"I love things that make me feel comfortable but aren't too tight or showing too much cleavage," she tells us. "That might be some people, but definitely not me. I can be sexy and still be classy. I don't do outrageous outfits, and I never will." So what message might she have for her not-so-nice critics? "I used to think, I don't want anyone to say bad things about me. But now it just makes me mad to see someone blasted for what she wore. Fashion, to me, is what makes you feel awesome."
