She's spent the last few weeks sunning herself on holiday, looking fresh-faced and relaxed.

But Leona Lewis was back to work with a bang on Wednesday as she dressed up in a stylish monochrome dress for the Body Shop launch.

After having some time off, the singer jetted back to London earlier in the week and has been announced as the brand's new ambassador, looking like she was back to her old self as she posed for photos.

The Bleeding Love singer, who's about to embark on a 14-day UK tour, hid her curvaceous figure under the loose-fitting dress.

Buttoned up to the neck and with the hemline just a couple inches above the knee, the 27-year-old looked relatively modest for the photocall, opting for a demure style.

Clearly not liking the change in weather from LA to London, the former X Factor star decided to add a pair of thick black tights to the outfit but wore a pair of skyscraper stilettos for a little glamour.

Back to her old self: The singer wore heavy make-up on her face after going fresh-faced during her holiday

Her long blonde hair, which she'd had done at a Los Angeles salon a few days previously, had been curled in perfect ringlets, falling long over her shoulders.

And in stark contrast to her completely make-up free look that she pulled off while on holiday, Leona wore dark smokey eyeliner and false lashes.

She also added a splash of bright pink lipstick as she posed with the brand's beauty products in her first role as ambassador.

The star proved that she's not one to step out without wrapping up in the biting cold British weather and threw a beige mac over her outfit before dashing outside.

Ethically-minded Leona is the perfect choice to be brand activist for Body Shop, as she's been a staunch vegetarian since she was a child and is an animal activist.

She's taking part in a collaborative campaign with the brand to end animal testing for cosmetics once and for all.

Fresh-faced: Just days before Leona cut a very different figure as she headed out in LA without a scrap of make-up on

She told the Mail: 'I’m passionate about beauty and I’m all about animal rights and Community Fair Trade.

'As a result, I’m really conscious of where the products that I use come from. The Body Shop sells cruelty-free, ethically-sourced products containing amazing Community Fair Trade ingredients.'

And while the singer has been touted as a possible new judge on the X Factor, she admitted that it would be too nerve-wracking.

'It was a good thing for me to do. But it is quite scary and nerve-wracking to have a lot of people's emotions in your hands so it's a big job to take. I'm sure whoever does it will do well,' she said.
