Helena Bonham-Carter showed off her eccentric fashion sense on Tuesday when she climbed into her baby blue Fiat 500 while out and about in London.

The Harry Potter actress, 56, has been enjoying a laid-back Bank Holiday weekend – when she was spotted out for a walk with husband Rye Dag Holmboe, 35, on Saturday.

And on Tuesday Helena was spotted again in London, when she went to get some fresh air.

She showed her quirky sense of style for the second time in an abstract long skirt, which she paired with a black and white crazy floral scarf.

Despite the warm spring weather, she added a thick brown wool overcoat and finished off the look with black sneakers.

Helena has had a very relaxed Bank Holiday weekend enjoying walks around London with her family.

On Saturday, the actress was joined by her husband Rye Dag Holmboe, 35, as they walked their two dogs.

Helena put on a black midi dress with a floral print, while she draped a black jacket over her shoulders.

The Fight Club star covered her neck with a black and white scarf and carried the essentials in a black shoulder bag.

She kept it comfortable for her daily walk with simple black trainers.

Earlier this year, Helena was busy promoting her latest role for the new ITVX series Nolly.

The actress plays Crossroads star Noele Gordon in the miniseries, and the show is set to release sometime this year.

Gushing about her role, Helena previously said, “When I read the script, it was like a gift. A dream. It’s like meeting someone and falling in love.

“I watched Crossroads. So I knew Noele Gordon as a character, but I hadn’t really taken the resignation.”

Written by Russell T Davies, the three-part miniseries explores the all-powerful reign and fall from grace of the inimitable Noele, who died in 1985.

Noele was proclaimed ‘Queen of the Midlands’ thanks to her iconic role as Meg Mortimer in Crossroads and was the darling of the establishment until it turned against her.

As flame-haired widow Meg in the long-running soap opera Crossroads, Noele became one of the most famous people in Britain.

Then, in 1981, at the height of the show’s success and the height of her fame, she was suspended without ceremony, without warning and without explanation, and the soap finally ended two years later.

With the words of the boss ‘all good things must come to an end’ ringing in her ears, Noele found herself kicked from the show that was more than 18 years of her life.

Nolly is a love letter to a television legend and to the silly soap opera she starred in. It will be an entertaining ride through Noele’s most tumultuous years and a sharp, affectionate and heartbreaking portrait of a forgotten icon.
