She's currently riding high as an aspiring actress and model, and Cressida Bonas proves her credentials as she smoulders on the cover of Jalouse magazine's October issue.

The 26-year-old model, socialite and thespian channels iconic Sixties siren Twiggy as she poses in an array of 60s-inspired designer looks.

With clumpy lashes - which Twiggy made her signature look - freckles, a healthy glow and unkempt hair, Prince Harry's ex proves she can hold her own in front of the camera.

The style icon, who has been mingling with the A-list at a host of fashion week parties and events in recent weeks, looks chic in Miu Miu, Paul & Joe and Gucci outfits as she poses on set.

In one image, the actress showcases her toned legs in sheer polkadot tights, black mules and a very Parisian chic pink beret.

In another, she dons cat-eye spectacles as she sips on a bottle of water through a straw in a shoot styled by Helena Tejedor.

The fledgling screen star also puts her acting talents to good use, pulling a variety of poses for photographer Piczo's lens.

Whilst this magazine cover is a major coup for the star, it is by no means her first. Earlier this year, the well-connected blonde appeared on the front cover of Miss Vogue, posed for Vanity Fair and also modelled for Mulberry.

Cressida's glamorous new cover comes as she was spotted looking worse for wear on Wednesday night. The actress clambered into a taxi after a night out at the trendy Chiltern Firehouse with Prince Harry's cousin, Princess Eugenie, who introduced the pair back in 2012.

The blonde looked a little weary as she took her seat in the back of the cab after a night on the town - her third party this week.

The fledgling thespian partied with the likes of hotel heiress, Nicky Hilton, at the Harper's Bazaar/Frieze party held at the London haunt.

Earlier in the night, socialite Cressida mingled at The Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences new members reception at the American Ambassadors Residence in Regents Park.

Hosted by Ambassador Matthew Barzun and Mrs Brooke Barzun, the best of British acting talent were at the bash to welcome the Academy's newest European members.

Cressida looked super chic for the glam night out, standing out in her royal blue statement shirt.

The high-necked number featured a pretty black bow detail, with style-conscious Cressida matching her shirt with high-waisted black satin trousers.

A pair of boots finished off the ensemble, while the actress added a dark manicure and black and gold jewellery.

Cressida tied up her locks with a pretty bow and topped off her look with a slick of lip gloss and a dash of pretty pink blusher. However, later in the night, she had clearly let her hair loose as she was spotted leaving the Firehouse with her locks down.

She mixed with the likes of Cate Blanchett and Kate Beckinsale at the starry party.

And on Monday, it was a girl's night out for Cressida. The 26-year-old attended the glitzy Chanel exhibition party and appeared in high spirits as she left the A-list event at London's Saatchi Gallery with a female friend.

Wrapping up warm in a black wool coat, the blonde was particularly giggly as she left the glitzy event with a pal.

The pair linked arms and shared a few laughs as they made their way down the street following the launch of the French fashion house's new Mademoiselle Privé showcase, which promises to be the most exciting fashion event of the season.

Earlier in the evening, Cressida showcased her sophisticated new style wearing on-trend flared two-tone grey and black trousers and a chic white T-shirt as she posed for photographers.

Wearing her hair in its signature loose curls, Cressida completed her look with metallic soled flatforms.

Cressida was in good company; Cara Delevingne, Lily Collins, Georgia May Jagger and Daisy Lowe were also in attendance.

The star, who has been hobnobbing with A-listers at various fashion week events recently, has certainly had a style overhaul in recent months.

When dating Prince Harry, she favoured more laidback looks and championed an edgier style.

In recent months, however, she has impressed with her sartorial choices: a mixture of haute couture and high street.

Despite fuelling romance rumours when she dined with her ex, Prince Harry, last month, Cressida was spotted getting cosy with another mystery man at an A-list event in London on Tuesday. 

The 26-year-old actress and style icon was enjoying a very intimate chat with a mystery brunette male friend as they joined smokers outside at the BFI Luminous Gala dinner at the Guildhall in London.

The man in question seemed somewhat taken with Cressida and was seen tenderly touching her arm as he leaned in for a chat.

The actress laughed as her male friend, who wore his dickie bow undone, cracked a few jokes at the black tie event.

It's little surprise that Miss Bonas is proving a hit with the gentlemen; she's carving out an impressive career as an actress, model and fashionista and scores an invite to all the hottest events.
