Jessica Alba felt like she was 'dreaming' when she first attended the Oscars.

The 31-year-old beauty - who has daughters Honor, four, and 18-month-old Haven with husband Cash Warren - can still remember the surreal experience of being at the Academy Awards for the first time in 2008 and thinks being pregnant on the red carpet made the ceremony even more enjoyable.

Speaking at the grand opening of the Tommy Hilfiger West Coast Flagship on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles on Wednesday (13.02.13), Jessica told BANG Showbiz: 'My first time at the Oscars I literally felt like I was in a dream the whole time.

'At the same time I was pregnant with Honor, my first daughter, so that was awesome and memorable. I was thinking the whole time, she's going to have these pictures of her at the Oscars. Sort of.'

Jessica is a fan of Tommy Hilfiger's 'fresh' ideas and feels she can relate to the designer's charitable side as she and her husband are both firm believers in helping those less fortunate than themselves.

She continued: 'I love the vibe, I love how young, fresh and fun Tommy's designs are. I also love that he supports great causes.

'Cash is here representing the charity LIFT [Labour in Faith and Trust], I'm here representing [LA-based baby and children's charity] Baby2Baby, and Tommy does all this work to promote art in schools. I love his passion for children and fashion.'
