You’ve worn some amazing dresses, do you have a favourite?
Probably the McQueen dress from the SAG Awards or the Elie Saab dress from the Oscars.
And are those designers that you prefer for big awards ceremonies?
You know, I’m not a designer snob. I don’t look at a dress and ask who designed it. Petra [Flannery, Milla’s stylist], who I’ve worked with for many years, always brings a beautiful assortment of dresses and we just try all of them on and go with the one that just feels right. But I love Elie Saab, I wore him at the Russian premiere.

Day-to-day I’m in jeans and a T-shirt.
Do you have a favourite brand of jeans?
I have a lot of favourite brands of jeans. Paige is not the most fancy of brands but it’s my go-to jean. Paige is great. Current Elliots and J Brands are great too.

It’s going to feel like the gown is wearing you. If you’re going to wear jeans, make sure they’re comfy jeans and a comfortable shirt. That’s my only tip.
How do you get red carpet ready?
