Petra Ecclestone turned heads as she and her husband Sam Palmer arrived at the swanky Italian restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica on Friday evening ahead of her 36th birthday. 

The Formula 1 heiress, 35, who will be celebrating her birthday next week, looked incredible as she put on a leggy display in a black leather corset mini dress. 

Petra teamed a chic leopard print coat with her ensemble as she showcased her slender legs in a pair of sheer black tights. 

The model, who is the daughter of former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and one of the heirs to his £1.9billion fortune, added inches to her frame with a pair of black pointed court stiletto heels. 

Petra toted her essentials in a black cross-body bag which boasted a gold chain and further accessorised with gold hoop earrings. 

Meanwhile, her husband Sam, 39, who is a property agent, cut a smart casual figure wearing a cream button-up polo shirt and a neutral jacket to match.

Recording herself as she gave a surgery update, while still wearing bandages on her head, she said: 'Good morning guys, so I got loads of messages.'

'I guess it was an alarming site my head being bandaged.'

'I just posted it because I really want people to be careful about going in the sun and having the right protection.'

Petra tried to raise awareness as she continued to talk about her own experience, revealing she didn't use to care about protecting her own skin. 

Captioning her latest clip, she penned: 'Thank you to everyone who reached out yesterday about my story.'

The media star was makeup-free in the Instagram snap as she pouted down the lens while clad in her pyjamas. 

Petra captioned the snap: 'Guys keep away from the sun. I wish I knew more about it when I was younger and the dangers of it. Please wear SPF daily and a hat.'

The mother-of-four did not specify what had happened. MailOnline contacted Petra's representatives for comment at the time. 

One of the leading risks of not using SPF is overexposure to UV rays, which leads to early aging of the skin and damage that can cause skin cancer

The NHS encourages everyone to use at least SPF 30 protection.

Regular users of sun cream with SPF 15 or higher can cut their risk of melanoma — the most deadly type of skin cancer — in half, studies have also suggested.

Around 15,000 Brits and 100,000 Americans are diagnosed with melanoma each year, the most common form of skin cancer.

Melanoma is often fast-growing and can quickly burrow through the skin and into the blood vessels beneath.

Once the cancer cells get into the bloodstream, the disease can spread throughout the body.

Surgery is the main treatment for melanoma. Radiotherapy, medicines and chemotherapy are also sometimes used.

Petra shares a daughter Millie, three, with her husband Sam and also shares daughter Lavinia, 11, and twin sons James and Andrew, eight, with her ex-husband James Stunt.
