Minnie Driver appeared to have put her terrifying car crash behind her as she made a rare appearance with her fiancé Addison O'Dea in Notting Hill in London on Monday.
The actress, 56, was involved in a 'really bad' car accident while driving on a country road in France with her friend Ben Homewood in a Kia EV2 last month.
The star was left in a neck brace as she told fans she was 'grateful to be alive' following the crash.
Yet Minnie was looking much better as she walked hand in hand with Addison during the west London stroll with her partner.
Keeping it casual, Minnie wore a blue sweatshirt and black sports leggings which she paired with blue and red trainers.
Carrying her water bottle, Addison wore similarly sporty attire in a black sports top and Nike shorts.

Last month Minnie shocked fans after she opened up about the accident, explaining another car failed to stop while driving at speed at an intersection, adding that the smash was 'not their fault'.
The star then showed a picture of the car wreckage and an image of herself walking out of the hospital with her friend.
Minnie said: 'I am actually back in London. I'm sorry about the filter I've put on this, but honestly without it, I just look appalling. Even the dog wouldn't look at me.
'I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago, with my friend Ben and we somehow walked out of it. Well we didn't walk out of it, we crawled out of it, but we did get out of it alive.'
Breaking down, she said: 'To be clear, it was not our fault. A car didn't stop at an intersection and was going at speed and we just T-boned it.
'I'm fine. I've got a sprained neck and I'm really in shock and cry all the time, but I'm going to heal.
'The reason that I'm not dead is the car that we were driving. We were in this tiny little Kia EV2. I've never been in a crash before, but the 360 degree airbags are what saved our lives.
She added: 'The fact that the entire car didn't concertina and crush us is down to the design of that car, which is frankly astonishing.

'This is categorically not a car ad. Can you imagine? I want to celebrate that car. I'm a Mini driver. Pun intended. I need to celebrate the car that saved us. We've got families and people that love us. And I am so grateful to be alive.
'So Kia, you are a baller car company. You're amazing. And thanks very much from me and my mate Ben Homewood. And my family and the people who love me.'
She wrote in the comments: 'Shout out to the van driver who stopped and helped us before the ambulances arrived.
'Special mention to the car who slowed down, took in the scene and drove off without stopping. I guess this is the Dao of the world, the light and the dark.
'My brain keeps replaying the crash which is very hard but seems to be a necessary part of processing.
'Weeping too, feels good and helpful. Thank you to my friends, my family, all the people at work and especially my friend Ben and his family. I love you.'
