Lucy Hale Says PLL's Aria Helped Her Embrace Her Personal Fashion Style

Lucy Hale keeps it cute in a coral colored sweater while picking up some coffee to go in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (October 4).

The 29-year-old actress recently opened up about how playing Aria Montgomery on Pretty Little Liars for eight years helped her take more risks in fashion.

“My style is not like hers, [so] playing her and dressing up as her everyday for eight years, it proved to me in a way that made me want to make bold choices and not live within these fashion rules,” Lucy shared in a recent interview.

She adds that “there are no rules, basically! You create your own rules for who you are and your sense of style is obviously the biggest reflection of your personality.”

“I used to be really timid about fashion, but just growing up in the business, and especially [Pretty Little Liars] in particular helped me to sort of take risks and not really care what anyone thought, whether it’s right or wrong.”
