Helena Bonham Carter, 53, wraps up warm in a padded jacket

Helena Bonham Carter was seen braving the rain as she stepped out for some essentials amid the coronavirus pandemic on Friday afternoon.

The Crown actress, 53, wrapped up warm in a black padded jacket and a red tie dye scarf while out and about in London near her home.

Helena was sporting a black dress over a pair of leggings, teamed with a pair of chunky black trainers with a white platform. 

The star had her hands full as she carried two plastic bags full of shopping, as she returned home following a trip to the supermarket.

Helena also managed to balance an umbrella in her hand, as she shielded herself from the rain during her walk.

The Harry Potter actress opted for light touches of make-up and wore her locks up with a selection of pretty hair clips.

In recent weeks Helena has been spotted out with her toyboy beau Rye Dag Holmboe, 32, who she is currently isolating with.

After meeting the writer, Helena gushed in late 2019 that their romance has been ‘a bit of unexpected magic in my life’.

Helena shares son Billy, 16, and 12-year-old daughter Nell with her ex Tim Burton, 61. The Cinderella star had a famously unconventional 13-year relationship with director Tim which ended in 2014.

 On finally moving on from Tim, the Enid star – who previously dated Irish actor Kenneth Branagh between 1994 and 1999 – admitted she grew tired of ‘grieving’ their relationship, and now leads a ‘happy’ life with her new boyfriend.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar UK, the thespian shared: ‘You break up, you grieve, you get bored of grieving. And then you finally move on…

‘I’m very happy with someone else. It’s been a bit of unexpected magic in my life.’
