She's already won over Hollywood thanks to her acting talents and now Cressida Bonas is making her mark on the fashion industry, too.

The 26-year-old, who has received critical acclaim for her acting skills, hobnobbed with VIPs - including Anna Wintour, Suki Waterhouse and Bella Thorne - on the front row of Topshop Unique's spring/summer 16 show.

Cressida looked lovely in a black lace gown with a slashed hemline as she arrived at the catwalk showcase at The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London - one of the hottest tickets in town.

The fledgling actress was also spotted deep in conversation with Arcadia boss, Sir Philip Green, who has a knack for tapping the hottest talent for his catwalk shows.

With a slick of berry on her lips, Cressida proved why she caught the eye of Prince Harry as she took in the catwalk show.

Just hours after it was revealed that the 26-year-old had split from her actor boyfriend, Cressida joined Harry and friends - including Zara Phillips and husband Mike Tindall - at The Cross Keys pub in Chelsea.

Just last week it was revealed that Cressida is to return to the small screen after being cast in Doctor Thorne, the new period drama from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.

The thespian, who dated Prince Harry until they split in April 2014, will play the friend and confidante to Stefanie Martini’s character Mary in ITV’s new show, which has been adapted from Anthony Trollope’s novel of the same name.

Bonas, who has appeared on stage and will star in Justin Chadwick’s drama Tulip Fever alongside Dane DeHaan, Christoph Waltz and Dame Judi Dench, joins the star-studded cast, which includes Rev star Tom Hollander and Ian McShane.

The Thick Of It’s Rebecca Front, Scottish actor Richard McCabe and Phoebe Nicholls have also signed on for roles in Doctor Thorne, alongside American actress Alison Brie, who starred in Mad Men and Community.

Hollander, best known for playing inner city clergyman Reverend Adam Smallbone in the BBC sitcom, is to swap the vicar’s dog collar for a stethoscope to portray Dr Thomas Thorne, who lives in the village of Greshamsbury in Barsetshire, with his penniless niece Mary.

Fellowes said: 'Doctor Thorne is a wonderful example of Trollope’s gift for understanding the tangles we humans get into.

'He is sharply observant, critical and merciful in equal measure and, above all, highly entertaining. With the cast we have assembled, I am confident we can bring all of these qualities to the screen.'

Suki and Cressida looked as though they had plenty to catch up on as they waited for the show to start
