You may know Michelle Keegan predominantly as an actress; her career starting on the cobbles of Coronation Street, before recently starring in the BBC drama Our Girl.

On Tuesday evening, though, the 30-year-old chose to show off yet another one of her talents: her sartorial style.

Having launched her first clothing collaboration with British retailer Very.co.uk in 2017, Keegan is now back with a second, summery instalment for 2018.

Taking things up a notch, the actress celebrated the launch with a star-studded catwalk show, which showcased the stylish 35+ collection.

‘I loved designing this collection for Very which includes everything you would want to wear this summer," Keegan said.

"The perfect event dress, relaxed separates to wear on holiday and cool tailored styles for summer in the city. My goal was to create clothes to feel confident in and have fun in!’ she explained.

Here are our top four picks, that are immediately being adding to our wishlist:

1. The rainbow dress

We all know that rainbows have been ruling the runway recently and celebrities have been quick to embrace the fun aesthetic.

Most notably, Holly Willoughby hit headlines last year when she sported a dazzling colourful number on The Jonathan Ross Show.

Unfortunately, unlike a lot of Holly's affordable wardrobe, the showstopping number was by luxury designer Ashish, retailing for over £1,000.

Hearing our cries for an affordable dupe, Keegan's most recent Very collection showcased a dreamy colourful creation, which costs a fraction of the price.

2. The trendy polka dot number

Naturally, one of the hero pieces was modelled by Michelle on the night.

The actress took to the catwalk in the perfect wedding guest dress: an elegant peplum silhouette with subtle frills and a lot of playful spots.

And, for only £100, we're immediately adding it to our basket.

3. The pastel suit

A pastel suit is the perfect transitional piece for spring.

The colourful, tailored two-set helps add a pop of colour and, as the summer weather sets in, we are slightly sad about saying goodbye to the trans-seasonal item.

Well, now you don't have to, because Keegan and Very have created a summer-approved shorts version. Bravo!

4. The Instagrammable number

As for the piece we'll soon see doing the rounds on Instagram? Say 'hello' to the £90 Striped Exaggerated Sleeve Dress.

The flirty number, with its pencil fit and puff statement sleeves, is not only a great piece to dress up or down, but also seems to have some serious selfie power as Keegan recently proved on her Instagram.
