What would Poldark say? Heida Reed shows some skin in a low-cut jumpsuit as she attends gala dinner in London after finishing work on series two of the show

She's been thoroughly stuck in the past when it's come down to her day-today wardrobe in recent month, as she worked on series two of the hit period drama, Poldark.

But after wrapping up filming on Tuesday, actress Heida Reed put her most fashionable foot forward as she attended a National Theatre event in London, on Wednesday evening.

Showcasing her very modern and sartorially striking fashion sense, the actress, 27, donned a white jumpsuit which showed plenty of skin whilst allowing her to retain a glamorous and chic edge.

The Icelandic-born star, who has become a star thanks to her turn in the Cornish drama opposite Aidan Turner, put the lace and petticoats of her character Elizabeth firmly to one side for the night.

Opting for a layered white culottes jumpsuit, which featured a belted waist and crossover detailing, the striking actress cut oozed an effortless and understated chic vibe.

Featuring a low-cut strappy neckline, Heida showed a hint of cleavage thanks to the V-shaped cut, while she also showcased her gym-honed arms and bare shoulders.

She finished her look off with a pair of silver strappy stiletto heels, which contrasted against the brilliant and bold tone of her one-piece.

Injecting a tiny hint of colour into her look, Heida accessorised with a purple handbag, whilst she also sported diamond studded earrings and chunky silver watch.

She wore her dark chestnut tresses in a centre parting and pushed back off of her face, allowing her pretty features to remain un-obscured.

Wearing a complementary palette of make-up, the alabaster beauty allowed her naturally striking looks to take the spotlight, as she only defined her eyes with a hint of mascara and her lips with a slick of ruby lipstick.

She was joined at the event by her Poldark co-star Kyle Soller, who plays her Poldark's cousin Francis.

And it seems the pair were enjoying some down time away from the set of the drama, which is mostly filmed on-location in Cornwall. 

On Tuesday the Icelandic beauty and her leading man, 32, posed up a storm during Heida's last day of filming the BBC hit.

Heida - who plays Captain Ross Poldark's firts love, Elizabeth - shared a series of fun and intimate snaps of her and Aidan enjoying the lighter side of life on the set of a period drama.

Sharing the sneak-peak of life behind the camera with the BBC's most coveted hunk, the brunette beauty showed that its not all doom and gloom in the 19th Centurty - at least when the camera's aren't rolling.

In one picture she can be seen in full-costume, wearing a billowing purple dress with lace embellishment, as she playfully hides behind a clapboard, reading, 'Podlark II, Take 2'.

And, obviously having some fun before the cameras started rolling, Aidan appears to be hiding behind his co-star with his hands cheekily cupped just below her cleavage.

Playing it straight, Elizabeth simply captioned the funny photo: 'It's a wrap for Elizabeth on series 2!!! #poldark.'

Meanwhile in another picture uploaded to her account, the Silent Witness actress and The Hobbit star can be seen pouting at the camera, as they sit in the back of a car.

Casting steely and smoldering stares, the two co-stars appear to be channeling Zoolander as opposed to Winston Graham's beloved Cornish characters.

The pair appear to have been filming a scene outside, as Aidan is still sporting his period garments in the picture, while Heida appears to have thrown on a scarf and warm quilted jacket.

Making light of their seriously stern expressions, she captioned the snap: 'Poldarks can be mean. #Poldark.'

Sat perfectly still, she can be seen staring into a make-up mirror, as she sits through the process patiently.

And clearly ready to get to work, she wrote next to the picture: 'Almost there #poldark.'

Although little is known about what the second series will hold for the retired soldier - who has captured the nation's heart with his shirtless antics and rebellious streak - a recent synopsis gave viewers a hint at what to expect. 

'Ross Poldark must once again fight for his freedom when George Warleggan tries desperately to steal his mine and have him hanged as a revolutionary,' a BBC spokesperson said.

'Crippled by debts, Ross and Francis try to heal old wounds by joining forces in a new mine free of the Warleggans.

‘But Ross and Elizabeth's feelings for each other cannot be repressed, and Ross risks everything in a desperate smuggling venture.'
