The actress, who hit the N.Y.C. premiere of 21 in a simple strapless Calvin Klein dress, says her wardrobe choices are “very much based on my mood. Sometimes I feel more bold, sometimes I feel more shy. Sometimes I feel experimental, even if I think some people may [or may not] like it. It doesn t matter. And I actually think it s interesting to step outside the box.”

In China, the actress chose her two-tone Fendi fur coat for a very practical reason. “I wasn’t going to wear this jacket, [but] it was absolutely freezing!” she says.

Also on her trip to China with Fendi, the star went for a more relaxed vibe in her swingy dress. “I love this. It s kind of that boyish, sexy vibe. And the Fendi shoes were really fun. And I loved wearing the tie.”

What’s better than a custom-made dress from New York’s hottest designers? Apparently nothing, as Bosworth tells PEOPLE of her 7th on Sale dress, “I felt bold and sexy. That dress was made by my very good friends Jack and Lazaro of Proenza Schouler.”
