Florence Welch thinks she will always be "slightly scruffy".

The Florence and the Machine singer has a keen interest in fashion but thinks she would find it impossible to ever look "polished".

She said: "I've always been interested in fashion and clothes, it's all part of who I am.

"I don't think I'll ever be polished. I'm just integrally slightly scruffy. You know you meet those women who are so cool? I'm striving for that so much. And I'm always too flustered."

Florence has been working with Karl Lagerfeld on his Chanel shows and the redhaired star admits she felt like a "jellyfish" alongside the catwalk models.

She said: "Did you see the way I walked out with Karl? All the models were like these beautiful sea anemones and seahorses and there I was like a big jellyfish going bloob bloob bloob."

Florence impressed Karl, who thinks she is a "genius".

He said: "When she sings in public, her voice goes much higher than on CD. I think she's a genius. She looks like a great English lady, but in fact is a very funny young girl.

"She's a wonderful singer."
