The star completed her look with a fluffy pale green scarf and added a touch of sparkle with a pair of dangling earrings.

The appearance of Helena comes after the fall of the third series of the Crown last month after much anticipation due to a change of cast.
Helena plays in the series alongside Olivia Colman, 45, as queen, Tobias Menzies, 45, as prince Philip and Marion Bailey, 68, as queen mother.
Erin Doherty also plays the role of the Princess Royal, with Josh O’Connor, 29, playing the role of Prince Charles.
Harry Potter star Helena recently talked about the relatable nature of the featurette characters.
She said: “ It’s basically a family and that’s why we relate to it, but in extraordinary circumstances. However, they have very ordinary reactions.
Addressing the relationship between Elizabeth and Margaret, the actress added: “ There is a lot of rivalry.
“She really loved her sister, deeply. I think they regretted that there was not enough of this proximity.
