Speaking of looking back, your pixie cut was a huge part of your style, and you’d regularly be one of the only women with short hair on the red carpet. Would you ever go back to it?

Never say never. When I was in The Saturdays, having really short hair was really easy. The guy who did our hair cut mine every three weeks when it started to grow out. But being a mum, working and not travelling with my hairdresser everywhere now, it just wouldn’t be sustainable. I do see pictures of my pixie cut and sometimes think about how much I loved it, though. It’s kind of what made me me.

Piecing together outfits can be difficult – and it’s something lots of people have struggled with post-pandemic. Do you have any advice on how to rediscover your style?

I totally relate! I went through a real stage of just wanting to wear leggings and jogging bottoms; I think everyone found it really hard to wear anything that wasn’t elasticated for a while. Back in the day, I was like a real jeans girl, but they were all stretchy then and now all the cool jeans are like pieces of cardboard. Recently, though, I’ve been making an effort to actually wear what’s in my wardrobe and it’s made a big difference. Rather than always buying new stuff, if you force yourself to wear what’s in there (provided it’s comfortable and fits you), you end up realising how many good bits you’ve got.

Has being in your 30s affected the way you approach fashion?

I think it has – we’re constantly told that when you hit 30, you can’t wear particular things because you need to be giving off a certain image. Especially if you’ve had kids, it’s really difficult to kind of find your groove again with fashion. I think the answer is really about redefining what you wear, but you can do that slowly instead of getting rid of your wardrobe and starting again. Sometimes, things that were your easy, go-to, comfortable outfits don’t work anymore, but it’s about making swaps. Nowadays, my failsafe outfit is a pair of black trousers with a vest top and an oversized blazer – I can style it with jewellery, sunglasses and handbags to make it feel different.
