(Cover) - EN Star Style - Christina Hendricks is eager to find a retro crocodile clutch bag.

The 35-year-old American actress has become a major fashion icon thanks to her role in hit US drama Mad Men, where she portrays seductive office worker Joan Holloway.

In the programme, which is set in the 60s, Christina wears a variety of stunning vintage pieces, and admits that although she is less inspired by retro fashion in real life, she does still like to hunt out the odd period piece. One of the stars favourite places for discovering old gems is online auction site eBay.

Im always shopping on eBay. I love handbags at the moment, Im trying to find a vintage crocodile clutch. I have a watching list of eBay, she laughed to the British edition of InStyle.

Christina was named the new face of Dame Vivienne Westwoods jewellery line in February, and the star is a massive fan of the range. She says the line manages to be both feminine and edgy at the same time.

Vivienne Westwoods Get a Life Palladium jewellery range is very me. Its rock n roll but also sweet and dainty. Im in love with the acorn pieces, beamed Christina. (C) Cover Media
