EXCLUSIVE: Return of the 'fro! Lucy Mecklenburgh shows off her svelte frame (and voluminous hair) in a slinky orange evening gown for new high-fashion shoot
|
She caused a stir last week when she stepped out with a positively hair-raising new 'do.
But it would seem Lucy Mecklenburgh's voluminous style wasn't in vain, and was in fact for a high-fashion new shoot that could take her career in a completely new direction.
The 21-year-old reality star was sporting the afro locks for a series of test shots for Select Model Management, where she has recently been signed.

Working her magic in front of the camera, the TOWIE beauty showed off her svelte figure in a striking tangerine lace evening gown with cascading ruffle detail.
With the chic orange dress clinging to her hourglass shape, the brunette bombshell ditched her usual deep tan in favour of a perfect porcelain look that was far more conducive to her stylish new image.
Lucy accessorised with a thick gold cuff bracelet, while wearing fluro green eyeshadow and dramatic eyeliner flicks to complement her voluminous hairstyle.

In a number of other shots, the Essex beauty pouted into the distance as she showcased a disco-inspired peach one-shoulder dress, paired with huge oversized earrings and a think white belt to accentuate her tiny waist.
A final snap saw Lucy look over her shoulder seductively as she posed in a striking plunging back emerald green gown.
The TOWIE star was first spotted out and about with her afro-style hairdo last Wednesday when she left the high-fashion shoot for Select Model Management in central London.

And the look was so startling that one male passer-by couldn't help but gawp in amazement.
But Lucy seemed to love her shocking new look, writing on her Twitter page: 'Just putting it out there ... I love my new fro.'
However, it appeared that despite her previous protestations, the pretty brunette didn't love her new style enough to keep it for more than one day, and was spotted getting it brushed out and relaxed back to its normal look on Thursday morning in Brentwood, Essex.
Since splitting from former fiance, Mario Falcone, in April, Lucy has been throwing herself into a rigorous diet and exercise regime.

Hair-rasing! The brunette beauty was so impressed with her foxy new 'do that she posted a 'selfie' on her Twitter and Instagram pages last week
And her impressive physique of late is thanks to her Results With Lucy programme, which focuses on problem areas like bottoms and tummies by using a mixture of cardio and strength training.
Speaking about her changing figure, she said recently: 'I noticed a difference in myself, I felt healthier, had lots more energy, I was more toned.
'I've lost all my cellulite, my body feels amazing and I've even started to get little abs.'
