Model Brook 'more relaxed' in the US

Kelly Brook “dresses up” more in London.

The brunette model-and-actress feels she can be more relaxed with her wardrobe when she is in America, but concentrates on her appearance when she is in her native UK.

She said: “When I’m in London I like dressing up. I’ll wear lots of 50s-style prom dresses, pencil skirts, and blouses because they really flatter my hourglass figure. But right now I’m living in LA so I’m living in jeans and t-shirts.”

The 31-year-old brunette beauty – who has designed a range of swimwear for UK high street retailer New Look - also spoke about her love of swimwear, admitting she finds it difficult to pack lightly when she goes on holiday.

She said: “I have so many one-pieces and bikinis, but I prefer bikinis. I usually take about 12 on holiday at least.”
