Actress Amanda Seyfried Shares Her Favourite Shopping & Dining Haunts
In Tokyo for the revamp of Cle de Peau Beaute's basic skincare range, actress Amanda Seyfried tells us her favourite shopping and dining haunts and the Hollywood legends she would love to work with.

Best places to shop around the world "I like to go to Liberty in London, I love it there! It’s so nice. The Japanese paper store Tokyo Hands is also great."
Oldest thing in her wardrobe she still wears "I have this beige, buttoned-down T-shirt that I love from (casualwear label) Splendid. I've had it since I was 16 and it has a hole in it now, but I still love it."
Favourite fashion label "Givenchy, because I can wear most of their things. I love the new dresses, the very sexy suits, and their purses are the best."
Must-have health foods "I take odourless garlic for antibiotic purposes. It’s really, really good for you. I use seven cloves and blend it into a soup - it’s so good. I also take olive leaf and blackcurrant seed oils for skin. And I drink so much water. I also occasionally add fruit juice in it."
Favourite dining spot "ABC Kitchen in New York City. It’s way too expensive, which makes me angry, but I love going there (for its flavourful dishes)."
Last book she read "An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination by Elizabeth McCracken. It’s so depressing, but really good. But (to be honest) I usually just listen to (audio readings of) books."
Who she would like to work with "Cate Blanchett. She's really smart and a great actress. I’ve always looked up to her. She seems really honest and appears to be a very good female influence. I also wish I could work with Paul Newman, but he’s dead."
Things that cheer her up "I listen to Patty Griffin when I’m having a bad day; she’s my spirit animal. She’s a beautiful, soulful musician. When I’m feeling really crappy, I lie on my bed with my dog and rub his ears."
