Liv Tyler loves having clothes custom-made. The ‘Lord of the Rings’ actress finds it “so special” to have gowns produced just for her and her most treasured possessions are items made for her by late designer Alexander McQueen, whose real first name was Lee. She said: “The most precious items in my closet are a pink bag and a black feathered cape, both of which Lee McQueen made for me. “The greatest fashion luxury is having something made just for me. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s so special. “Two such outfits are the Givenchy haute couture feathered dress that Riccardo Tisci made for me to wear to the Met Ball in New York last year and the red Alexander McQueen suit I wore to the first ‘Lord of the rings’ premiere in 2001.”

Liv Tyler admits to going “bananas” on shopping sprees. The gorgeous actress rarely hits the stores for her love of simple, classic fashion but occasionally shops up a storm. Liv says her shopping habits are fairly erratic to say the least. “I shop once in a blue moon – maybe three times a year – but when I do, I go bananas and buy way too much,” she joked in an interview with the April edition of UK Elle magazine. Liv says her fashion taste was influenced from a young age. The stunning star – who describes her signature style as “simple, classic and leather” – says her rock star father, Aerosmith legend Steve Tyler encouraged her to experiment with different materials. “Riccardo [Tisci] made me a pair of leather pants and I never thought I’d wear them, probably because I grew up in house full of leather, but actually I wear them all the time,” she revealed. The beauty believes her look is still evolving. She likes to rely on a few staple pieces for everyday wear though. “[I'm] still learning what I like and what suits me,” she said. “But my style trademark has to be Lanvin flats – I wear them with everything,” she added.

Liv Tyler didn’t tell her father she would be singing in her Givenchy advert. The ‘Lord of the Rings’ actress shows off her vocal talents in the commercial for Very Irresistible Givenchy Electric Rose with a sexy rendition of INXS hit ‘Need You Tonight’ and while she was thrilled to be asked to do it, she decided to keep it secret from Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. She told People: “My whole life, since I was a little girl, all I ever thought I would do is be a singer. My mom and stepdad, my dad [Steven Tyler] are all musicians and singers, and somehow I started modelling and acting instead. “When I was asked, I literally jumped on my bed and screamed like a little girl. It was such an amazing opportunity to try it out. “But I hadn’t even told my dad about it.” While Liv doesn’t talk to her family about her projects until they’re near completion, the mother-of-one says her sisters, Chelsea and Mia, were very impressed when they saw the final ad. She said: “I played them the video, they were so sweet, so excited, so supportive. Then it came out the next day, and I realised I could be excited about this now.”

Liv has explained her failsafe make-up routine. “Colour-wise, I love girlie pink shadows on my lips, either smudgy black or warm browns or taupes on my eyes and sometimes a little bit of purple thrown in,” she revealed in an in an interview with the March edition of UK magazine InStyle. “I’m a fan of natural-looking complexions – your face should always still look like real skin.” Liv uses a variety of beauty products when it comes to her skincare. The Hollywood actress has revealed that popular Crème de la Mer’s Moisturising Cream is among her favourites. “When it comes to beauty, I have so many products. I’m always indulging in new creams, potions and make-up,” she admitted. “One of my standbys is Crème de la Mer’s Moisturising Cream. I keep it by my bed and use it on my lips and under my eyes – it makes everything so soft.”

The 34-year-old actress – who has been dating photographer Theo Wenner for the past six months – explained she is constantly attempting to find out what the meaning of “life and love” are. She said: “Am I happy in love? I’m still trying to figure love out. I’m honestly still trying to figure it all out. Life and love and my ideas of love. And what love really is. And how it works and what it all means.” The brunette beauty – who has a seven-year-old son, Milo, with ex-husband Royston Langdon – admitted she has been using her own experiences of love as a child in an attempt to understand who she is as a person. Liv added in an interview with Marie Claire magazine: “I’m actually really trying to apply myself to understanding who I am, how I work, what I’ve done in the past, and my childhood, and how I am at raising a child. “What I saw as a child in love, the examples I saw and how that affects who I am today in love. All of those questions.”

Liv Tyler learns about love and life “every day”. The 34-year-old actress – who divorced ex-husband Royston Langton, the father of her seven-year-old son Milo, in 2008 -has spent her “whole life” trying to understand matters of the heart and thinks she has experienced a lot. She said: “I feel like I’m learning every day how to get through life and the world. Not just from the divorce. I’ve felt that way throughout my whole life, ever since I was a young person. “I’ve had a lot of big things happen to me.” The brunette beauty admitted although going through a divorce was “really hard”, she found relocating to Los Angeles with both Royston and Milo a “very healing” process. Liv added in an interview with Marie Claire magazine: “When me and Roy broke up there were a lot of changes and it was really hard. We all moved to Los Angeles – obviously, separately – just to get a new perspective. I wanted to see what it was like. “It was very healing. I have a lot of really good friends there. Then we came back [to New York] together. I’m always trying to figure out what’s best for Milo as a person.”

Liv Tyler takes photographs “obsessively”. The 34-year-old actress – who has a seven-year-old son Milo with ex-husband Royston Langdon – is “fascinated” by capturing moments on film because she has gone through so much “change” throughout her life. She explained: “Obsessively, I have thousands of pictures on my phone. Why am I so fascinated with capturing moments? I’ll tell you why. Because I’ve had so much change in my life. My whole life things have changed constantly so psychologically I’m sure I’m quite sentimental. “I want to remember the feeling, not only what it looks like. When it’s happening, it’s so wonderful but I know it’s gonna change or not gonna last. Everything changes so I want to remember it because I feel grateful for it.” While keen to constantly capture her son growing up, the brunette beauty – who is the daughter of Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler – beats herself up about having to raise Milo in the public eye. Liv added in an interview with Marie Claire magazine: “The thing that I beat myself up about quite a lot is the. I’m very grateful that I didn’t have to grow up in the public eye and I got to grow up in Maine and have a real childhood. “I do have my worries for Milo. I mean, we live in Manhattan in a huge house, and we have a staff and we have a very different life. He would be happiest if we lived in the country somewhere, just the two of us.”
