Annabelle Wallis Talks Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy And Opulent Dressing 

InStyle - home of fashion, beauty, hair and celebrity style

Annabelle Wallis returns to our screens tomorrow night (9PM. BBC2), alongside Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory in the new series of Brummie drama, Peaky Blinders – with audiences eager to discover the fate of her character Grace. 

We got to catch up with the 29-year-old ahead of the series launch for our November issue, and just

to ask her what it's like to work with everyone's favourite blue-eyed thesp, Cillian Murphy.

'Sometimes, when we're doing a scene, I'm like, "I can't do this; I keep getting lost in the ocean of your eyes!"' Annabelle told us.

'He's like, "Stop being ridiculous!" I call him "chisel cheeks" because he's got the most incredible bone structure; it's like a joke.'

Cillian's cheekbones aside, we got to talking clothes, and it turned out that when Annabelle isn't tied into a corset for one of her many period drama roles, she loves dressing up.

'I'm actually very opulent in real life. If I get a chance to dress up, I really go for it. I went to read for a part in LA recently and the casting director emailed me saying, "Annabelle, please come in jeans and a T-shirt, as simple as possible. We know what you're like."'

And judging from how at home she looks in our Seventies-inspired shoot, we'd say this isn't the first time Annabelle's donned a pair of metallic trousers and faux fur jacket…

To see the rest of Annabelle's shoot, and to read the interview in full, pick up the November issue of InStyle which hits stores tomorrow.

In the meantime, watch an exclusive clip from the new series of Peaky Blinders which airs on Thursday on BBC2 at 9pm.
