The TOWIE icon, 44, put on a stylish display in a matching Barbie pink T-shirt and pair of figure-hugging shorts.
She completed the look with a pair of white trainers as she posed for the full length mirror selfie before also sharing a close up as she modelled a pair of Gucci sunglasses.
Gemma enjoyed a day out with her fiancée Rami Hawash and his son Tristan before they were also met by DJ Fat Tony ahead of his wedding this coming weekend.

Gemma said she'll no longer need to go to the NHS with an 'obesity related illness' thanks to the help of the medication.
She revealed in January that she'd been taking the NHS approved Mounjaro injections and has left fans stunned with her incredible transformation.
She told The Mirror: 'I've lost so much weight, you wouldn't believe it. It's the only thing I've managed to lose weight on without putting myself on a stressful diet.
'I think I'm actually saving the NHS. I won't be going to the NHS with an obesity related illness so I won't be putting any strain on it. I'm loving life, honey.'
Earlier this month Gemma posed up a storm in a white bandeau swimsuit as she posed with a hand on her hip for the stunning snap.
She soaked up the sunshine and joked that she was on 'do not disturb' and 'unavailable' as she enjoyed her holiday.
Gemma posed against a gorgeous holiday backdrop of the sea and palm trees at what looks like a beach club.
However, it comes just after Gemma was left horrified after discovering one unlikely side effect of the weight loss jabs.

Gemma has been left concerned that her weight loss has left her 'looking older' as she shared a candid Instagram post this week pointing out her 'next level' crow's feet.
She said: 'I really don't know what's happened to me, I really don't, It's just come on me overnight. But it has been a year since I've had any little tweakments.'
'I don't know if it's since I've been losing weight. I sure haven't got "Ozempic face" yet, but it would be the dream right now,'
'I've always had a fuller face, as you know. I do like expression around my eyes. I want to look natural still. But this just isn't right. What has happened? I am 44 but this is taking it to levels that I never, ever imagined it'd get to.'
'Ozempic face' is a used to describe noticeable facial changes, such as sagging skin and a gaunt appearance, that can occur after rapid weight loss, often associated with the use of medications like Ozempic.
Meanwhile a source told The Mirror that while Gemma was poking fun at the situation she was in reality very concerned.
'She's eating really healthily and has broken some of the bad habits with food, It was a bit of a shock to her to really see the effect the weight loss has had on her face'.
'She doesn't want to suddenly look older than she is, which is why she's sorting it and being honest about it. Gemma's always been really open and honest about her relationship with her body and she's been through some really horrible times with it, but that's all in her past now.'
Before adding: 'The wrinkle tweakments are all part of her wanting to feel and look good. She knows there's no point losing all the weight and just being unhappy, so she'll happily make little changes to keep herself feeling her best'.

Charli XCX arrives at Heathrow Airport without her new husband George Daniel just days after tying the knot in lavish London ceremony
Charli XCX was spotted at Heathrow Airport on Friday without her new husband George Daniel after their lavish London wedding. The singer, 32, exchanged vows with The 1975 drummer at Hackney Town Hall on July 19, and are believed to be having a second wedding in Sicily later this summer. But she appeared to be taking a solo long-haul trip as she pushed two large suitcases into the departure terminal. Charli showed off her slim figure in a black fitted T-shirt and Capri trousers, teamed with ballet pumps. She attempted to keep a low-profile by wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, and appeared downcast without George by her side. Charli and George exchanged vows in front of 20 close friends and family members, including the groom's bandmates Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald. Taking to TikTok, Charli showed off her leggy Vivienne Westwood wedding dress, which she teamed with shades and strutted into view before turning on her heels and exiting. She joked: 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle' only to reassure followers in the caption that the drummer 'luckily did'. The 360 hitmaker also shared a glimpse of the couple's wild afterparty which saw her changing into a second white dress, this time from Nova Cora and costing a cool £3,300, as she celebrated her newlywed status with pals. Larking around George modelled his new wife's veil while puffing on a cigarette and showcasing his buff physique beneath an open silk shirt. The gang partied and danced the night away to Charli's music, captioning the clip: 'Bridal party energy!'. On her big day Charli was the epitome of style in the white mini dress which boasted a plunging boat neckline and draped detailing that she wore with a traditional veil. Slipping her feet into Jimmy Choo heels, the singer kept her long black hair loose and carried a bouquet of white flowers. Meanwhile George wore a dark double breasted suit over a light open collared shirt with a flower, that matched his wife's bouquet, in his button hole. The newlyweds posed for sweet snaps with the songstress' proud parents Jon and Shameera Aitchison. Following the wedding the couple reportedly headed to nearby by Italian restaurant Dalla where they dined alfresco and sipped Aperol Spritz before heading to their evening bash at Ellie's bar in Dalston. A source told The Sun: 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat. Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla'. 'The restaurant had closed for them and they had a massive family style meal with loads of pasta and champagne. 'People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside;. It turns out bandmate Matty was in LA for the screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel stars in. On Friday evening, the singer was spotted arriving at the venue dressed in a leather jacket over a white top with a red lightning bolt, paired with blue jeans. Matty, who has been linked to Gabbriette since September 2023, appeared in good spirits as he left his vehicle and headed into the event. Later taking to TikTok Charli showed off her leggy wedding dress, which she teamed with shades, for the fun clip as she strutting into a room before turning on her heels and exiting MailOnline has contacted George and Matty's representatives for comment.
