Marcia Cross admits her daughters have inherited her lack of fashion sense. The Desperate Housewives actress says two-year-old twins Eden and Savannah like boring clothes and have no interest in adventurous garments.

She told US TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "I'm a terrible dresser. Everything you see me in is made up from somebody else. "I thought maybe these girls will have a little something going on. So I was like, 'Whatever you want to wear...' "But I have one who will only wear navy blue from head-to-toe - that's Savannah, who we call Savvy. Socks, underwear, leggings, shirt and navy blue ties in her hair. Eden will only wear a green shirt and black pants. It looks like I'm a really boring dresser and I dress my kids that way, but truthfully it was their choice."

Cross - whose husband Tom Mahoney is battling cancer - recently revealed she insists on giving her children healthy meals.

"I keep them away from junk food," she said. "They don't know about cookies yet so everything they eat is healthy. They've had a bite of an organic cupcake for their birthday but it's always healthy foods - especially now before they find out about junk food."
