The London-born star recently revealed that when it comes to deciding what to wear for the red carpet, comfort plays a major factor. "I find the most beautiful dress I can for the occasion that amuses me, appeals to me, that I feel good in," she told USA Today. "That's it really." The former Bond girl also revealed that she "will welcome the day with open arms when I can just turn up in jeans and a T-shirt". Rosamund has already seen jaws drop with her red carpet style, as she lead the best-dressed stars at the Golden Globes in January. The pretty actress stepped out in a revealing, cut-out Vera Wang gown, showing off her enviably toned figure in the custom-made gown a mere five weeks after giving birth.
