Whether she wears her hair up or down, Amber Heard always stuns when she walks the red carpet.

The 27-year-old often wears her hair in a stylish bun as she's done for several movie premieres, including her latest for Paranoia in August. At that premiere, Heard complemented her look with an ocean blue gown. Other times she lets her long hair down and adds some curls.

Yet, despite her gorgeous looks on the red carpet, Heard doesn't want to be confined to playing characters that focus on beauty.

"I try to play characters who are somehow empowered or strong," Heard recently told Elle magazine. "People want to put me in a wedding dress and make me the object of affection, but I'd much rather shoot the gun and save the world. I've always fought against what was expected of me as much as I could."

The London Fields star also has a different attitude when it comes to her relationship with Johnny Depp. While they have yet to confirm that they are an item, Depp and Heard have been linked since 2012.

"I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path," she told the magazine when asked about Depp. "In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot."
