Jenna Coleman looks relaxed in baby blue cardigan and flowing cream skirt as she steps out in London

Jenna Coleman looked relaxed and effortlessly stylish as she headed out to run errands in London on Thursday.

The actress, 35, dressed in a smart but casual fashion as she walked through the UK capital with a cool drink in her hand.

The Serpent star wore a baby blue cardigan with grey buttons, with the sleeves finishing three quarters of the way down her arms.

She wore a cream skirt which reached almost down to her ankles, with the light material gently flowing in the breeze as she walked.

She had on a pair of black flatform sandles with brown stitching, with the straps crossing over and fastening above her feet.

The television actress carried an iced coffee in one hand and a hot drink in the other while a small white bag hung over her wrist.

A ruby red bag hung over her shoulder and rested to the front on her hips as she strolled along the road.

The star hid behind a large pair of dark sunglasses as she enjoyed the summer weather.

Last month it was announced former Doctor Who actress Jenna would be joining the cast of new series The Sandman.

She will play Johanna Constantine, the great-great-great grandmother of comic book character John Constantine, who was played by Keanu Reeves in 2005 film Constantine.

In a blog post on Netflix’s website, show creator Neil Gaiman explained why he chose Jenna.

He wrote: ‘I created her (Johanna) to fill the role that John Constantine does in the past.

‘When we broke down the first season, given that we knew that we would be encountering Johanna in the past, we wondered what would happen if we met a version of her in the present as well.

‘We tried it and the script was sparkier, feistier, and in some ways even more fun.

‘So having written her, we just had to cast her. Jenna Coleman gave us the Johanna of our dreams – tough, brilliant, tricky, haunted and probably doomed.’
