highlights was 1994 single Whatever which included Liam singing lyrics from The Beatles song Octopus's Garden. After Live Forever, Oasis departed the stage after an staggering rendition of Rock 'n' Roll Star. They returned to more deafening cheers for an encore of of mass singalongs with Noel on The Masterplan and Don't Look Back In Anger - which pop star Dua Lipa was spotted passionately singing along to - and then Wonderwall with Liam back behind the mic. Before playing set closer Champagne Supernova, Liam thanked fans for sticking with him and Noel during their 16 years away and for coming out in their tens of thousands at each show so far on the reunion tour. He said: "It must be hard work supporting us. Look after yourselves." As the final notes of the rock epic played, the London night sky was lit up by explosions of fireworks as the fans cheered the Gallaghers and their bandmates off stage. Oasis - Wembley Stadium 26 July - setlist: Hello Acquiesce Morning Glory (Dedicated to the 'Early Risers') Some Might Say Bring It On Down Cigarettes and Alcohol Fade Away Supersonic Roll With It Talk Tonight (Dedicated to 'The Ladies') Half the World Away Little by Little D'You Know What I Mean?

And Just Like That recap: This is the moment we've been waiting for
Elsewhere, I guess Adam's done in Carrie's garden, since the episode opens on Aidan and Duncan sitting silently out there together and Mr Karma has way more time to bury his face in Seema's pits. I'm unsure if 'woman applying deodorant in public' needed a two-episode arc. Seema also got an office, so we could get a whole scene ramping up to the line, 'From WeWork to SheWork!' It's in this scene, when Carrie visits her to have lunch, that our girl finally, finally vents about Aidan's weirdness. She also mentions Big for the first time in years! The awkward courtyard chat with Duncan brings up so much old Aidan residual shame and guilt: her cheating on him with Big and sneaking cigarettes, him wanting her to change her life to mould itself around him, both of them seeing one another as a fresh start despite all the unresolved stuff still lingering. It couldn't go ignored forever. Carrie's late-night writing session with Duncan sends all that steam shooting out. Aidan needs her upstairs eating steaks with him. She doesn't bend to his will the way she has up to this point, and he sulks. When she climbs into bed to wrap herself around him like a koala, he's stewing. As cold as the raw steaks left symbolically on the counter. He sends her away, telling her to shower. 'You smell like smoke,' he basically spits. God, can she start smoking again? After she blows off her own steam in the shoe department, where SJP's IRL BFF Andy Cohen reprises his season six role as 'shoe salesman', she meets Aidan at 'the place we love'. Before her iced tea has even arrived, Carrie needs Aidan to finally stop blaming her for all that old stuff. They have it out. At last! She can't believe she doesn't have Aidan's trust after all the enormous changes she's made for him and with Big's gazillions of dollars. He has trust issues – not had. She was 100 per cent in – not is. Carrie has very real needs, and he's responsible for meeting some of them, which he's proven himself incapable of doing. The way she has been ground down as a result, shrinking herself into this easy, tiny, flexible thing, waiting for him to want her, has been gruelling to watch. This scene almost makes it worth it. I wish it didn't take Carrie this long to come back to herself, but God, I'm glad she's here. Loading At the manse, as a song from Taylor Swift's most verbose era plays (I bet The Woman loves Tortured Poets Department), Carrie removes all the Aidan ephemera from her apartment: two blank postcards and a pillow. Carrie trots off to meet the girls at dinner to discuss their armpits and dizziness, probably. The Woman is looking ahead to the future. Maybe one in which she gets a name. I know, I know – I've had one wish come true this episode, I won't push another one.
