Dawn French brought the style to Sondheim’s Old Friends on Tuesday night with her new chic hairstyle.

Dawn ditched her iconic bob hairstyle last year after struggling to deal with the upkeep during lockdowns.

She let her natural grey come through and is now rocking a stylish, short quiff.

Appearing at the event to honour Sondheim last night, Dawn matched her outfit to her new edgier look.

She wore an all black ensemble, with a long waterfall jacket with a leather look. Underneath it was paired with a long dress, that has gold circle details that attached at the neckline.

The look was completed with a pair of black boots, that also had gold details to match the top and a black smokey eyeshadow.

Sondheim’s Old Friends, organised by Cameron Mackintosh, took place in London on Tuesday and was full of familiar, famous faces to celebrate his music.

The one night only event took place in memory of the musical theatre genius Stephen Sondheim, who passed away in November 2021 at 91.

Dawn was just one of many famous faces that made an appearance last night, Dame Judi Dench was one of the performers, as was Michael Ball, Helena Bonham Carter, Bonnie Langford and Julia McKenzie.

Her appearance comes after she recently shared that doctors once feared she had a brain tumour because of her severe vertigo.

While touring she struggled so much, that sometimes she had to be helped by crew members to keep her standing up.

She described it as being “like my skull is a room and the whole of the top is collapsing inwards, and everything starts spinning,” the star explained.

“It’s like being very drunk and not understanding what is up and what is down.”

However, this has not stopped Dawn, as she is set to take her latest stand-up tour Dawn French Is A Huge T**t later this year.
