Halle Berry's husband Olivier Martinez "calls her out" on her clothing if he doesn't like what she's wearing.
The 48-year-old actress has admitted she has become a lot more careful about what she wears since tying the knot with the French actor in July 2013 because she insists women in his homeland don't dress as casually as she is used to.
She said: "I have definitely changed as a result of being married to a French husband.
"French women would not put their sweats on and run out to the market. So I care more about what I wear out of the house, because if not, he calls me out on it."
Halle - who has 12-month-old son Maceo with Olivier - also hinted she feels the need to wear matching underwear because she believes French women think long and hard about what briefs to wear on a daily basis.
Speaking to Yahoo Style, she added: "They put a lot of energy into their outerwear, but also their underwear.
"They're not going to get caught in an emergency room without being prepared."
However, this has inspired the star - who also has six-year-old daughter Nahla from her five-year relationship with model Gabriel Aubry - to recently re-launch lingerie brand Scandale at affordable prices.
Speaking about the organisation, she said: "I thought, 'Who can really afford expensive underwear?' "

Kate Bush's former home is up for sale for £3 million.
The property on Eltham's Court Road in London, south east England - where the 'Wuthering Heights' hitmaker lived for nearly twenty years from 1985 until 2003 - has been put on the market for the huge sum.
The current owner of the house, Jackie O'Reilly, said: "I grew up in Eltham, and we always knew it as Kate Bush's house, and caught odd glimpses of her. But she clearly valued her privacy. The house is surrounded by large trees, to keep out the prying eyes."
Since moving into the house 10 years ago, Jackie and her family have made a number of changes including landscaping the garden, installing a summer house and fish pond and putting a wrought iron 'Wuthering Heights' sign on the front gate.
She explained: "The house was already called that in the title deeds, so we decided to put that in as an homage to Kate."
Referring to another feature of the property, Jackie added to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Kate has long since moved out of the area, but we catch sight of her from time to time. Her brother still lives next door, and there is a gate between the two gardens."

Annoushka Ducas feels "very proud and very honoured" to count Britain's Duchess Catherine as a customer.
The designer's jewellery brand Annoushka is a favourite of the duchess - who was pictured in a pair of the company's 18ct yellow, gold and white pearl drop earrings again last week - and the entrepreneur thinks her famous customer always looks "great" in her pieces.
She said: "[Catherine] looked radiant, elegant and eternally stylish. The pearls are very easy to wear and they look great on her.
"I feel very proud and very honoured to have her as a customer."
As well as the earrings, Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage to Prince William - also owns another pear of pearl earrings and a diamond eternity ring from the brand, and it is believed she bought all three as gifts for herself.
The duchess is a regular visitor to Annoushka's store, but is also sent pieces to try at home before making her purchases.
Annoushka told People magazine: "She pops in unannounced and very quietly looks at what she's after and then goes away again. It's all very low-key.
"She's just so delightful and just very easy to talk to, very easygoing actually."
As well as Catherine, Annoushka - who co-founded Links of London, another jewellery firm the duchess is fond of - counts her mother Carole Middleton and sister Pippa among her customers.

Andre Benjamin didn't prepare for the role of Jimi Hendrix just by "getting high".
The Outkast star - also know as Andre 3000 - portrays the famous rocker during his early years in the upcoming biopic 'Jimi: All By My Side' and claims that although he's received criticism for taking on the role of a 20-something at the age of 37, he thinks it benefited the film.
Explaining that his maturity helped him to interpret Jimi with more subtlety, Andre said: "I wasn't thinking I could pull it off by just getting high, you know?"
He added to The Sunday Times newspaper: "I think there should be hundreds of Hendrix movies, because there are so many stories to tell...We were just doing a different kind of thing."
Meanwhile, the now 39-year-old star - who has son Seven Sirius, 16, with the singer Erykah Bafdu - admits his personality means he's gone through many different phases in life.
He shared: "Well, I'm a Gemini, so there have been times in my life when I've gone there, and I've done drugs. Then I've been a strict vegan, or vegetarian, for a couple of years. It's that dichotomy you know? I guess you could just call it being a human."

'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' will conclude with a 45-minute battle sequence.
The news has been confirmed by acclaimed director Peter Jackson, who's assured fans of the trilogy that measures are being put in place to ensure they do not suffer "battle fatigue".
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the 52 year old explained: "We have a rule that we're not allowed more than two or three shots of anonymous people fighting without cutting back to our principal characters.
"Otherwise the audience just ends up with battle fatigue."
The New Zealander explained that a great deal of preparatory work went into the spectacular battle scenes, which take place at the bottom of the Lonely Mountain.
Jackson - who also directed 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy - said: "We had to design the landscape itself and figure out, 'OK, if we have 10,000 orcs, how much room are they going to take up?'
"'Are they going to fill up the valley or look like a speck?' Then we could start drawing the arrows on the schematics."
He said, too, that eagles will play a role in the battle scenes, but not in the way fans have come to expect.
Jackson remarked: "[author J.R.R.] Tolkien uses eagles in a way that can be kind of awkward because they tend to show up out of the blue and change things pretty quickly.
"So here they're just part of the plan, not the saviours. I mean, I do realise that if the eagles had just been able to bring Frodo to Mount Doom in 'Lord of the Rings' and let him drop the ring in, those movies would have been much shorter."

Mick Fleetwood loves Fleetwood Mac more than he's ever loved any of his wives.
The co-founder of the legendary rock band has confessed that although he married three times - and had numerous affairs - his love for music is unsurpassed.
Asked whether this is the case, he told The Sunday Telegraph newspaper: "I think it has been, yes. I didn't consciously think that, but when you put together a book like this [his new autobiography 'Play On'] there is a lot of pain.
"Jenny [Boyd, his first wife] helped me write the book and there's lots of stuff I don't think I even knew about Jenny. I wanted and needed to go there."
The 67-year-old star also revealed he feels "haunted" by Peter Green, the band's founder who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Speaking about Peter's illness - which has been blamed on the amount of LSD he took - Mick said: "He haunts me. His illness could have come on without any drugs. He was incredible sensitive. You would never have known how much Peter was suffering. We never knew he was in a whole heap of trouble.
"We never had the tools of recognition because he still seemed like Peter, and when the transition came, it was something that pushed him over the edge. This delicate, incredibly sensitive person was already asking himself questions."
The 'Go Your Own Way' hitmaker admits he and his bandmates - Stevi Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and John and Christine McVie - should have realised the seriousness of the situation from some of Peter's lyrics.
He explained: "He wrote a song, 'Man of the World'. It's terribly sad. There are words in it, 'I just wish I'd never been born'. We should have realised but we just didn't know."

Sam Smith will use "sad" dating failures to inspire his next album.
The 'Money On My Mind' hit maker is penning tracks for his second album - the follow-up to his successful debut 'In The Lonely Hour' - and he admitted he'll have no shortage of stories of heartbreak to draw on for the LP.
Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper, he said: "Honest songs make the best songs in my opinion. Whether they're sad or happy, they've just got to be truthful and relatable.
"I can always find reasons to be sad in life. So I'll have plenty to inspire the next album. I've been dating and stuff, which is great so I'll definitely be talking about that on my new material."
The singer - who is openly gay - also admitted he has struggled to meet potential lovers and even wishes fans would flirt with him to make it "easier".
He added: "I haven't met the one yet. And no, I don't have fans propositioning me ever. But I wish I did. That would make things a lot easier. I'm afraid that just hasn't happened."

Joey Essex claims a ghost once talked to him.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star appears in 'Educating Joey Essex: Reem Halloween' to mark the spooky holiday this Friday (31.10.14) and claims that while he didn't encounter any supernatural forces when filming the special episode for definite, he was once approached by a ghost in his house who tried to communicate with him.
Talking on ITV's 'This Morning', he revealed: "I thought I saw one [during filming] ... but I feel like I've seen a ghost before anyway. I saw one in my house once I think - it was just sitting next to me, trying to talk to me about life!"
He added: "I went to this massive castle place (in the series) ... and apparently it was well haunted and there were ghosts running about all the time, but it's hard to believe, but after watching 'Reem Halloween' I think people will more believe in it. It'll make people believe in spirits more definitely."
The haunted 24-year-old television personality went on to talk about a concoction which was brewed for him by a witch while making the programme, which he hopes will improve his romantic prospects following his split from on/off girlfriend Sam Faiers.
He explained: "She said to me the potion was to make me more cleverer and luckier in life, so I had to cut a bit of my hair off and put it in a potion.
"I don't like people messing with my hair but I just thought I had to get on with it so I done it. (sic)"
'Educating Joey Essex: Reem Halloween' airs on Friday on ITV2 at 9pm.

Gloria Hunniford would "love" to have a facelift.
The 74-year-old star made the admission she'd like to go under the knife to look younger while discussing plastic surgery with her fellow 'Loose Women' panellists - Kay Adams, Sherrie Hewson and Jane Moore.
What is stopping Gloria from going ahead is that she cannot morally justify having a cosmetic procedure after watching her late daughter Caron Keating fight and ultimately lose her battle with breast cancer, a real reason to go to hospital.
Speaking on the live episode that aired on ITV today (27.10.14), she said: "Having watched my daughter Karen with real medicine for several years and real hospitals for a real reason, I can't get myself around doing something purely for cosmetic reasons. So it's a bit of a head job I'd have to do on myself but I'd love it, I would."
Gloria also revealed she is delighted that L'Oreal has made Dame Helen Mirren the face of their new advertising campaign at the age of 69, because she gets "irritated" by beauty ads featuring young women marketing products they don't need.
Gloria said: "I get so irritated by ads for cosmetics being 18 or 19 year olds, beautifully airbrushed, perfect. I think it's wonderful that we have Helen, that we have Jane Fonda, we've had Diane Keaton doing some cosmetics, I think it's good. Older women to reign!"

Jake Quickenden feels "let down" after not being given the opportunity to play the guitar on 'X Factor'.
The 26-year-old was booted off the ITV singing contest on Sunday (26.10.14) after finding himself in the bottom two with quartet Only the Young, and is saddened by the decision to send him home as he thought he performed well.
Speaking on 'This Morning', he said: "I maybe didn't perform to my best on Saturday, and that's why I'm sat here. But I didn't think it was as bad as the judges made out.
"There were a few bad notes but when you're on the stage in front of 10 million people and you [feel like] you've got a gobstopper at the back of your throat, it's hard to sing to your best. It really is. It's so nerve-racking."
The pop hopeful - who performed a rendition of Daniel Merriweather's 'Red' in Sunday's sing-off - also lamented his exit from the show because he had not been given the chance to play his guitar on stage.
He continued: "I'm a bit let down I didn't get to show myself at my full ability. With a guitar."
Despite having only just left the talent show, the hunk is already thinking about the next steps in his career and is more determined than ever to succeed.
He added: "I'm not the kind of person to give up, so I'm going to keep slogging at it, and if you want something hard enough and as much as I do then I'll keep working and hopefully it'll come.
"I'm willing to get my fingers in anything and hopefully I will and the future might be bright."
Next weekend's Halloween 'X Factor: Fright Night' will see the remaining contestants battle it out once more, with performances from judge Cheryl Cole and 35-year-old singer/songwriter John Legend on the results show on Sunday evening (02.11.14).

Neil Patrick Harris was more concerned about Rosamund Pike "feeling comfortable" than people seeing his manhood when they were filming a sex scene.
The pair spent two days shooting a steamy scene for their latest movie 'Gone Girl', in which their characters have sex, and while the 41-year-old actor - who is married to David Burtka - insists he didn't really want anyone to look at his member, he was more worried about the blonde beauty being exposed.
Speaking in an interview with Conan O'Brien on his chat show 'Conan', which airs on truTV tonight (27.10.14), he said: "I was honestly more concerned about Rosamund Pike because we were having sex in the scene.
"I wanted to make sure that she in her own state of disrobedness felt comfortable and didn't feel weird, and make sure no one really, really saw my wang.
"You don't mind a little, like a hint of the wang. A long, a long moment of wang, you're conscious of that. I'm fine if you see my butt and stuff like that, but you know, don't get the camera too low."
But, ultimately, the star - who plays Desi, the ex-girlfriend of Rosamund's character Amy in the film - insists actors and actresses simply have to "deal with" sex scenes as they are all part of the job.
He added: "It wasn't like we were in the musical 'Hair' or something like that dancing around totally naked.
"There were moments where that happened and it was disarming to just, there was just, your butt is out there. There is the camera crew and that's your butt. That had to happen. You just deal with it."
UK viewers can watch Neil's interview on 'Conan' at 11pm tonight (27.10.14), on truTV (freeview channel 68) - the home of larger than life characters in real situations.
