Martine McCutcheon cut a glamourous figure in London on Thursday night - just hours after returning from a sun-soaked family holiday abroad.
The former EastEnders star, 45, looked stunning as she attended an event in Covent Garden, before heading out for dinner with some pals in the nation's capital.
Martine told her fans on Instagram it was a case of "straight back to it", as she returned to her career commitments following her break away with husband Jack McManus and their son Rafferty, seven, earlier this week.
Posing outdoors, the Love Actually actress looked super-trim and tanned in her casual chic ensemble as the SHEIN X Klarna pop-up event.
The mum-of-one opted for some flared cropped jeans, black sandals and a smart statement blazer for her evening out in her beloved London.
Martine completed her stylish look with some understated gold earrings and a small, black handbag.
Sharing a collection of snaps to her 502,000 Instagram followers the following day, the former soap star confessed the night out was helping her keep the post-holiday blues at bay.
"Back Home & straight back to it!! No rest for the wicked - But I loved getting dressed up and into Covent Garden for an event & then dinner with friends," the stylish star wrote in the caption on Friday.
"I think it’s definitely delaying the holiday blues a bit! It was such a fun night with lovely people and I remembered why I love my London and my work so much."
Fans rushed to compliment the beautiful actress, with one gushing: "You look so stunning martine! Your an inspiration and love your style."
Last year, Martine achieved a childhood ambition of hers when Elite Modeling Agency World snapped the gorgeous star up to be on their books.
Announcing she had been signed by a modeling agency at the age of 44, the multi-talented star said: "My 14 year old self would’ve died knowing this!
"I’m 45 next month and it just goes to show how it’s never too late for dreams to come true and also that the world of fashion and modelling is evolving in the greatest of ways and embracing so many different women."
Martine suffers from a number of invisible health conditions, including Lyme disease, chronic ME and fibromyalgia, and has had to figure out what is best for her body - and health - over the years.
"It's taken me such a long time to look through all the stuff that’s out there, and just do what works for me," she told Love Sunday magazine earlier this year.
"So it's not as simple as just going on a crazy diet. I just feel like it's really important to encourage women to just be the best version of themselves," Martine shared.
The actress, who gave birth to son Rafferty in 2015, said she now follows an “80/20” rule, and will stick to healthy foods and proteins during the week.
