She's been seen in a series of chic and stylish outfits throughout her run in Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya.

But it would seem Anna Friel was saving her A-game until now, and is refusing to let her fashion crown slip as the show's run prepares to draw to a close next month.

The 36-year-old actress looked effortlessly chic as she left London's Vaudeville Theatre on Monday night in a scarlet belted wool mac.

Showing off her fashion credentials in the stylish piece, Anna accentuated her tiny waist with a wide belt, while large gold buttons and an upturned collar completed the item's detailing.

And red was evidently her favourite colour for the day, with the star accessorising her statement coat with a pair of ruby-coloured patent Mary Jane heels.

Anna completed her look with a slick of rouge lipstick and showed off her flawless skin with natural make-up, while keeping her brunette locks scraped off her face in a simple up-do.

The talented thespian is currently taking on role of Yeléna and appears alongside Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael, who plays Sonya in the critically-acclaimed reworking of the Anton Chekhov classic Uncle Vanya.

On starring in Uncle Vanya, she recently told The Observer newspaper: 'When I accepted it, I knew the play, but I'd never really studied Chekhov the person.

'So I went to Moscow for a few days and went to the Chekhov museum and asked lots of questions.'

When asked about her approach to the melancholic role, she said: 'You can either play it for the comedy or you can play it for the dramatic content and it becomes so dour and so dark that you have to laugh.
Despite the play's sad mood, the actress is delighted to be starring in the production.
She added: 'I feel honoured that I'm speaking Chekhov's words. That could sound wanky but I think he's one of the most beautiful writers.'
