Lucy Mecklenburgh catches the eye at Superdrug birthday celebration

By Jason Chester

She recently admitted to spending two hours a DAY in the gym, but the body she's so committed to toning was well hidden on Wednesday evening as Lucy Mecklenburgh made an entrance at the Superdrug 50th birthday celebration.

The former TOWIE babe was on hand to help the British high-street fixture celebrate its milestone at smart London venue Marylebone One, and she did so in an equally smart A-line skirt from BCBG Max Azaria.

Lucy, 22, caught the eye as she sashayed inside sporting the pleated ensemble – and its use of vibrant lemon and peach tones ensured she grabbed her fair share of attention while posing for photos.

The Brentwood boutique owner matched her skirt with a pair of strappy gold heels, a theme she would continue with a considered use of gold accessories.

Indeed, Lucy rounded off her outfit with a tasteful clutch and matching gold cuff bracelet, worn on her left wrist.

Looking bronzed, the fitness mad star was on good form as she joined old TOWIE pals Lauren Goodger and Lauren Pope at the event.

Join the colour block party in Lucy's pleated dress

We're having a bit of a deja vu moment looking at Lucy Mecklenburgh at Superdrug's 50th birthday bash.

A yellow dress? By BCBGMAXAZRIA? It's all very familiar, and that's because she wore a yellow dress by the label only recently. And whilst we loved that little fit and flare number, this one goes a step further. Not only is the shade perfect for spring, but the colour block look is very Victoria Beckham. Plus, the flattering fit shows off the results of Lucy's daily workout routine to perfection!

Anyone who has travelled to the states will have seen American label BCBGMAXAZRIA everywhere. Unfortunately, Lucy must have ventured out of Brentwood to get her hands on this one, because their site doesn't ship outside of America, and this one isn't yet available over here.

But click (right) if you're taking a trip across the pond soon. Honestly, just being able to buy this dress is a great excuse for holiday! But if you'd rather stay closer to home, check out the colour block options we've found for you. This French Connection frock is our favourite, or if you'd rather stick to simple sunny shades, this Oasis number has got your name all over it.

In her new magazine column, Lucy admitted she's increased the amount of time she spends in the gym as she seeks to boost her stamina with the aid of a personal trainer.

'I've upped my training recently and am working out for two hours every day,' she wrote. 'I'm 8st 9lbs at the moment, which I'm happy with.

She added: 'Since my last night out I've stopped drinking, but let's see if that lasts until next week.'

Lucy, who cites Jessica Alba as her beauty icon, recently revealed that she felt 'too skinny' after her break-up with tattooed lothario Mario Falcone.

'I think it's normal for people to lose weight through anxiety after a break-up,' she told MailOnline's Femail. 'I would just advise women to not overdo it.'

At 5ft 6in, Lucy says that she has found her happy weight and now follows a sensible and healthy exercise and diet regime.

Sharing her advice for women who struggle to find the time to exercise, she said: 'I love going on walks with my friends or hula hooping whilst watching TV alone, I bet my neighbours think I am a right weirdo!'.
