Earlier in the day Nicola was epitome of chic as she was honoured at the sun-soaked Canneseries Festival in the South of France.
She slipped into a figure-hugging green sequinned gown for the occasion as she posed up a storm overlooking the ocean.
Nicola tied a pale pink sweater loosely around her shoulders and shielded her eyes behind a pair of geometric shades.
She added extra height to her frame with metallic silver heels and sported radiant make-up with her blonde hair tied back while strands framed her dainty features.
Nicola appeared in great spirits as she left her handprint in cements during the event before signing her name beneath.
The Canneseries, was launched in 2017, and takes place ahead of the annual film festival, aiming to showcase and promote television series from around the world.
Last week Nicola appeared smitten with boyfriend Jake Dunn as they made their red carpet debut at the Bafta TV and Craft awards nominees party.
The actress and her Renegade Nell star partner, 25, could barely keep their eyes off each other as they arrived at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.

The dress certainly caught the eye
Nicola looked elegant for the evening in a figure-hugging black jacket dress which featured an eye-catching tulle bow on the back.
She layered the statement garment over a pair of black tights as she slipped into a pair of towering black platform heels.
To finish her chic ensemble, the blonde beauty toted her belongings around in a small satin micro bag.
Meanwhile Jake opted for a much more casual appearance as he stepped out in a pair of white trainers and a two-piece navy suit.
He layered his suit over a burgundy wool jumper and a white shirt which he opted to keep the top button open.
Nicola went Instagram official with Jake in February as she took to her Stories to celebrate her boyfriend’s 25th birthday with a sweet post.
She shared a photo of Dunn sitting on what appears to be a set as he looked up at the sky.
“Happy Birthday ♥️,” she wrote on the post.
Nicola and Jake met after being after being introduced by her Derry Girls co-star and close friend Louisa Harland.
Following months of hiding the budding relationship, Nicola and Jake, finally confirmed their romance in October after they were spotted returning home hand-in-hand from a pub trip in North London.
Friends of the couple told MailOnline: ‘They’re absolutely besotted with each other and have so much fun together.
‘Despite their busy schedules, they’ve slotted into each other’s lives so easily as they share such a big group of mutual friends.’
Jake, who graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2023, has appeared in projects opposite Nicola’s Derry Girls co-stars Louisa Harland and Dylan Llewellyn, 32.

Like Nicola, the London-born actor has also starred in a period drama, Disney’s Renegade Nell, opposite Louisa.
The source added: ‘When Derry Girls ended Nicola, Dylan and Louisa remained the best of friends and always supported each other in their careers so it made sense Nicola met Jake.’
While still at drama school, Jake was booked on for the Channel 4 Big Boys opposite Dylan and was written by Jack Rooke who is a close friend of Nicola’s.
The gang of friends are big supporters of each other’s work and are often spotted hanging out in North West London where Nicola has a house in the trendy Stoke Newington area.
