Accentuating her natural beauty with just a hint she let her brunette tresses cascade to her shoulders.
She told the publication: 'I don't want her [Emily] to be seen as the kooky rebel, who goes off on this adventure of self-discovery to smoke pot, have sex and find herself'.
'I don't think she would have thought, 'Oh, I'm being so feminist right now,' It's more complicated and also more pure than that. She exists in her own right.'

Emma continued: 'The whole story is about a woman working out how not to be stuck - and I think that's a pretty good place to start. Emily definitely figured out how to write'. 
'She writes one novel, it's a masterpiece, and then she pops her clogs. As for figuring herself or her life out, we'll actually never know. Which is quite wonderful.' 
Filmed on location in Yorkshire she gushed: 'I grew up in France but was raised on period dramas, so it was always my dream to run around the moors in a crinoline'.

'Sex Education is so momentous as a concept, as a show, and the cast are phenomenal,' she said in an interview with Hunger.
'I genuinely care about them all a lot and I made lifelong friends. But the bittersweet nature of it is that I also can't be 17 my whole life.'
Emily is released in cinemas nationwide on October 14
