Lily Collins' love of fashion comes from her mother.
The 'Mirror, Mirror' actress says her mum taught her everything she knows about designers and always let her experiment with weird and wonderful outfits as a child.
She told the new edition of Carine Roitfeld's CR Fashion Book magazine: "I grew up loving fashion and admiring designers because my mum showed my different styles and always allowed me to express myself via my clothes - no matter how crazy or ridiculous they were.
"Her influence taught me to have a huge amount of respect for vintage clothing, but also modern designs."
Lily, 25, can pinpoint the exact moment in time when her love affair with clothes started.
She recalled: "I remember going into a shop with my mum in Dublin when I was about four or five and seeing an amazing pink fur coat with a hood.
"I thought it was the most incredible thing in the world and when we bought it, they had to put me on the counter to scan the price tag because I refused to take it off."
The British beauty, whose father is musician Phil Collins, might favour a "chic and classic" look these days, but she still isn't afraid to take risks.
She added: "For me, red carpet fashion is taking risks while staying true to your own aesthetic. Wearing the clothes, not letting the clothes wear you."
