Sarandon's daughter says mom's fashion-challenged

10-09-2008 - 11:25

Eva Amurri says she has nothing in common with mother Susan Sarandon when it come to style.

"She is really very very very disinterested in fashion," Amurri said at the Tuesday night presentation of Max Azria's spring collection at New York Fashion Week. "She doesn't care. She wears her gym clothes from when she comes back from the gym until night. Sometimes she puts a jacket over it if I really beg her to, but she doesn't really care very much."

The 23-year-old actress is Sarandon's daughter with Italian filmmaker Franco Amurri. Sarandon, 61, has two other children by her longtime partner, actor Tim Robbins.

Amurri starred alongside Sarandon in the 2002 film "The Banger Sisters." Her other credits include the 2004 dark comedy "Saved!" and the upcoming "New York, I Love You."

She often pops up on red carpets in sophisticated dresses, and said she gravitates toward more classic styles.

If not from her mother, where did she get her love of dressing up?

"I have some good friends in fashion," she said Amurri, wearing a light brown blouse and black skirt. "I don't know, maybe seeing what they do and kind of learning about how artistic it is. The whole process has given me an appreciation I think."
