(Cover) - EN Star Style - Amy Adams claims the more she tries to perfect her style the worse it gets.

The actress-and-singer has spoken of her struggles with fashionable wear in the past but thinks a good outfit can improve her confidence.

Now, though, Amy admits her efforts are not helping and so she doesnt attempt anything fancy.

I try [to be stylish], yeah. I do. It doesnt help. The more I try, the worse it gets! So Ive learnt to just keep it simple, you know? Amy told UK InStyle Magazine. But the star says she has turned her attention to different types of clothes since becoming hugely famous, and this includes classier items.

I would probably say that the biggest thing that has changed is I actually let myself shop in the front of the store now, and those people reading this who only go to the back of the store know exactly what I mean!

The 36-year-old is reluctant to keep up an image when outside of her day job. Amy gets exhausted by having to spruce herself up for the cameras, so when shes relaxing its a chance to fall back into her own down-to-earth self.

I dont mean being in sweats, but in things that feel like me. So often Im playing roles or I have to create a character with a dress that Im wearing on the red carpet, she explained. I want the clothes than I wear when Im not working to be innately me. (C) Cover Media
