Lily James looked serene on Wednesday as she spent the afternoon in the sunshine of her London garden.
Basking under the clear blue skies, the actress, 31, snapped a selfie wearing shades, her honeyed locks loosely falling in waves around her shoulders.
Enjoying the sudden spike in heat in the UK, Lily relaxed in a strap top, taking in the fresh air, the pink and green foliage of the back yard behind her.

Lily shares her home with her ex Matt Smith – although lockdown has reportedly seen the pair rekindle their romance, five months after splitting up.
The duo enjoyed a five-year relationship prior to that, with Downton Abbey‘s Lily and The Crown star Matt, 37, parting ways in December 2019.
They have subsequently continued living together and have grown closer to each other again amid the coronavirus lockdown, according to sources.
As reported in The Sun: ‘Matt and Lily’s break-up was mostly because their hectic schedules meant they could barely see each other.

‘They kept the house together when they split because they were both barely around. But when lockdown began, they ended up isolating together.
‘Being in the house and having no work and distractions has allowed them to reconnect and get back to a good place. There is such an amazing chemistry between them and they make a wonderful couple.
‘It’s what their friends had all hoped would happen because they do make each other so happy and their split happened because they were just too busy to see each other.’
Back in March, Matt and Lily were pictured together for the first time this year after reports their romance had hit the buffers over Matt’s closeness to Claire Foy, 37.

The pair were pictured walking down the street in north London but were keen to keep two metres apart from one another.
The split followed rumours that Lily had struggled to cope with Smith’s close friendship with Claire, which developed as they played the Queen and Prince Philip on acclaimed Netflix series The Crown.
However, other sources said that the couple – who met on the set of Pride And Prejudice And Zombies in 2014 – were driven apart because of their hectic work schedules.
MailOnline has commented representatives for Matt and Lily for comment.

Prior to their split last year, Matt had openly spoken about the possibility of starting a family with the ‘Baby Driver’ star.
The actor – who starred alongside Lily in the 2016 horror movie ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ – admitted he was looking forward to one day becoming a dad.
Meanwhile, Lily had also discussed the possibility of marrying the ‘Crown’ actor.
She shared: ‘I’ve gone through different phases of wanting and not wanting to get married. I don’t know where I sit with it now. What matters is the relationship and how you feel about each other.
‘I come from the most incredible family, so that means a lot to me. Eventually, sharing your life with a family is the most important thing.’
