Last month she was slapped with a 14-month driving ban after being convicted of drink driving.
The remorseful actress, who pledged to ‘live and learn’ from her mistake after she was arrested in the early hours of January 30 in Belgravia for driving with excess alcohol, has taken a tentative step back onto the party circuit.
But rather than heading to a nightclub, the 22-year-old opted for a more glamorous affair, attending the Prince’s Trust Spring Ball.

Charge: The actress was banned from driving for 14 months on February 12
The turn of season soiree, held at the Hurlingham Club in south London, may have come a few weeks early, given the dip in temperature this week.
But Louisa and her fellow attendees braved the winter chill to show off their Spring-appropriate wares.
Louisa showed off plenty off skin in a strapless brown dress and nude heels. Going with the Spring theme, she left her shoulders and décolletage bare and went stocking-free.

The former EastEnders actress had her hair in an elegant up ‘do, with striking cat eyeliner and red lipstick.
Inside the event, she posed for photobooth pictures with her friend, Waterloo Road star Zaraah Abrahams.
She took to Twitter to enthuse about VV Brown’s performance, writing: ‘Just incredible!!’
VV Brown, one of the faces of M&S, posed outside the party in a below-the-knee navy frock, black loafers and striped socks.

She had an outfit change before taking to the stage, appearing in an emerald green smock dress and a flower in her hair.
The
Love Bus star Zoe Salmon had a bit a of a wardrobe malfunction when the
hem of her ill-fitting white satin dress came undone while she posed
for the cameras.
Kristina Rihanoff and Jenni Falconoer went
glamorous for the event, while Emma Willis went for an androgynous look
in a white high-neck blouse and black cropped trousers.

Jodie Harsh and Hayley Westenra also attended the party.
Louisa, who played PC Beth Green in the ITV police drama, appeared keen to move forward from her recent legal worries.
During
her court appearance on February 12, Lytton was banned from driving for
14 months and fined £350 at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
She
was also ordered to pay £85 costs, with an offer to reduce her 14 month
ban if she completes the Secretary of State-approved course.

Her manager, Daren Dixon said afterwards: ‘She is very remorseful about this, and will move on. She will live and learn from it.
‘She will take the course and just get on with it, she wasn’t hiding from it.
‘She
had only had one drink and was just over the limit, but she knows that
the law is the law, she understands the severity of it, and that you
can’t drink and drive.’
