Lauren Goodger bravely celebrated her daughter Larose's birthday - just weeks after losing her newborn, Lorena.

Little Lorena tragically died moments after she was born following complications with her breathing.

Looking stunning sporting an elegant Grecian dress and sandals, the star was seen arriving for her daughter's party in style.

She proudly held Larose, who looked adorable wearing a white frilly dress complete with a matching bow in her hair.

Supporting the former reality star were Geordie Shore's Marnie, 30, her fiancé Casey Johnson and their two-year-old Rox.
