The duo embraced the chilly winter weather, bundling up in puffy jackets for their regular school run.

Naomi appeared to cut a casual figure in a navy coat, blue tights and white joggers.

She teamed the look with a set of woollen gloves, a beige scarf tucked neatly inside her warm jacket and an over-sized red beanie which certainly made her stand out.

The mother-of-two also slung a navy studded designer handbag over one shoulder as she pounded the pavement hand-in-hand with her look-a-like son.

The King Kong starlet left her blonde locks in a relaxed 'do and went for the early morning stroll without any make-up on, showing off her luminous skin.

Samuel kept warm in a khaki camouflage print jacket, purple jeans and black lace up shoes. 

The youngster completed his casual school look with a burgundy coloured back pack and a grey beanie which he placed firmly on top of his blonde tresses.

Naomi amped up the wattage with her glittering and glamorous gown for the 2016 Oscars.

The blonde beauty looked sensational in her bandeau navy floor-grazing gown which was plucked from Armani Prive’s Fall 2015 collection which embraced rich hues of pink, violet and navy along with a retro 80s feel.

The slinky form-fitting number is the ultimate evening choice for any high profile occasion when you want to stand out from the crowd whilst maintaining your elegance, and we love how Naomi’s finished it off with a stunning diamond necklace and a crimson lippie. Gorgeous.
