The actress looked healthy and confidant as she strutted along the beach today as she continued her holiday fun in Miami.
The 25-year-old channelled 50s seaside fashion for the outing with friends in the Florida region.
The London-born star – who moved to the
United States as a child – donned a retro polka-dot bikini and a pair of black high-waisted shorts.

Teaming her look with silver costume jewellery and a slick of red lipstick, the 25-year-old seems to be starting the new year off as she means to go on.
Healthy and happy: Her drenched shorts emphasised just how much weight she’d lost as she’d lost as they hung loosely off her frame while she walked on the sand
The brunette had a permanent smile on
her face as she walked through the sand barefoot following some time
enjoying water sports.

I’m not saying she’s perfect, nobody is. But they’ve given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old.’

accused of looking frail and gaunt after dropping from a healthy size 12
to a frail-looking size 6-8 in 2009.

It allows a psychiatrist to confine a person if they believe they are a danger to themselves and others.
Mischa explained: ‘If they feel you are depressed or a danger to yourself they can hold you on a 5150.
‘I am terrified of needles and they wanted to pump me full of drugs and I said, ‘No, absolutely not. I don’t want to be here,’ and got into a fight with the nurses, and that led to my 5150.’
Moving on: But she looked well-balanced as she appeared on the same beach last week with some male company and in good shape
