She’s still a relative newlywed after marrying property tycoon Nick Candy last September.
But it seems Holly Candy is not about to turn into a dowdy housewife anytime soon.
The 29-year-old pulled out all the stops as she attended the London Critics' Circle Film Awards on Sunday looking glamorous in her animal inspired outfit at The May Fair hotel.
Wild thing: Holly Valance went for an animal inspired look at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards on Sunday
The former Neighbours star wrapped up against the cold in a brown fur coat, with shortened sleeves.
She teamed the cosy-looking number with a leopard print dress which fell just above her knees.
When she went inside and removed her coat the full effect of the wild number could be enjoyed and the lace detail on it was apparent.
Keeping warm: Holly wore a fur coat over her dress to keep warm in the cold weather
Laced up: Holly's dress, which fell just above her knees, featured lace detail over the leopard print
Her slender calves were left on display as she opted to go bare-legged and she added a touch of sparkle with a pair of gold heels.
Holly accessorised with a small gold clutch bag which looked great beside her perfectly manicured pale pink nails.
The stars newly dyed brunette hair complimented the outfit perfectly and really set off the brown hues.

Despite dressing to impress Holly wasn’t joined for the occasion by her husband, instead she rubbed shoulders with a plethora of actors.
The ceremony was attended by Emily Blunt, Helena Bonham Carter and her husband Tim Burton, Les Misérables star Samantha Banks and British stars Toby Jones and Dexter Fletcher.
Helena had a lot to smile about on the red carpet as she was presented with the Dilys Powell award for excellence in film, the highest honour of the evening.

'It feels like a rash. It suddenly seems like I’ve got a contagion of diseases, I mean awards. But it’s nice, it’s a nice feeling,' joked the actress.
'It’s so weird, because I’m only 46. A lifetime achievement award... it feels like ‘I’m not over yet’. I hope they’re not trying to say it’s time to stop. I’m only just getting the gist of it,' she added.
Big winners of the evening included French film Amour, which picked up The Sky Movies Award for Film of the Year, Toby Jones who won British Actor of the Year and Andrea Riseborough who was awarded Best Actress.
