Liv Tyler’s greatest luxuries and most treasured possession­s

IF YOU COULD WAKE UP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TOMORROW, WHERE WOULD YOU BE?

Right where I am. I’m visiting this beautiful place in Austria on a lake by a mountain. It’s one of the most stunning places I have ever been to in my life. It’s like a Disney movie.

YOU ARE SITTING DOWN TO THE PERFECT MEAL. WHERE ARE YOU, WHO ARE YOU WITH, AND WHAT ARE YOU EATING?

I would like to be in Italy having dinner with Bernardo Bertolucci, who directed me in Stealing Beauty when I was just 18. He passed away recently, and I am thinking of him a lot, and wish I had more time with him. We could be eating amazing pasta.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?

I’m not sure. I have quite a few strange little things that mean the world to me that I have picked up along the way. They would mean nothing to anyone else, but mean everything to me.

WHAT IS LIFE’S GREATEST LUXURY?

Time.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TIME OF DAY?

Evenings with my children. Home together. Dinner, bath, stories, snuggles.

WHAT IS THE MOST TREASURED ITEM IN YOUR WARDROBE?

A black feathered cape made for me by my friend Lee McQueen. It’s incredible.

WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO BEAUTY PRODUCT?

A Givenchy lipstick called Perfect Pink.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE HOLIDAY DESTINATIO­N?

I love travelling and going on new adventures. There is always something amazing to discover. This year my favourites have been The Mayr clinic in Austria, Soneva Fushi in the Maldives and New Orleans.

WHAT IS THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN?

Oh, that’s hard. There are so many good ones that I have picked up from so many great people. My grandmothe­r has some amazing ones. She always says: ‘Everyone has a song in their heart, but you have to sing it and get it out.’ I think it means don’t let too much time go by without living your true dream in your heart. You will regret it if you don’t do it.

AND WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUR 20-YEAR-OLD SELF?

Go to university. Take those few years when you are young to cram in as much knowledge and learning as you can.
