EastEnders' Maisie Smith unveils edgy makeover in fishnet tights and all leather look

EastEnders Maisie Smith made quite the entrance on the red carpet when she arrived at the Outlander premiere in London on Thursday night.

The former Tiffany Butcher actress, 20, looked worlds away from her EastEnders character as she rocked some edgy fishnet tight and a leather skirt to the hotly-anticipated premiere.

Maisie upped the ante by pairing her leather skater skirt with a leather baseball jacket and some classic black boots.

The soap star topped off the dramatic look with plenty of black eyeshadow and eyeliner and she styled her fiery locks in messy waves.

The much-loved actress looked stunning as she posed alongside her older sister Scarlett, 25, and her mum Julia as they glammed up for the exciting night out.

In recent months, Maisie has been kept busy while on the road with the 2022 Strictly tour.

Now that it's finally come to an end, the flame-haired beauty appears to be lapping up her free time by heading on night's out like the Outlander premiere.

And Maisie's decision to show off her amazing legs in the daring fishnet tights comes after she recently admitted that she 'hated' her legs amid her battle with body image.

It was only when Maisie landed a spot on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 that she began to accept her body.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Maisie said: “Strictly was a game-changer for me. I’ve always hated my legs and my cellulite.

"When I was at school, I was the only one who had it. When I went to parties I wouldn’t get my legs out. I would wear trousers all summer.

“It wasn’t until I did Strictly last year and they literally said: ‘You have got to wear a leotard.’ I was shoved in the deep end and it helped me, because I completely faced my fears straight on.”

Maisie also revealed that she related to her character, Tiffany Butcher’s, plot line in EastEnders when she dabbled with lip-fillers as she was insecure about her looks.

Addressing the scenes, Maisie said: “I feel pressure all the time. As a teenage girl heavily active on social media, I’ve definitely felt the same [as Tiffany].

"I’ve experienced a lot of body-image hatred – not from anyone else, but from me. I put a lot of pressure on myself to look a certain way.

"I enjoyed that story line, because I completely related to it. I have felt that exact way before, so it was nice to address it.

"You can think someone’s beautiful, but they don’t see it."
