Helen Flanagan looks stunning as she channels classic glamour before showing reality

Helen Flanagan has dazzled her followers as she channeled some serious glamour during a dress try-on at home. The former Coronation Street actress took to Instagram to show off her stunning look earlier this week.

Posing at home, the video she shared with her millions of followers shows the mum-of-three donning a sparkling, blue beaded dress, which features a square neckline and feathered hem, by designer Nadine Merabi.

The Rosie Webster star oozed class and elegance in the figure-hugging number which she paired with a pair of pastel blue heels featuring glittering oversized bows. Helen also gave a nod to the days of Hollywood glamour with her hair slicked into a low bun and her makeup at a minimum with a touch of peachy blush and pink lipstick.

With the dress doing all the talking, she kept her accessories also to a minimum, wearing a gold watch and sparkling silver drop earrings before adding a beaded white clutch bag. The video also featured an appearance from her one-year-old son Charlie who looked adorable in a crown-patterned whit shirt and a pair of light blue shorts.

"Cinderella vibes with my little prince," Helen, 31, captioned her post with was soon racking up the comments. Fellow former Corrie star Catherine Tyldsley wrote: " Oh momma!!!" alongside a string of heart eye emojis. Nicola Thorp, who also starred in the ITV soap and is now a regular guest commentator on This Morning, said: " WOAH," with a heart.

Comedia Katherine Ryan, however, was obsessing over another detail in the video, which started with a close up shot of Helen zipping up her beautiful frock. She said: " Excuse me zipping up your own dress like that is a talent that has gone under appreciated on this post. TEACH ME."

And fans were also sharing the compliments with Helen. @ luarena_hanley60 said: " You look sensational and your baby boy is absolutely the cutest." @ misscurvyvixon wrote: " You look UNREAL!!!!"

@georgiaebayliss commented: "Helen this is beautiful." @iamjosiejayne replied: "Like a fairytale." @lyndsey_bryan added: "Wow @hjgflanagan you look amazing!!!"

But Helen was quick to share how there is another side to the glam posts. Sharing another close up of her make-up look, she said: "@makeupbyashleyuk Ashley has been doing my make up since I've been 23 we've had some laughs." She added Yesterday's look, tap for today."

The next post on her Instagram Story then showed Helen looking just as beautiful in her natural glory, without makeup and her blonde locks tied into a messy bun. But she did point out a problem with her eyewear. Alongside a crying laughing emoji she wrote; "Kids broke my glasses."

Helen recently opened up to her Instagram followers about the changes to her body while stopping breastfeeding her son Charlie. Sharing a photo of the doting mum and her adorable baby on her Instagram Stories she wrote: "Feel such a massive hormone drip now I've stopped feeding Charlie so regularly."

And the soap star, who played Rosie in Corrie before going on maternity leave in 2018 to have her second child Delilah, three, reached out to fellow mums. "Any other woman experience this?" she asked. "I know I won't be on my own with it." Helen, who also has a six-year-old daughter Matilda, added: "No idea how I'm going to cut out my night feed. You wouldn't think Charlie was my third. I can't remember having this problem with my girls."
