And keen to show off just how much she has grown up, Helen cut several sultry figures in a racy lingerie photo shoot.
The 22-year-old, who starts filming for her new movie The Runaway on Wednesday, also pays homage to the late Marilyn Monroe with a new inked design.

Standing against a white backdrop, Flanagan proves she very much a vixen as she smoulders in a black lace bra.
Keeping her make-up natural, the blue-eye beauty looks flawless in the lightly washed images.

No pain, no gain: On Wednesday Helen posted a
picture to her Twitter account as she sat in a chair as she got the
image of Marilyn inked on her forearm
In the snap, Flanagan, who is an active tweeter, is looking up at the camera with wide-eyes as the tattoo gets to work while a picture of the Some Like It Hot actress is clearly in view.
Helen debuted her new etching on Tuesday evening, as she attended the Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards in London, but she's not the first actress to sport a Monroe tattoo.
Megan Fox also once had a tattoo on Marilyn's face on her arm, before she decided to get it removed via laser treatment in 2011.
