My Fair Lady: Corrie star Michelle Keegan is the epitome of sophistication as she dresses up for the Kildare races
|
She's recently been seen on screen looking depressed and dowdy as her character Tina McIntyre struggles to overcome giving away her surrogate baby.
However, actress Michelle Keegan looked a world away from her downcast Coronation Street persona as she attended the Irish Derby on Saturday.
Despite complaining about the disappointing weather, the 26-year-old certainly looked the part in her dress and hat as she arrived at the Kildare races.

The brunette beauty complemented her year-round tan in white patterned Kelly Love dress, which she teamed with a John Lewis hat and River Island heels.
She gave a bit colour to her ensemble with a bright pink Zara clutchbag.
Michelle paid a flying visit to Kildare - 60 kilometres outside of the Irish capital Dublin - on Saturday to judge the Best Dressed Lady.
