WEARING a cerulean, single-shoulder draped design from RM by Roland Mouret, actress Amanda Seyfried attended the New York City premiere of her new movie Chloe. The standout colour compliments her fair complexion perfectly, and she cleverly let her dress shine by keeping accessories to a minimum with ankle-strap sandals, a patent clutch and a stack of bangles.

The Mamma Mia! star has come out painting a dismal picture of the realities of staying thin in Hollywood, confessing she sometimes has meals involving not much more than spinach to help her keep her weight down.

Looking slim and sexy in Esquire, she revealed her tiny figure is the end result of a miserable existence — namely a raw food diet she is not enjoying.

“It’s intense,” she told the magazine. “And sort of awful. Yesterday for lunch: spinach. Just spinach. Spinach and some seeds.”

“If I didn’t run and work out, there’s no way I would be this thin,” she told Glamour magazine in a separate interview.

“But I have to stay in shape because I’m an actress. It’s f-cked up and it’s twisted, but I wouldn’t get the roles otherwise.”

“If I’d been a bit bigger, I don’t think they would have cast me for Mamma Mia!“
