As a glamorous Essex girl she's used to looking good.
But reality star Lydia Bright put in some extra effort for her 22nd birthday on Saturday night.
She wore an unusual cape-like dress during a celebratory night out with friends and family in London.
Strike a pose: Lydia looked glamorous in an unusual red dress during a night out with friends and family to celebrate her 22nd birthday in London on Saturday
Former The Only Way is Essex star Lydia dressed up for her birthday celebrations in a floor-length red gown which trailed behind her as she walked.
Her arms were bare as she arrived at London's STK restaurant and she clutched a small black purse in her hand.
Lydia tied her blonde hair up behind her head and looked happy to be eating out at the steakhouse.

Minding her step: Lydia walked carefully across some slippery melting snow as she tried her best to stay on her feet following a this weekend's snowstorm in the UK
The star was out with her friends and family including mother Debbie, father 'Dave the Tiler', former TOWIE co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh and boyfriend Tom Kilbey.
And while Lydia looked delighted to be out with her loved ones, she admits she feels older than her years.
Ahead of her birthday meal, she tweeted: 'My actually birthday is tomorrow cant believe i'm only gonna be 22 feel like I have been on this planet for 50 years. (sic)'

However, the television star is delighted with what she's achieved in the last year and since rising to fame on ITV2 show TOWIE.
She added: 'My goal last year was to design a clothing range & buy a house & I did it :D my goal this year is to live & work abroad #workhardplayhard (sic).'
And while her appearance on TOWIE may have opened up opportunities for Lydia, she admits she left the show last year because of boyfriend Tom.

She recently told Reveal: 'It's been really hard for Tom to watch me on TOWIE.
'So that's why, in order to move forward, I had to make the decision to leave because it was putting a strain on us and making things awkward.'
And despite the difficulties it's caused in her relationship, Lydia has no regrets about taking part in the series.
A family affair: Lydia was joined by her mother Debbie and a large group of friends of family for her celebratory birthday night out
She said: 'I believe everything you go through in life happens for a reason and you have to learn from your mistakes.
'If I hadn't got together with [ex-boyfriend] James [Argent], I probably wouldn't have been introduced to TOWIE, then I wouldn't have met Tom and I wouldn't have been able to do so well with my fashion career.'

Like many people on their birthday, Billie Faiers knew there would be lot of eating, drinking and cake as she turned 23.
However, the excesses of the night certainly didn't appear to influence her choice of outfit as the Only Way Is Essex star stepped out on Saturday in a very tight ensemble.
The clothing boutique owner showed off her famous 30H cleavage in a black and grey Celeb Boutique bralet and matching skirt as she enjoyed a night of bar-hopping in London's West End.

Joining the birthday girl was her little sister and TOWIE co-star Sam, who attended with boyfriend Joey Essex.
While club promoter Joey was in his signature tight jeans, Sam went for an '80s sexy secretary style in a black and white striped blouse and pencil skirt.
Billie's escort for the night was her businessman boyfriend Greg Shephard, 27,

Billie started off her night with dinner at Burger Lobster, before moving on to the bar at the W Hotel in Leicester Square, and ending her night in Cafe De Paris a few yards away.
At 3am, it looked like Joey may have been finding it hard to find a taxi willing to make the 30-mile trip back to Brentwood in the poor weather conditions.
He tweeted: 'Stranded in London town!'

However, the birthday girl appeared to be better prepared and had booked a hotel for the night with her boyfriend Greg.
Earlier on Saturday evening, she had tweeted about how excited Greg was by their en-suite.
She wrote: 'Oh no ... My boyfriends just discovered the shower in the hotel room is also a steam room ! I cant get hime (sic) out of it ! #bigkid.'
