Paloma Faith dresses for confidence

Power dressing gives Paloma Faith confidence.

The singer-songwriter and actress always makes an effort with her appearance especially if she has just gone through an emotional upheaval.

She said:  »Power dressing is a big thing for me. If I’m going into a confrontational situation, I’ll make a real effort of if I’ve just split up with someone, I’ll dress up to the nines.

 »It gives me confidence, like I’m going in to battle. As a teenager, I was always trying to fit in and failed miserably. I wore what was considered trendy but it didn’t suit me. »

Paloma loves to show off her midriff because it is toned from years of dancing and welcomes attention from men.

She told LOOK magazine:  »People always say my abs are amazing. I’m 26 and I trained as a dancer from the age of four and luckily I’m blessed with muscle memory so my midriff takes care of itself. I started wearing stockings when I worked at Agent Provocateur and I’ve never got out of the habit. I wear what I feel confident in and dress for myself rather than for a man.

 »But I’m not saying I don’t enjoy appreciation from men, it’s nice to feel attractive. »
