London, Jan 17 (IANS): Actress Gemma Arterton insists she isn't glamorous. She enjoys fashion and getting dressed up for red carpet events, but feels more at ease when she is relaxed about her appearance.

"I do enjoy fashion. I think it's fun and now that I have had my hair and make-up done, I do feel quite nice," contactmusic.com quoted the 27-year-old Arterton as saying.

"But you should have seen me a couple of days ago. I would just got back from a trip to Spain, where I didn't really wash for a week. My hair was in dreadlocks and my nails were filthy. That's the real me - not what you're looking at right now," she added.

Arterton previously admitted she likes to keep her style simple.

"For me, it's kind of simple really. I don't really go for anything too embellished or fancy or frilly or girly and it has to be easy because I haven't got time for anything that's too difficult!"

"I just like putting on a pair jeans and jacket and going, although I do like heels - I've got a passion for shoes, but I always end up wearing the one same pair of shoes," she said.
