Suki Waterhouse stepped things up a gear on Friday as she headed off for driving lessons near her London home.

The beauty dressed down for the lesson, opting for a dark grey T-shirt worn over a black top, while she draped a black jumper over her shoulders.

She added dark trousers and trainers, while following guidelines by donning a face mask during the lesson.

Suki appeared in good spirits as she was spotted chatting to her instructor before taking to the roads.

And the star was clearly taking to driving like a duck to water as she confidently manoeuvred the car around the roads of London.

Suki was without boyfriend of two years Robert Pattison, who recently tested positive for coronavirus. 

The actor, 34, recently returned to the set of new film The Batman, after production was halted amid his diagnosis.  

The couple were first linked in July 2018 when they were spotted leaving a showing of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again at the trendy Electric Cinema in Notting Hill.

They've been known to go on double dates with pals Taylor Swift and actor Joe Alwyn, and keep in touch with each other via FaceTime when their schedules keep them apart.

Late last year, the pair sparked engagement rumours, after it was claimed they would be spending the festive season at her family home in west London.

The Mail On Sunday reported screen star Robert had lined up a trip to Iceland as a gift for the blonde beauty.

Wheelie great: Suki added another string to her bow as she learned to drive

They said: 'Suki and Robert are a great influence on each other, which is why he is spending Christmas with the Waterhouses.

'Suki encourages him to be more relaxed and Robert keeps her grounded when she's feeling anxious.

'As they're spending Christmas together, it's the perfect opportunity for him to ask for Suki's hand. Lots of people, including Norman, are hoping that he pops the question.'
