The actress ditched the chavvy clothes in favour of a striped ensemble that ramped up the style stakes...


It's not often we see a soap star out and about working anything that'd look appropriate outwith the confines of a trashy WAG's hangout. So it was with pleasant surprise that we viewed this picture of Corrie's Michelle Keegan, who broke from the pack at a Harvey Nichols fashion show last week when she turned up in a chic striped jersey dress.

Channelling this season's nautical trend, Michelle gave her simple dress an evening edge with some glamorous gold accessories. And it looks like she could give her Coronation Street character Tina McIntyre a styling tip or two.

Here's how to get Michelle's lovely look for less:

Button stripe dress, £22, New Look.

Tan sandals, £20, Boohoo.com.

White slouch bag, £38, Topshop.
