Ellie Goulding cuts a trendy figure in a white blouse and black leather trousers on outing in London

She recently revealed that she wants to go into acting – setting her sights on a role in London’s West End.

And Ellie Goulding put on a trendy display as she went for a stroll in the capital on Wednesday afternoon. 

The singer, 33, showcased her sense of style in a white blouse which she wore with black leather-style trousers.

Ellie also wore SOREL black kinetic trainers on the outing while she wrapped up in a large black coat.

The Love Me Like You Do hitmaker sported a pair of small gold earrings and wore a light pallet of makeup.

Ellie completed her look for the day by letting her platinum blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders.   

Last month, the singer expressed an interest in reinventing her career during an interview with The Sun, as she reflected on how much she’d enjoyed acting as a youngster.

She explained: ‘I acted a lot when I was young and I really enjoyed it. I loved playing different characters.’

‘It’s probably a very different kind of confidence from being on stage. But I’d like to see if I’ve still got it.

‘I would probably be in a play. I’ve seen a lot of plays in the last couple of years in London and I’d like to start there.’

Ellie added that she didn’t feel a blockbuster would be the right choice for her to start with, despite singers like Rita Ora and Rihanna already venturing into that territory successfully.

Also last month, Ellie – who is married to art dealer Caspar Jopling – said she feels ‘overlooked’ by the fashion industry because she has an athletic figure.

The singer took to her Instagram Stories to admit that she feels her appearance has been criticised by both men and women.

She said that she feels her muscular physique ‘challenges femininity’ and the way that people are ‘supposed to look’ in her industry.

Ellie wrote: ‘Re my last post – I’ve definitely been criticised by men and women for my athleticism and appearance because it challenges femininity and how I’m ‘supposed to look’ in this industry. 

‘I honestly feel I have been overlooked in the fashion world for this reason but I will keep pushing female strength as the ultimate super power. Which it is.’

It came after Ellie proclaimed her gym routine to be her ‘ultimate escape’ as she shared a snap of her washboard abs.

She is known for her love of fitness and told how working out has helped her mental health, although she has found it difficult to stay motivated during lockdown.
