And the 24-year-old was surprised at just how good she looked in the designer togs.
The Lip Service and Being Victor actress, who is up for a Breakthrou Star of the Year Award, said: "I'm n label queen and tend to make a lot own clothes by customising things in vintage shops like Mr Ben in Glasow.
"But I've got to admit, I was quite impressed with the way I looked in designer gear."
Laura is one of the nominees in t running for "most stylish" honours awards, which are being held on Sa at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Galler Museum.
She revealed: "A few months ago, named as one of the worst dressed US edition of Cosmopolitan.
"It's nice that some people give m credit for just being myself." me Scottish Style Awards organiser M McGowne said: "Laura is a free spir Mary rit and her unique take on fashion is a breath of fresh air."
Laura, meanwhile, can't wait to make her big screen debut and added: "I can't believe I'm going to be in such a big movie. The script is amazing and it is going to be my grittiest role to date."
The actress, who read Ferris's autobiography 10 years ago, thinks she was destined for the role.
She said: "I found Paul's book really interesting but had no idea that a decade on I would be starring in the movie. It must be fate."
