, who is playing the supermodel in upcoming film Moss And Freud, appeared in a trailer released yesterday showing off genuine items of clothing borrowed from Kate's impressive wardrobe.

The actress, 29, recreates Moss's topless appearance in a 1994 show, wearing little more than a striped mini skirt and a Napoleonesque blue hat.

Bamber did not forget the Magnum ice cream eaten by Moss on the runway – she is seen holding one aloft in a brief flash of images in the trailer.

In the film, the actress can be spotted posing in Moss's black halterneck mini dress, which the model wore to New York's Danziger Gallery for the launch of The Kate Moss Book, a photo collection, in 1995.

And Bamber borrows Moss's Union Jack jacket, which she wore for a John Galliano show in 1992, when she was just 19.

At the time, Moss was on the cusp of fame, about to appear on her breakthrough British Vogue cover.

Moss And Freud, due to be released in cinemas on May 29, focuses on the volatile but deep friendship between the model, now 52, and late artist Lucian Freud, played by Derek Jacobi, 87.

The plot follows the story of how, in 2002, a then 80-year-old Freud came to paint a naked portrait of Moss while she was pregnant with her daughter Lila.

The pair worked together over nine months of late-night sittings, from 7pm to 2am, three times a week.

The resulting artwork sold for £3.5 million at Christie's.

The film imagines the intensity of the endeavour – and their relationship. 'If I were to paint you, I need absolute commitment,' Freud demands in the trailer.
