Emily Atack was seen looking fit and healthy on Tuesday as she started shopping for a wedding dress, visiting a bridal boutique.

The 36-year-old actress wore fashionable black capri pants and a stylish white shirt while visiting the Evelie Wedding Dress Boutique in London.

Emily indulged in a glass of champagne as she headed out shopping to pick out a new wedding dress.

She and Alistair became engaged in July, just after their son, Barney, was born in June 2024.

The actress, known for her role in The Inbetweeners, has recently left London to live in a charming village. It’s conveniently located just fifteen minutes from her mother and where she grew up.

According to a source, she’s recently moved back to live near her mother, just a 15-minute drive away in a nearby village. She hadn’t lived so close to her family in 20 years.

I’ve noticed such a change in her, and it all comes down to the amazing man she’s with. He’s really helped her believe in herself, and it’s incredible to see how much more confident she is now.

Her role in Rivals has been her biggest professional achievement yet, and now she’s finally living the life she’s always dreamed of.

The Daily Mail has contacted Emily’s representatives for comment. 

This follows Emily continuing to display her weight loss, sparking further discussion about whether she used weight-loss injections after being accused of doing so.

The actress shared photos on Instagram showing off her new figure in a stylish, short black dress from Agent Provocateur.

Emily wore a fitted outfit over a black satin blouse adorned with delicate lace.

She styled her long blonde hair in soft, bouncy curls and completed the look with glamorous makeup.

Emily faced accusations of using weight-loss injections after showing off her noticeably different appearance around Christmastime.

A carousel of photos that Emily shared sparked an outrageous reaction from her followers.

Her online comments were flooded with messages, and many fans quickly came to her defense after some people speculated she was using products to lose weight.

‘Skinny jabs are jabbing,’ wrote one follower as another asked, ‘on the jabs? Looks good tho’.

Others questioned: ‘Are you on Mounjaro?’ and ‘That jab is making its rounds!’

One fan defended Emily, asking if people weren’t focusing too much on her appearance.

It’s a no-win situation for women – we’re criticized for being either overweight or underweight. While I understand you found her attractive, a woman’s body is never really up for discussion. She’s simply beautiful, and that’s enough.

Someone else pointed out that it’s disappointing she shared a beautiful collection of Christmas photos, yet most of the comments focused on her appearance instead.

Emily’s friend, comedian Katherine Ryan, also reacted with a simple ‘GIRL’ and a series of fire emojis.

Shortly after giving birth, Emily shared that she’d received a lot of questions about losing weight, but she hadn’t felt pressured to quickly return to exercising.

In a November 2024 interview on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Emily explained that having a baby can be incredibly freeing. She described how pregnancy profoundly changes your perspective, making you view your body in a completely new way after it goes through so much.

It’s strange – when you’re pregnant, your body changes and intimacy often takes a backseat. You go through the incredible process of creating and giving birth to a child – it’s a huge deal! – and then, almost immediately, people start asking about getting your body back to how it was before, like hitting the gym. It feels a bit dismissive of everything that just happened.

Emily laughed and said, “You’re joking, right? I just gave birth – it’s completely exhausting! I literally pushed a baby out of my body!”

Going to the gym is the last thing on my list, but everyone expects me to get back in shape.

It’s strange that people don’t congratulate you on becoming a mother, but immediately ask about losing weight. I’m not rushing back to the gym, and honestly, I’ve gained a little weight since the baby was born. I’m just taking time to enjoy this new phase of life.

Emily shared that she’s generally felt comfortable with her body, but she was surprised by the attention and comments about her weight after landing her popular role as Charlotte Hinchcliffe on The Inbetweeners.

She explained that people began focusing on her weight, and someone even created a Facebook page about her – Charlotte Hinchcliffe – dedicated to discussing it. She was shocked and hurt by the negativity and cruel comments about her body.

People tried to find a positive side, pointing out that we were finally seeing more diverse body types represented on TV, with women playing glamorous roles. Honestly, I hadn’t even thought of myself as having curves before!

I was a size eight, which meant I was small, but it surprised some people. They were accustomed to seeing extremely thin actresses cast in glamorous roles, and I didn’t fit that mold.

She explained the strange experience of being both admired and criticized online, saying people would tell her she was beautiful, while others called her ugly and overweight. It was really disorienting.

As a lifestyle expert, I often get asked about my approach to food, and honestly, I’ve always had a really natural, healthy relationship with it. I’ve never really struggled with restrictive dieting or unhealthy eating patterns, and I feel incredibly grateful for that. It’s something I don’t take for granted, and it’s allowed me to focus on nourishing my body with what it needs.

I don’t believe in dieting. I’ve definitely had periods where I focused on being healthier – maybe cutting back on wine or hitting the gym more often, usually for a specific goal like a new job or to improve my well-being. But I’ve never tried to lose weight because someone else told me I was overweight. It’s been about changing my own mindset.
