Lily James appeared in great spirits as she stepped out for a stroll with her friend Bart Edwards over the weekend in sunny London.
The actress, 33, and her pal, 34, had been indulging in some retail therapy, as she carried a white paper bag in her hand while heading down the street.
Lily looked to be having a lovely time with Bart as she threw her head back and laughed as they walked alongside each other.
The Whats Love Got To Do With It? star was sporting a long black shearling jacket, teamed with a polo neck jumper and a pair of blue jeans.
She completed the look with a leather baker boy style cap and a pair of chunky black boots, while styling her locks in a loose natural style.
