Jennifer Hudson has revealed she spends her spare time "making clothes and knitting scarves".

The 'Sex and the City: The Movie' star - who stars as Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw's assistant Louise in the big screen adaptation of the hit US TV show - shares her character's love of fashion and adds to her collection whenever she has the chance.

She said: "I make clothes and knit scarves. But I really love purses!

"I'm a purse girl, not a shoe girl. I remember, I had a scene where you didn't see my feet. So I took my shoes off. But the director, Michael Patrick King, was like, 'Put those heels back on. You're not fully in character unless you're in heels.' He was serious. I had to put my heels back on. It's hard. The heels are mandatory!"

Jennifer also revealed she wasn't nervous about starring in the highly-anticipated movie, because she knew the actresses would accept her.

She added to USA Today magazine: "It's a family that already lived together, and they added me. They're fierce, and I get to be fierce and fabulous with them."

'Sex and the City: The Movie' is released worldwide this week.
