Maggie Gyllenhaal hates choosing her dresses for high-profile film premieres - because the press always criticizes her outfits.

The actress has admitted to having a few fashion mishaps when it comes to red carpet couture, and admits she has been left heartbroken by the media’s harsh critiques.

She tells the Marie Claire magazine, “Sometimes it freaks me out. I’ve been so hurt and felt so bad.”

But Gyllenhaal insists she is learning to accept the criticism, adding: “People will always say mean things about you if you put yourself out there.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal is quitting New York because she has been hounded out of the city by the paparazzi.

The actress, her fiance Peter Sarsgaard and daughter Ramona, have already abandoned Manhattan for more suburban Brooklyn, in a bid for more privacy.

But the Dark Knight star claims they may have to move further afield to escape intrusion.

Gyllenhaal tells Moviefone, “It’s a constant effort. When we moved out of the city, to Brooklyn, that helped a lot. Still, there will be paparazzi, but I just know. I will never take Ramona into SoHo, I will never ever take her into the West Village, because they’ll pounce on her. We’ll probably ultimately just move to the country. Then you come into the city, you know what to expect, there’ll be some paparazzi. I’ll go to an event, I’ll get dressed up, they can take my picture there (and) just have my family life be separate.”

New lingerie ads of Maggie Gyllenhaal have left the actress stunned - because she had no idea they’d be plastered all over New York.

The Secretary star is now having second thoughts about signing on as a spokesmodel for underwear giant Agent Provocateur last year after realizing what became of something she viewed as “an art project”.

She says, “I was looking at (my) Agent Provocateur ads with (husband) Peter (Sarsgaard), saying, ‘I don’t think I look like that. That underwear really is good!’ I couldn’t believe how it made me look. When they came out, though, I was a but surprised. Somehow I hadn’t understood that there’d be all these pictures of me out there in my underwear. I did it as an art project.”

In the steamy billboard ads, Gyllenhaal appears to be taking a bubble bath, wearing lingerie and handcuffs.

Maggie Gyllenhaal almost rejected her role in upcoming film The Dark Knight - until she was assured her casting was approved by Batman predecessor Katie Holmes.

Gyllenhaal - who plays the superhero’s love interest Rachel Dawes - stepped in after Holmes turned down the chance to reprise her role in 2005 film in Batman Begins.

The actress admits she was hesitant to accept the part until she knew she would have the freedom to create a new character for the role with Holmes’ blessing.

She says, “I wanted to be sure, first of all, that I had her blessing. And I was assured that I did. I’m a big fan of hers, I think she was really great in the first movie. And yet I felt like it wouldn’t have done anyone any good if I tried to imitate her. Really what I decided was that it had to be a whole new woman. If I’m going to do what I do well, I have to be free to do it.”
