Doctor Who star Karen Gillan has a bad hair (and dress) day

Where's Doctor Who to save the day when you need him?

Poor Karen Gillan could have used help from the Time Lord in battling the elements yesterday - and perhaps transport her to bedtime while he's at it.

The red-headed sex bomb certainly didn't look at her best outside her London home - and was further hampered by a shapeless dark green velvet dress that swamped her slender figure.

Exterminate: Karen Gillan looked ready to drop after returning to her North London home following a shopping trip yesterday

The 22-year-old had been shopping on a dull day in North London, and was caught with her hair plastered across her face by the wind.

With her still beautiful porcelain complexion and flame-red hair, the normally glamorous Ms Gillan could be forgiven for dressing down however, as she was having some time off from the hard work of shooting the next series of the 46-year-old Sci-Fi show.

She's certainly someone who likes to experiment with her own unique style anyway  - earlier this month she was sporting more of a goth look than the pre-Raphaelite style attire she sported at the Baftas.

Meanwhile, Matt Smith, 27, who plays the Doctor, showed an equal interest in fashion at the weekend when he was out and about watching girlfriend Daisy Lowe strut the catwalk with her mother Pearl at the Vintage At Goodwood Festival.

Matt, who plays the 11th Doctor, attempted to go incognito in dark sunglasses as he sat on the front row of the event, applauding loudly.

That's better: Karen's hair was slightly more tamed as she stepped out in north London today

Matt and Karen's first series as the famed Gallifreyan and his companion concluded in the finale The Big Bang at the end of June. 

Doctor Who returns to our screens at Christmas before returning for another full series in 2011.
