She may be on the fast track to being one of the most desired British stars following her steamy antics in the BBC's epic War And Peace.

But it seems Tuppence Middleton isn't ready to let fame and fortune go to her head, as the actress and her beau, Robert Fry, were spotted browsing through charity shops in London, on Monday.

Apparently on the look-out for a bargain, the 28-year-old actress ditched her TV temptress looks and sported a scruffy ensemble as she went make-up free for a trip to a local charity shop in Muswell Hill.

Downtime: War and Peace star Tuppence Middleton looked a world away from her TV temptress character as she stepped out for a low-key outing with boyfriend Robert Fry

Tuppence - who has shot to the nation's attention playing Countess Hélene Bezukhov in the adaption of Tolstoy's great work - looked a far cry from her regal character.

Swapping her regal Russian appearance for something more dressed-down, the blonde beauty appeared to be having a VERY relaxed day, as she was almost unrecognisable from her vampish appearance at the Evening Standard British Film Awards on Sunday.

Slipping into something thoroughly more 'modern', the Bristol-born beauty cut a casual figure in her shabby chic wardrobe.

Clearly feeling the chill winter weather, the actress wrapped up warm in a sheepskin lined jacket and a warm, moss green, roll-neck jumper dress.

How the nation know her: Since spring-boarding to national fame in War And Peace, Tuppence's sultry and regal look as Hélene Bezukhov has been fixed firmly in the nation's mind

And obviously keen to keep the chill weather at bay Tuppence opted for a pair of warm tights, before rounding off her outfit with a pair of tan leather loafers. 

The Imitation Game actress left her freshly dyed peroxide blonde hair on display, wearing her wild locks in a swept-over, off-centre parting - adding a slight rock 'n' roll edge to her look.

The pretty star let her naturally striking looks shine through, wearing an understated palette of make-up.

Wearing his long brown hair pushed back off of his face, the artist wore a navy overcoat, dark blue shirt, jeans and tan lace-ups - finishing the whole affair off with a dark grey scarf.

The couple were obviously enjoying some time together before Tuppence starts work on the second series of Netflix Original series, Sense 8.

Obviously making the most of the her down time, the couple could soon be apart for a lengthy spell, as  according to the International Business Times filming for Sense 8 series two is slated for March of this year - with the filming locations set to be worldwide once-again.
