Helena Bonham Carter ensured she wasn't missed on the roads as she rode her bicycle wearing a bright orange cardigan in north London this week.

The actress, 56, switched typical cyclist attire including a hi-vis jacket for the equally vibrant fluffy knitwear while riding about town on her bike.

One onlooker claimed 'there was certainly no missing her', as she passed by on the eco-friendly mode of transport.

Helena styled her cardigan with a green blouse and a flowing skirt and a pair of Birkenstocks and a leather satchel with a gold clasp.

Helena wore her hair swept up into messy bun and accessorised with a floral clip, while she was also sporting a pair of pink glasses on her head.

Helena, who is going out with Rye Dag Holmboe, an art historian 22 years her junior, is often mentioned her quirky style but she insists it doesn't dent her confidence.

'I've never been interested in what other people think. I have been vilified for my dress sense, and I find it hilarious,' she said.

Helena's latest acting project is Enola Holmes 2, where she plays Eudoria, the mother of the titular character [Millie Bobby Brown].

Millie took to Instagram on Thursday last week to share first looks snaps at the upcoming sequel.

Millie's character, the younger sister of Sherlock Homes, played by Henry Cavill, can be seen running from the police before being handcuffed and carted off to jail.

In another scene Enola hides in a basement alongside her mother Eudoria as the youngster opens her own detective agency.

It comes as Helena has been busy filming scenes for her role in an upcoming ITV drama series in Venice and Manchester. 

The three part drama, Nolly, penned by Russell T Davies, will explore the all-powerful reign and fall from grace of the inimitable Noele Gordon, who died in 1985.

She was declared the 'Queen of the Midlands' thanks to iconic role as Meg Mortimer in Crossroads and was the darling of the establishment until it turned on her.  

As flame-haired widow Meg in the long-running soap opera Crossroads, Noele became one of the most famous people in Britain.

Then in 1981, at the height of the show's success and the peak of her fame, she was axed without ceremony, without warning and with no explanation, with the soap eventually ending two years later.

After she was dropped from the show, Noele's ill health prevented her from accepting many more roles, and she died in 1985 at the age of 66.
