Helen Flanagan switches from slippers to Hollywood glam to hit the town with her mum as she mocks her Corrie appearance

Helen Flanagan was the picture of elegance as she hit the town with her mum Julia in a pristine white suit. The Coronation Street favourite dazzled in her bandeau buttoned jacket, embracing the 90s revival, worn with wide-legged trousers.

The Bury actress added to the immaculate ensemble with a Dior saddle bag and wore her blonde hair pulled back in a chic Marilyn Monroe-esque style. She added a slick of dark red lipstick to complete the evening look as she walked arm-in-arm with her mum to Manchester's swanky The Ivy restaurant at Spinningfields.

Her mum beamed as she joined Helen, 32, to enjoy precious mother and daughter time looking stylish in a pretty polka dot blouse and smart black trousers. Earlier Helen shared a very different picture from home as she shared a makeup free snap of herself on her Instagram Stories wearing pink fluffy slippers as she did some organising.

She wrote on Saturday: "Nothing glam going on here today just sorting out my dressing room for autumn. Can not wait to get this done properly." Today Helen took a trip down memory lane as she poked fun at her soap character Rosie Webster's appearance.

Sharing a picture of a young Rosie in her goth years Helen asked: "Where are my eyebrows tho?". Helen joined the Weatherfield soap to play Rosie, the daughter of Sally Metcalfe and Kevin Webster, in 2000.

Earlier this month she shared with fans about embarking on a 'new chapter 'in her life as she celebrated her birthday. Her daughters Matilda, seven, and Delilah, four, wore cute pink cake patterned dresses as they posed alongside their mum with a pink, purple and blue balloon arch.

She proudly cradled her son Charlie, who she welcomed with her footballer fiance Scott Sinclair last March. "Lovely weekend celebrating my 32nd birthday and a new chapter," Instagrammed Helen.

Helen recently enjoyed a reunion with a couple of her former Coronation Street co-stars. The soap beauty took a picture of herself with Jack P Shepherd and Colson Smith, who play David Platt and Craig Tinker, as they caught up on a train journey.

It came after Helen teased her return to acting. The mum-of-three, who played Rosie in Corrie from 2000 before going on maternity leave in 2018 to have her second child Delilah, took to her Instagram page for a Q&A with her followers, urging them to ask her anything.

Someone asked: "Will you go back to acting?" And posting a snap of herself dressed up as her Corrie character, Helen responded: "I would love love to go back to acting and I am working on something at the moment." She then added: "I have three young children and they come first in anything I do."

Last month she took to social media to highlight the benefits of spending 'quality time' with each of her children in turn. She posted a smiley photo on her Instagram Stories of herself cuddling her first-born Matilda in matchin strawberry print pyjamas.

She said: "I love this happy pic of me and my baby girl." Sharing her thoughts on being a mum she typed: "I think it's nice sometimes to break their routine when they are older and let them have the odd later night."

And she opened up further about their routine, saying: "I love to have one and one quality time with each of my children. Matilda always goes into school happier and Delilah has less tantrums and Charlie is more settled."

A couple of weeks ago she enjoyed a day out with Matilda in London where the pair dined at one of the capital’s finest restaurants, Harry’s Dolce Vita in Knightsbridge, and they did so in matching style. Helen and Matilda showed off their sweet bond as their donned matching dresses from Coast in the same sage green shade with dotted with flower prints adorning the beautiful outfits.
