She's such a Barbie girl: Helen Flanagan dresses all in pink as she matches her lipstick and handbag to low cut shirt dress

Since leaving Coronation Street in 2012, Helen Flanagan's life really has been one fantastic party.

The former soap star may not be making waves in the world of television with her amazing acting talent, but she is making sure the world notices her one way or another.

The 22-year-old did her best Barbie impression as she attended the grand opening of Black Dog Bowl, on Thursday night in Manchester.

Dressed in bright pink Helen drew attention to herself as she colour coordinated her Topshop dress with her trademark pout.

The actress wore a plunging open collared shirt dress that was striped pink and white.

She reigned in the loose fitting top with a thick white belt which pulled in at the waist and gave Helen a little bit more shape.

Proving that she truly is a real life Barbie, the celebrity matched her lipstick to her top and her large Chanel handbag.

Although she didn't wear a coat Helen did beat the cold with a pair of thick tights and completed her outfit with black heels.

Earlier this week, Helen was pictured in the bowling alley doing her best to make the new hangout look as raunchy as she could.

She sported a variety of eye-catching ensembles for the shoot, although stopped short of actually wearing the infamously ugly bowling shoes herself.

Instead, Helen opted for a strappy pair of orange sandals as she posed next to a rack of the footwear.

Helen teamed the shoes with pair of figure-hugging white trousers and a black and white football jersey as she reclined provocatively on the floor, with her blonde hair teased into bombshell curls.

The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here contestant wasn't the only ex Corrie star to turn up to the opening.

Tina O'Brien and her boyfriend Adam Crofts rocked up to see the new cool lanes and current Weatherfield star Jack P Sheppard also attended.
