If TOWIE has taught us anything, it's that the residents of Essex like to dress up, hang out at exclusive parties and make an entrance. Lauren Goodger may not be in the show any more, but she managed all three last night.
The reality star celebrated her 26th birthday party at Mooro's restaurant in Chigwell, Essex - but shocked her mates by not turning up until 11PM!
Co-star Frankie Essex tweeted "We're here but where's the bday girl @laurengoodger ???"
When Lauren finally arrived, she teamed a patent leather Vivienne Westwood clutch with a one shouldered grecian style violet maxi dress.
She eventually arrived at the venue in a white Bentley. As well as Frankie, her old co star Lydia Bright attended the event with boyfriend Tom Kilbey. Lucy Mecklenburgh, Sam Faiers and Jessica Wright, the sister of her ex Mark, did not attend. Lauren also partied with Little Mix singer Leigh Anne Pinnock.
Lauren is rumorued to have had a lip filler injection, and was spotted with an inflated pout as she attended various Fashion Week events.
