The Devil Wears Prada actress claims she dresses ‘like a teenage boy’, and wishes she had the same style and fashion sense as other Hollywood stars.

Emily, 24, told InStyle: ‘I like fashion, I’m very partial to Marc Jacobs and Prada, but I don’t want clothes to wear me. Ordinarily, I dress like a teenage boy in layered T-shirts and Converse gear.

‘Emily, my fashion-obsessed character in The Devil Wears Prada, was an alien from Planet Fashion. I would rather aspire to look like Cate Blanchett, who is always immaculate, or Keira Knightley. They always look stunning.’

The rising British star is currently working with Keira’s boyfriend Rupert Friend on new film The Young Victoria, and admits she was desperate to make a good impression when they met.

She said: ‘I’m working with Keira’s boyfriend Rupert at the moment and it makes you realise what a cottage industry acting is. It means you have to maintain self-control at all times. If you start screeching at people and being a b***h, word will spread like a bushfire. So I’ve been on my best behaviour.’

Young Victoria, in which Emily plays Queen Victoria during the early years of her reign, is due for release next year.
