She was in good company as she made her way into the Knightsbridge branch of Harvey Nichols on Tuesday evening – but the Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow had clearly been given the night off.
Indeed, Helen Flanagan looked like she was auditioning for the coveted role of homesick Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz during an appearance at an immersive new theatrical event with close friend Karis Kennedy.
The 23-year-old star was amongst flurry of celebrity guests at the Baileys Feaster Egg Hunt - which saw the sprawling designer store transported to 18th century Versailles as guests participated in an interactive hunt for a Baileys Chocolate Luxe Easter Egg.

Helen had opted for a monochrome gingham shirt dress from Louis Vuitton for her latest public appearance – a demure choice for the actress, who appeared to be in high spirits as she made her way inside.
But while it caught the eye for all the right reasons as she rubbed shoulders with Pixie Lott, Luisa Zissman and an assortment of cast-members from E4 show Made In Chelsea, it also conjured images of young Dorothy as she pined for her rustic Kansas home in the 1939 classic starring Judy Garland.
Unfortunately Helen had opted for a pair of wedge heeled sandals over the iconic red shoes used by Dorothy, meaning she had to rely on a handy cab to whisk her back to her London hotel later that night.

The actress matched her dress with an obligatory Chanel handbag, while the high definition contour make-up she's been favouring of late was once again in full effect.
Elsewhere Luisa opted for a smart casual ensemble comprised of loose fitting canary yellow blouse from BCBG Max Azaria and distinctive Victoria Beckham shorts.
The businesswomen finished her look with Jimmy Choo wedge heels, while the salmon pink Mulberry handbag she held in her right hand provided an added dash of vibrancy as she made her way inside.

She later told MailOnline: 'The Easter egg hunt was so much fun. I loved it and the interactive experience was fantastic!'

Another familiar face at the event was former Voice UK contestant Georgia May Harrup – a distant cousin of award winning songstress Adele.
The singer wore a red and white striped mini-dress and simple white cardigan for her evening in Knightsbridge – a look she matched with playful white ankle socks and strappy tan coloured wedge heels.
Model Sophie Anderton also made an appearance on the night, and she showed off a pair of bronzed legs in a sleeveless cream mini-dress shortly before joining in the fun.
