From Weatherfield to Hollywood: Corrie's Catherine Tyldesley

She may be more accustomed to the cobbles of Weatherfield than the bright lights of the Hollywood Hills.
But Catherine Tyldesley oozed movie star chic as she stepped out to a breast cancer charity event at Manchester's Australasia restaurant on Tuesday night.
Keeping the cold weather at bay, the Coronation Street star wrapped up in a glamorous fur coat that wouldn't have looked out of place on the big screen sirens of days gone by.

Ensuring the rest of her look was equally attention-grabbing, the 29-year-old actress wore her long blonde locks swept to the side in perfect Hollywood curls, while opting for dramatic pillar box red lipstick and fluttering lashes.

 

Underneath her coat, the soap beauty wore a chic black pencil dress, while teetering on skyscraper black stiletto heels as she arrived at the stylish eatery.
Catherine completed her look with a simple white clutch bag and dramatic gold earrings for her evening out on the town.

What made the star's ensemble perhaps even more impressive was the fact that she gave herself just 20 minutes to get ready after accidentally falling asleep before heading out.
Writing on her Twitter page prior to the event, she said: 'Falling asleep and leaving yourself 20 mins to get ready #notclever.'
But it would appear a night out played havoc with the Corrie starlet's sleeping patterns, as she admitted she was reaching for the coffee on Wednesday morning.

She tweeted: 'Eugh... Worst nights sleep #zombie. coffee time....several coffees methinks...'
Catherine, who has played Eva Green in Coronation Street since 2011, has slimmed down from a size 22 10 years ago to her current svelte size 10 figure, and credits her personal trainer boyfriend, Sam Witter with helping her stay in shape.
She recently said: 'Most people's New Year's resolution is to get fit and lose weight but so many quit after a small amount of time. It all about finding a way of keeping going.'
