She calls herself the “Antichrist of Fashion’.

And Helena Bonham Carter certainly lives up to her self-proclaimed title in this bizarre outfit.

The pregnant actress sported a particularly frumpy skirt, striped Nora Batty-style long socks and wedge-heeled bovver boots on a trip out in London.

Oscar-nominated Helena, 41 - who is expecting her second child in December with film director Tim Burton - appeared to be practising her deep-breathing techniques.

For the star, the ensemble was just another example of her ’shambles chic’ that has seen the Harry Potter actress become a regular in the worst-dressed fashion lists.

Ironically, Helena built her career playing well dressed and tightly-bodiced women in Eighties period costume dramas such as Howards End and Room With A View.

But fashion expert Karen Kay said: “Outside movies, Helena has never been known for a polished sense of style and could politely be described as an English eccentric.

“Dressing through pregnancy was always going to throw up some interesting concoctions.”
