Former Coronation Street star turned fashion boss Arianna Ajtar made the most of Manchester's sweltering heatwave - rocking a glamorous customised ensemble. Arianna has turned entrepreneur with her Mars the Label fashion brand since leaving the soap two years ago.
And she was pictured as she headed for a night out on the city's burgeoning Swan Street, sandwiched between the Northern Quarter and Ancoats districts. She was dressed for the weather in a stunning multi-coloured bra top and matching skirt, teamed with bright green sandals.
It appeared to show off her creative flair too. As the outfit was a customisation of a current Her Own design - but fashioned by Arianna into a bikini bra top to keep even cooler in the heatwave.
