Despite battling against strong winds on the outing, the Love Island star, 28, beamed broadly as she strutted down the street and into a taxi.
She donned a crochet crop top flashed her abs, paired with black trousers that skimmed over flip flops.

Someone making you smile? She’s rumoured to have rekindled her romance with Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Culculoglu couldn’t keep the smile off her face in Essex on Monday
Windswept: Despite battling against strong winds on the outing, the Love Island star, 28, beamed broadly as she strutted down the street and into a taxi
The outing comes after she sparked speculation she’s patched things up with ex-boyfriend Davide, 27.
The Love Island couple, who won last year’s series, announced they had split last month following an 11 month romance, but were seen in the back of a cab after the ITV summer party last week.
After jetting on separate holidays to Turkey and Ibiza, the former couple have a number of awkward run-ins before both receiving invites to the ITV bash.
But far from giving each other the cold shoulder, Davide was seen as he sneakily hopped into the taxi with Ekin-Su.
The two looked a little bleary-eyed after spending the night partying with a whole host of ITV stars including AJ Odudu, Charlotte Hawkins and Olivia Attwood.
Following their breakup, which Davide announced on Instagram last month, the Italian was captured on video ‘sniffing a white suspicious powder’ in Ibiza, later telling his fanbase that the past few weeks have been ‘difficult’.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Davide spent the beginning of the week moving out of the London flat he shared with Ekin.
‘He’s had a terrible time since their split from having to find a new place to live back in Manchester and the added stress of being betrayed by someone he trusted while on holiday.
‘Davide and Ekin have always loved the excitement of film premieres and attending them together, so it was a sad moment to be at the Barbie opening but not as a couple.
‘He’s now gone home to Italy to spend some much-needed time with his family.’

The former couple were repeatedly rocked by rumours that Davide was unfaithful, but Ekin stood by him until the bitter end when he allegedly ‘blindsided’ her by announcing their breakup on social media.
Following their separation, Davide jetted to Ibiza on holiday, where he was filmed ‘sniffing a suspicious white powder’.
Last week, Davide released a statement admitting that he found himself in an ‘awkward situation’ and a ‘vulnerable state’.
He said: ‘You have seen some stories about me over my trip in Ibiza. It was no secret that the last few weeks have been difficult for me.
‘There was speculation about my behaviour and a video which was questionable. However, below the surface of this I did something that’s not nice to see and was not acting like myself.’
Ekin-Su returned to Instagram last week where she addressed the end of their 11-month romance.
She penned: ‘Hi everyone, I thought it was time to come back online to thank you so much for all of your messages over the past 2-weeks.
‘It has shown me what a kind, supportive, strong community I have behind me. I took some much needed time away with my family which has been really special but now it’s time to realign & get back to work.
‘I have such an exciting year ahead & I want to fully focus on that. I really appreciate your ongoing support. Thank you for cheering me on. Ekin x’
