There was a time when she was barely seen in anything other than a bodycon and platform heels.
But these days Amy Childs has a more 'professional' look which she showcased on Friday evening as she went for dinner in Essex.
The 24-year-old looked like she meant business wearing a striped suit which had a slight shine to it.
Come dine with me: Amy Childs was seen out in Essex on Friday evening
Beneath the suit jacket she wore a white tank top which gave away just a glimpse of her ample cleavage.
Her long red hair was worn loose falling around her shoulders and as always she was heavily made-up to perfection.
Keeping her followers up to date with her movements she tweeted: 'Nice bit of @AlecsRestaurant with the girls tonight ......xxx'

But it doesn't look like the former TOWIE star had a big night as she was tweeted the next morning that she would be heading to her boutique for work.
It's an exciting time for Amy at the moment, who launched her pop-up boutique at Intu Derby shopping centre in the East Midlands earlier this month.
Amy has multiple projects on the go including her own fashion line, an Essex-based boutique, and a regular gig on Britain's Fubar radio.

Indeed, there's no stopping the Brentwood babe who admitted earlier in the year she wants her name to go global.
'My brand is really expanding. I want to be as big as the Kardashians,' she told At Home Magazine.
But her first love lies with beauty, a skill she says she was born with. 'I was a natural. I was always so passionate about beauty, I just couldn't wait to finish school, get my GCSEs and study it,' she added.
