What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?

I'm quite fickle about clothes: one day I love an outfit, the next I want to give it away. Currently, it's a floppy black hat that I wore on the Hoss Intropia shoot. Peering out from under the huge rim makes me feel mysterious and sexy.

What is your fallback outfit?

A very colourful Indian print top that I picked up while filming in Miami: it looks dressy but not overdone.

What is your one piece of fashion or beauty advice?

Always dress with comfort in mind. It's so unattractive seeing someone who is wearing an outfit that she doesn't feel comfortable in.

Biggest fashion faux pas?

A bright pink, diamond-encrusted Matthew Williamson mini-dress I wore to the Baftas. I still cringe when I think about it. It was a great dress, just the wrong event to wear it to.

What aspect of fashion do you dislike the most?

I hate people looking the same. Mindless fashion following is boring.

How do you think people perceive you from the way you dress?

It depends. When I go out, people probably think I look elegant, but if they saw me in my everyday clothes, they'd think I was a mess.

If you could steal anyone's wardrobe - past or present, fictional or real - whose would it be and why?

Cleopatra's, please. I love all her gold jewellery and floaty dresses. I'd be happy wearing that kind of attire every day. If my career dried up I could sell the jewellery and still live very comfortably indeed.

If you could change one part of your body, which would it be?

I'm pretty happy with my body, but I'd love it to be completely hair-free, apart from my head and eyebrows. I hate the wasted time I have to spend shaving and waxing, it's so tedious.

What would be your five desert island staples?

A big rain mac, a bikini and sarong for days on the beach, a warm but totally unfashionable tracksuit and a gorgeous dress with tonnes of jewellery, in case my Prince Charming sailed on to the island one day.

What is a Fashion Day in the Life of Naomie Harris?

If I have a meeting, I'll wear something by Ella Moss, but if I'm just pottering I'll throw on jeans or a long hippy skirt and tank top. Later on, if I have an invite out, I'll dress up and be a lady.

Naomie Harris is the new face of Hoss Intropia.
