I have always loved fashion because it's a great way to express your mood. And I'm definitely a shoe lover. The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat.

There was one scene in which I wore a wig, full make-up and stilettos and thought, 'Oh my God, my family, all my friends in Tottenham! Nobody's ever seen me like this before... ' It was definitely a challenge but it helped me become braver as an actor.

High heels are like a beauty lift. In a flat, you can feel beautiful, but a stiletto changes your mood, how you move - like a wild, beautiful animal. The idea was always to follow a woman's wardrobe, her desires.
