She can do sophisticated! Helen Flanagan ditches the bun and bright pink as she showcases her stylish side


She likes to experiment with her look, which  usually involves trying on different shades of pink.
But on Saturday Helen Flanagan showed she really can switch things up when she wants to – and for the better. 
The actress ditched her trademark bun, slipped on a chic blazer and looked the picture of sophistication as she headed to the nail salon.

Opting for smooth tresses, the 22-year-old made the most of her very blonde hair as it fell to her shoulders.
    Showing off her enviable figure, which has helped her land plenty of jobs over the years, she wore a pair of skintight jeans. 
    Elongating them either further she wore a pair of sling back heels, that were perhaps a little too dressy for a trip to a beauty salon.

    She completed her look with a cream blazer and a large leopard print scarf which she wrapped around her neck to keep her warm.
    Helen looked happy and healthy, perhaps looking forward to an afternoon of pampering. 
    It seems the WAG is making the most of her free time at the moment as she is gearing up to make her big screen debut.

    Earlier this month it was revealed that she had landed a role in a gritty project entitled Bitch - about a victim of bullying.
    Speaking about the part , Helen said: 'It's really gritty and it's terrible actually because it's based on a true story. It’s tragic. The girls who did it are in prison now.'
    But following the film, Helen is keen to try her luck in a more comedic role.

    Asked if she'd ever return to her role as Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, Helen said: 'Yeah, I'd never rule anything out. Obviously my character was a comedy character and it's really sweet when people say they miss me on Corrie.
    'Comedy is something that I'd like to get into.'
    Helen also revealed that she's open to the idea of doing more reality TV after appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year, and says the experience has boosted her self-confidence and helped rid her of her anxiety.
    She added to Star magazine: 'I really enjoyed doing 'I'm a Celebrity'... because when I left Coronation Street I wasn't in the best place, and I just wanted a break from everything.
    'So when that came up I just saw it as a great opportunity and it gave me my confidence back. It was really nice when people tell me that they loved me in that, it does give you confidence.
    'The good thing about reality TV is that you're just being yourself.'
