LA: The TOWIE crew are never knowingly underdressed. But Lydia Bright's latest fashion exploit is over the top even by Essex standards.
The 21-year-old dived into the pool at the Sisu Club and Hotel in Puerto Banus resort, Marbella yesterday wearing towering 6 inch heels.
To be fair the reality star was in the midst of what looked like a buzzing champagne pool party, so perhaps the festive spirit got the better of her.
She didn't appear remotely bothered by the prospect of potentially ruining her footwear, and instead tilted her head back as champagne was poured down her throat by an obliging reveller.
The blonde wore the same pale gold bikini she was seen in over the weekend, and gave the camera a generous shot of her pert bottom as she chatted to her co-star Gemma Collins.
She was seen enjoying some rather more sober quality time with her new beau Tom Kilbey earlier in the day, as the pair enjoyed a stroll hand-in-hand through the resort.
Lydia stopped to have a quick chat with Gok Wan lookalike Bobby by the pool before plunging in.
It looks like things are heating up between Lydia and Tom, who have been practically inseparable throughout the filming of TOWIE's Marbella special.
Boutique owner Lydia and footballer Tom, both 21, started dating at the end of Series 4.
Lydia has been single since calling off her long-term, on/off relationship with James 'Arg' Argent in January, although she has been struggling to move on because of the 'drama' between them.
However, Arg finally confessed to her mother Debbie Douglas in the Series 5 finale on Sunday that he had cheated on Lydia during their relationship.
Meanwhile, Tom recently ended his short romance with his sister Cara's best friend Billi Mucklow.
He complained that Billi could always put Cara first over him and it would be detrimental if they were to get serious as a couple.
