But after a few hours of partying with her Hollyoaks cast mates, Jorgie Porter appeared to have lost her poise and elegance somewhat.
The 22-year-old actress, who plays dizzy Theresa McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, was pictured playfully sucking on a lollipop while taking photographs of herself.
Sweet treat: Jorgie Porter, who plays Theresa McQueen in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, sucks on a lollipop on a night out in Liverpool on Thursday
But with her eyes closed and an almost empty cocktail glass beside her, it looked like the night was beginning to take its toll on her.
Jorgie was one of many stars of the soap who turned out to the Albert Docks in Liverpool on Thursday night to attend a launch party at Circo bar for The Closet, a high-end dress agency set up by fellow soap actresses Claire Cooper, Jennifer Metcalfe and Leah Hackett.
The Closet is the brainchild of the trio who played the McQueen sisters and cousin of Theresa (Porter).

It allows girls to hire a genuine designer dress worth thousands for a fraction of the original cost.
The three, who were a perfect advertisement for their new company last night in glamorous full length frocks, have been working on the idea for the past eight months.
'We get on well together and we are really close,' says Claire.

'I think people would love to think that we’re pulling each other’s hair out like we are on TV, but honestly we don’t. In fact it’s nice to work with friends and we just buzz off each other.'Other Hollyoaks cast members also came out in force to support the launch, including Gemma Merna, Nathalie Emmanuel and Melissa Walton.
Carly Stenson and her ex-boyfriend Ricky Whittle were also on the guest list and he chaperoned footballer Djibril Cissé's wife Jude.

The characters get the chop over the next few months in the Channel 4 soap as part of a mass cull by new producer Paul Marquess, who used to work on The Bill.
Following an initial announcement that the Valentine family were to be cut from the show, the news mean that the total number of stars in line to leave the show now stands at 16.

Among those facing the chop are the whole Valentine clan - Sasha ( Emmanuelle), Lauren (Dominique Jackson) and Leo (Brian Bovell).Meanwhile Calvin (Whittle) will leave towards the end of May as part of a shooting storyline, foreshadowed in a 'flashforward' episode last year.
Zak Ramsay, played by Kent Riley, Spencer Gray (Darren Langford) and Archie Carpenter (Stephen Beard) are all being written out.
Chaperon: Ricky Whittle accompanied Djibril Cissé's wife Jude.
And Barry 'Newt' Newton (Nico Mirallegro) and relative newcomers Dave Colburn (Elliot James Langridge) and Des Townsend (Kris Deedigan).
Gerard McCarthy, who plays bisexual cross-dresser Kris Fisher, has chosen to leave too as he prepares to take part in Flashdance: The Musical in the West End.
Earlier this year, it was announced that three of the Ashworth clan - Josh (Sonny Flood), Suzanne (Suzanne Hall) and Neville (Jim Millea) - are being written out.
Marquess, who has taken over from Lucy Allan as series producer of Hollyoaks, cut a number of characters when he took the reins at police drama The Bill.
