Doting mother Tamara Ecclestone lavishes attention on her mini-me daughter Sophia as they kick off the festive fun at star-studded Winter Wonderland

Being a doting mother she's rarely seen without her adorable daughter.

And as she treated her adorable daughter Sophia to an outing at the VIP lunch of London's Winter Wonderland on Thursday night, Tamara Ecclestone lavished attention on her only daughter.

Taking her daughter on one of the venue's many rides, the socialite, 31, beamed proudly as the pair wizzed around on tandem horses, before planting a tender kiss on the tot's cheek.

Grab a utility cape like Tamara

Tamara Ecclestone got into the spirit of things on a trip to London's Winder Wonderland on Thursday. And what better way to usher in the holidays than with a fur-topped knit hat, as seen on mother and daughter, fur and suede Ugg-like boots as well as a belted hooded cape lined with fur? This piece totally gets us in the mood for Christmas and we can almost taste the eggnog and the cookies.

For several seasons now, capes have been going strong. And, as you can see with the flurry of cape dresses on the market, this silhouette will remain relevant in your closet for years. The military utilitarian movement is also showing no sign of slow-down. So it's worth an investment one way or another and whether you choose a twill casual version or a dressier wool one.

If Tamara's exact piece is tempting you, good news because it's available online. It's by Army by Yves Salomon and you can get it at Barneys New York. However, the khaki sizes are dwindling down, so click quick to buy. If your size is already history, see below. More sizes are available in Army's charcoal gray version lined with black fur.

Getting straight into the swing of the festive season following their 13th holiday of the year, the mother/daughter duo broke out their fashionable winter wardrobe for an evening in Hyde Park.

Opting for a casual yet seasonally sensible look, Tamara - whose father is F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone - donned an olive, fur-lined poncho parker to keep the chill weather at bay.

Wearing a cream jumper underneath her jacket, the heiress teamed her knitwear and jacket with a pair of skintight denim jeans.

Rounding her look off with a pair of camel Ugg boots, Tamara looked more than prepared for any winter weather she might encounter while still retaining her style credentials.
