Helen Mirren has admitted that most of her clothes have been bought second-hand.

The 62-year-old Oscar winner revealed that she also has a fondness for making her own wardrobe.

"I love second hand shops," she is quoted as saying in the Daily Express.

"Or I make my own clothes because I've never found the kinds of things I liked. My mother taught me how to work a sleeve."
