B-rogue sense of fashion: Helena Bonham Carter displays her quirky sense of style in outlandish green spotty two-piece as she steps out with daughter Nell

She's  famed for her outlandish approach to fashion.  

And Helena Bonham Carter, 51, once again toyed with convention as she stepped out in London with daughter Nell on Tuesday afternoon.

Sporting a vintage themed green top and matching skirt, Helena inevitably caught the eye during a brief outing with the nine-year old – the younger of her two children with film director Tim Burton.

Patterned tights and durable, old fashioned shoes added to her eccentric appearance, while a tan leather handbag proved to be her only visible accessory.

Opting for limited make-up and a conventional centre-parted hairstyle, Helena was typically low-key during her latest outing in the capital. 

The actress was involved in a 13-year relationship with Burton before they separated in 2014.

The couple, who share two children Billy, 13, and Nell, first met in 2001, when Burton cast her in a remake of '60s classic Planet of the Apes.

They went on to make six further films together, including Big Fish, Corpse Bride, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, Alice In Wonderland and Dark Shadows.

The pair famously didn't marry during their relationship and unconventionally lived in two adjoining houses in London with their two children. 

Helena previously admitted that she believes that herself and Tim still share something ‘very precious’ between them.

She insisted that she and Tim have maintained a strong friendship and have been able to avoid many of the usual problems associated with break-ups.

Speaking to Red magazine, she said: ‘I could write a thesis on what's happened and it is all-absorbing when a relationship breaks down.

‘But I think we're coming through it. I think we'll have something very precious still.’
