Fearne Cotton believes her short fingernails make her "very Parisian".

The 35-year-old radio and television presenter was told by French television personality and fashion guru, Alexandra Golovanoff, people living in the French capital "don't care" if they've gone without a perfect manicure as they do not want to reach "perfection" with their appearance, and the blonde beauty thinks the lack of care she takes on her hands means she would fit in perfectly with their style ethos.

Speaking in episode seven of Fearne's video series with The Huffington Post UK titled 'Fearne on Fashion', Alexandra said: "We're not trying to reach perfection. We don't care if the nails are a bit [unsightly]."

To which the show's host said: "Oh good because mine are horrendous. I'm very Parisian in that manner."

And Alexandra has advised the British star to ruffle her golden locks to achieve the perfect European beauty look, which Fearne joked would make her life "easier" because it's how she looks when she wakes up in the mornings.

Speaking about the hair style, Fearne - who has four-year-old son Rex, and 17-month-old daughter Honey, with her husband Jesse Wood - said: "This is me when I've got out of bed and fed my children. So, I just stay like that, no brush. This is going to make my life much easier. I love that."

However, the 'Happy: Finding Joy in Every Day and Letting Go of Perfect' author didn't "try" to emulate the French style during her visit but has vowed to copy their trends more often in the future by "never" putting her arms into her jacket sleeves and just wearing her coat loosely over her shoulders instead.

She said: "[Paris] is the fashion capital of the world. The home of Haute Couture, iconic fashion houses and absolute street style pandemonium at Paris Fashion Week. This is absolute fashion carnage.

"I'm not trying to be Parisian, may I add. This is just, I just threw this on. I'm going to try and be more Parisian in future.

"My arms are never going into my sleeves ever again."
