On the 'Revenge' set, even if they're not showing my feet, I'll still wear my heels because it gets me in the feeling of Ashley Davenport.

Daphne Guinness, who makes couture seem wearable, is an icon who influences what I wear.

I still credit Adrian Lester with being one of my biggest influences.

Statement earrings and statement necklaces each deserve their own moment. I never wear the two together; it looks overdone.

You should see some of the things people tweet me. There have been death wishes on my Twitter timeline.

I originally wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to be Kylie Minogue. My dad thought that was a very silly ambition and introduced me to drama classes. Once I became fixated on that, there was no stopping me.
