She’s been a peroxide blonde for as long as we’ve known her. But now Sarah Harding has appeared to have turned the old adage on its head and decided that it’s brunettes that have more fun. The pop star was almost unrecognisable as she arrived at a catwalk show for London Fashion Week yesterday.
In fact, if she hasn’t been standing next to her Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts, we might have had to look more than twice at her dramatic transformation.
Sarah, 29, debuted her darker locks as she arrived the Vivienne Westwood Red Label show at The Royal Courts of Justice.
And being one fifth of one of the UK’s biggest girl groups guaranteed her a front row seat, which made showing off her new colour even better.
Sarah was a guest at the grande dame of British fashion’s autumn-winter 2011 collection.
She was accompanied by Roberts, who had been a regular face on the London Fashion Week scene yesterday.
With them was actress Jamie Winstone and her mother Elaine, who also joined Harding and Roberts in front row seats.
Sarah’s new do looked striking against her brightly coloured patterned dress, which also flattered her slender figure.
Her darker hair made a nice change from her blonde, which she has had for years, but might also be something to do with her wedding this year to DJ fiancé Tom Crane.
This week, Sarah told the Sun that she had been inspired by the award-winning film Black Swan which had given her ideas for her wedding.
She said: ‘I’m obsessed with the film. I love that dark, gothic kind of feel and I want to channel that into the wedding. I want everything to be dark, the decoration on the tables and everything.
‘Tom wants something more traditional but I want to show a bit of my dark side. I would love to have it in a gothic castle.’
Anyone know what lipstick Miss Harding is wearing for that pic?
