Hilary Duff has revealed she always takes an impressive shoe collection with her on tour - because sometimes she needs cute footwear to feel better about herself.

She told People magazine recently: “When you’re on tour - except for at night because you get dressed up for the show - normally you look so gross. You just throw on sweats and don’t do anything with yourself until the show.”

“After about a month of that you’re like, ‘I feel like a man. I need to be cute.’ So I have to have cute [shoe] options and put a little effort into it.”

She added her dogs are also on her essentials list: “I bring my two dogs with me. It’s hard because you’re in a different hotel room almost every day and it’s just so impersonal. I’m definitely a homebody so having them there makes it more comfortable.”
