Carey Mulligan says she is too "self-conscious" to wear risque clothing.

The actress told Hello! that she has no interest in "tight" or "revealing" fashion because she doesn't have the confidence to pull it off.

The Brit said: "I'm so reserved. I like outfits that come to my knee and aren't too tight or revealing. I'm too self conscious of my body and my appearance."

Mulligan meanwhile also revealed a dislike of the red carpet, adding:

"I hate the idea of standing in front of a hundreds of people while they take my picture. It's a nightmare and I feel so uncomfortable.

"Maybe I've improved a little, but any time I'm on the red carpet I lose all sense of myself. I find it so odd. I know it sounds like a contradiction but I never went into acting for all eyes on me."
