Katie Boulter loves style on court at Wimbledon
The 28-year-old British tennis ace loves the fact the tournament allows players to "express" themselves on the court and while she doesn't think she could pull off a particularly daring look, she's keen to walk out in an oversized blazer.
She told the Sunday Times' Style magazine: "I live for the Serena Williams long white train moment! That was epic in every way. She's probably the only person who could pull it off. I love that side of Wimbledon — it's not just about the tennis but also about the style, the tradition and expressing yourself.
"I've always wanted to walk out on centre court in a blazer, ever since I saw Roger [Federer] do it when I was a kid. Now oversized jackets are really in, I would love to rock up on court wearing an understated white blazer — that would be a moment."
Katie is "very into fashion" and enjoys moving away from sportswear when she isn't on court.
She said: "I have two sides to me: tennis Katie who loves to wear match clothes to get into game mode.
"Then there's this whole other side to me who is very into fashion, whether it's classic jeans and a nice top or a dress for date nights. I want to feel like a person who is something else besides a tennis player."
Katie has regular lash lifts because she doesn't think her mascara would stand up to the intensity of her time on court.
Asked her beauty essentials, she said: "Getting my LVL lash lift done. I don't want to wear mascara when I'm playing sports because I'm worried it'll streak everywhere. I've tried loads of tinted SPFs and they break me out, but since I discovered Shiseido Anessa suncare in Japan last year, it's the first thing I put on every day. It makes you look glowy but not too shiny."

Mark Gatiss is brilliant in this series - just don't call it cosy crime
Bookish ★★★★ Max Many a fictional detective has an extracurricular talent that feeds into their work; Sherlock Holmes and his violin; Inspector Morse and his crossword skills; Columbo's fluency in several languages. In Mark Gatiss' new crime series Bookish, the co-creator and co-writer of Sherlock stars as Gabriel Book, for whom the detective work is the extracurricular talent. Book is an eccentric antiquarian bookshop owner who is also adept at solving mysteries. He draws on his encyclopaedic literary knowledge to help figure out motives, methods and the psychology behind all manner of crimes. Book regularly helps out the local police, led by the affable Inspector Bliss (Elliot Levey), and if anybody queries his involvement, he tells them he 'has a letter from Churchill'. (A bit like Doctor Who's psychic paper, the mere mention of it seems to satisfy anybody who asks). Bookish is set in London in 1946, a less common setting for period drama; Gatiss, a long-time detective fan (as well as Sherlock he has adapted several of Agatha Christie's Poirot stories for British TV, and starred in the series Marple), has said it's a favourite time period of his, given the state of the world: women suddenly empowered (although expected to return to their kitchens), lots of weapons brought back by soldiers, a radical government, and a sense of hope. But no shortage of criminal activity. We first meet Book when a young man, Jack (Connor Finch), freshly released from prison, shows up for a job he's been given at the bookshop. Jack moves in with Book and his wife Trottie (Bridgerton 's Polly Walker), who runs a specialty wallpaper shop next door to the bookshop. Gabriel and Trottie seem very much in love – but they have a secret: theirs is a 'lavender marriage', the term given to a marriage where one or both parties are gay, when such a thing is illegal. The pair have long been best friends, having met as children, and Trottie is aware of Book's 'proclivities', which must be kept secret. Especially from the police he spends so much time with. Jack is initially daunted by both Book and his books (all of which are 'catalogued' in a manner as oddball as the man himself), and understandably baffled that the local coppers defer to Book on criminal matters. But he soon comes around – and learns that he hasn't been taken in by the couple by coincidence.

As a child, I was fascinated by clowns...' Liev Schreiber reveals inspiration for acting career
Liev Schreiber was inspired to become an actor by his passion for clowns and the circus as a child. The 57-year-old star has revealed he was always intrigued by clowns from his trips to the circus with his grandfather Alex Milgram - his mother Heather Milgram's father - and the first seeds of his career were shown when he wanted to entertain his family. In an interview with Italian publication IO Donna, he said: "As a child, I was fascinated by clowns and enjoyed entertaining my family . My mother was a bit of a hippie; she placed more importance on art than money: she was a taxi driver, and as soon as she had some, she'd spend it on taking us to the movies or the theatre." Liev insists his grandfather Alex - who emigrated to America from Ukraine and played the cello - was more of an influence and inspiration for him to go into acting than his dad, Tell Schreiber, who was an actor and theatre director. When asked what influence Tell had on him, Liev said: "Perhaps I was more inspired by the circus, where my grandfather took me. "At the exit, they sold little swords for children, and I remember playing with them in front of Madison Square Garden, thinking about The Legend of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. My parents separated when I was four, and I grew up mostly with my mother, who was a bit of a hippie socialist who even lived in squats; artistic education was more important than anything else. We went to a movie theatre on Eighth Street where they showed old black-and-white films, but I think I appreciated them more as I grew older." Liev - who has vivid memories of watching films starring Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers with his mother - is dad to 23-month-old daughter Hazel, his child with wife Taylor Neisen. The Ray Donovan star is enjoying being a father in his 50s and says children give you a solid grounding when you work in Hollywood. Liev - who has two teenage children from his relationship with British actress Naomi Watts - said: "I could have had a more relaxed life, but with a small child, you have to provide stability, respect sleep and meal times. "Children keep you grounded. When I had my first two, who are now 17 and 18, it was a strange time: my ex and I were the centre of attention, and success can make you lose your sense of reality. Children bring you back to what's truly important."
