Milla Jovovich has stopped wearing extravagant clothes since she became a mother because she's too worried about her kids ruining her garments.

The 42-year-old actress - who has two children, daughter Ever, nine, and 23-month-old son Dashiel, with her director husband Paul WS Anderson - has admitted her style has been simplified by parenthood as she lives in fear of "mashed fruit or vomit" staining irreplaceable clothes.
Milla said: "It's definitely simplified. I used to be the kind of girl, especially in my 20s, who was constantly wearing these one-of-a-kind Victorian jackets. I used to take loads of time to get ready and spend hours accessorising. Of course, once you become a parent that becomes completely obsolete. You don't have the time, and who wants baby gunk - whether it's mashed fruit or vomit or whatever - on your one-of-a-kind Victorian jacket?"
Milla - who became a model at the age of just 11 - added that she doesn't need a stylist to dress her because she's confident in her own fashion acumen and knows what looks good on her frame.
In an interview with Prestige Hong Kong magazine, she said: "I've always dressed myself for the most part, although I have worked with stylists. But I know what I want to wear and that's something I don't feel a stylist could ever really bring me. I just love classic pieces. That's why I like Prada as well, for its lines and sense of humour."
The 'Resident Evil' actress has designed her own brand of jeans and insisted they will be modern rather than "gimmicky".
She said: "They're based on a few of my favourite pairs, one of them being a jean that I designed 10 years ago. It's high-waisted, but not too crazy or with too much design on it. It's more simple, sleek and everyday, which you don't really find. Usually they're very gimmicky, super-70s. I want something modern. Let's see how it turns out."
