Gemma Arterton says she finds high fashion "intimidating".

The actress admitted she should make more of an effort in the style stakes but isn't sure if edgy designs would suit her.

Known for her understated classic style, the 26-year-old revealed that even her mother tries to encourage her to at least wear more colours.

"I'm not very fashion. I suppose I should be more, but I find it a bit intimidating," she told British Vogue. "I always wear black. Mum mum's always telling, 'Stop wearing black! You look like a woman in mourning.'"

The gorgeous brunette also said she doesn't feel comfortable flaunting her body.

Referring to a smouldering photoshoot she did for GQ in 2010, the former Bond girl explained why she wouldn't take any more raunchy pictures.

"I did this photoshoot for a men's magazine a couple of years ago that was quite sexy, I suppose, but I don't think I'd do anything like that again. When it came out, I felt awkward, like I'd done something dirty. My mum was quite upset when she saw it," she said.
