Tropes in her work include:
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: She has naturally prominent dark eyebrows that stand out from her sandy hair which are kept in all her screen roles.
- Fake American: She's played American characters sometimes, with an okay accent (though it slips at times).
- I Am Very British: Most of her roles have her use her natural RP accent, with the effect of her characters sounding very plummy and posh even when it's not intended.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her characters often show skin, frequently with Lingerie Scenes and occasionally sex scenes, usually providing most of the fanservice of the work she's in (if not the only example). This is not too surprising, as she's a model.
- Statuesque Stunner: As befits a former model, she's pretty tall at 5'8 and very beautiful.
- Vocal Dissonance: Her deep, regal voice is a sharp contrast with her doe-eyed appearance and delicate features.
