He told reporter Simon Boyle: 'I have a very wonderful stylist in the form of my wife.

'I’m colour blind, so occasionally I’ll go for things that are slightly outlandish and she’ll temper me back into the world of taste.

'What’s wonderful if you’re an actor, and you get to go to these events, is that there are very ­brilliant people who work at these fashion houses who have astounding taste and they guide you in the right direction. I can't take much credit'.

The news comes just days after Eddie and his pregnant partner were seen packing on the PDA during a low-key shopping spree in Los Angeles, California, earlier in the week.

The Academy Award-winning actor was pictured tenderly kissing his beloved partner as they strolled along Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, following a lunch at Gjusta, arm-in-arm.

The 34-year-old acted every inch the doting partner as he was seen pulling Hannah close for a sweet kiss during their relaxed outing.

The two were sartorially in sync in various hues of blue, with Eddie opting for a plaid shirt and dark jeans, while Hannah went for a woollen navy cover up over a blue and navy striped top.

It's been a hugely successful last couple of years for Eddie, who won the Best Actor gong at last year's Oscars for his star turn in the Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything.

The star's role in The Danish Girl saw him nominated for Best Actor again, but he was beaten to it by Leonardo DiCaprio, who won for his showstopping performance in The Revenant. 

Speaking at The Film is GREAT Reception two days before the Oscars, the actor confessed: 'In my mind it is pretty much certainly Leo's year and ​he really deserve​s​ it. I am going along to enjoy the night.'

Eddie, who was accompanied once again by Hannah, added: 'To be nominated again is just the greatest honour and especially in that company of actors.

'I am not getting carried away. I still pinch myself about last year, let alone what is happening again.'
