Lauren Pope ditches the make-up as she clutches £865 Gucci handbag and dons a black padded jacket

She welcomed her firs child, a daughter named Raine, with her boyfriend Tony Keterman in July.

And Lauren Pope let her natural beauty shine through as she enjoyed a solo shopping trip in London on Saturday. 

The former TOWIE star, 37, went make-up free for her Christmas retail therapy, as she clutched a £865 Gucci leather handbag and sported a stylish padded jacket. 

She completed the look with a cream hooded jumper, leggings and white trainers. 

Lauren’s ombré tresses were styled in a straight hairdo as she carried a collection of gifts and a large water bottle. 

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline recently, the blonde beauty spoke about the ‘tough’ birth of her baby girl, now five-months-old, but insisted she now feels at her ‘most content.’

She said: ‘It’s still so surreal that she’s finally here after all these months, I just can’t stop staring at her beautiful little face.

‘The birth was tough of course but she is worth every bit of pain, tears, sickness and exhaustion. 

‘I now feel at my most content, I may have painful sore parts of my body and a belly that still looks five months pregnant but I don’t even care, all I care about is being the best possible mum I can be and to soak in every minute of every day with her.’   

Lauren now resides in a chic apartment in London with her daughter, and her millionaire boyfriend, Tony, 33, who runs a foreign exchange firm in the city. 

She also recently celebrated the success of her Facebook group, The Mum Space, an online community designed to help women overcome pregnancy or parenting hurdles during the pandemic. 

Lauren said on social media: ‘From a small Facebook group I set up back in April for any other anxious pregnant women in lockdown to now a community of over 30k mums & mums to be, so thankful for everyone that’s a part of @themumspace.❤️   

‘Your all so thoughtful, caring, helpful & most importantly non judgmental to each other! 

‘Here is just a small selection of some of our amazing group, we wanted to celebrate all of you & your beautiful bumps so here’s to a big #happybumpday’. (sic)
