I'm fabulous, sweetie: Jennifer Saunders looked healthy and happy as she showed off her cropped do at the ballet in London last night
It's been a gruelling year for Jennifer Saunders as she fought and won her battle with breast cancer.
And having been given the all-clear this summer, she is embracing her cancer-free life again - along with a new head of hair.
The comedienne and actress looked the picture of health as she attended the ballet in London last night, and showed off a new cropped do of thick blonde grey hair.
Jennifer, 52, was a guest at the first night of British choreographer Matthew Bourne's adaptation of Cinderella at the Sadlers Wells theatre in Islington.
And she looked like she was having a really good time as she laughed and joked with friends, including actresses Felicity Kendall and Francesca Annis.
She also cosied up to Bourne himself, fashion designer Jasper Conran and Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli and posed for the cameras as they had some drinks after the show.

Bourne's Cinderella hasn't been performed in the UK for over ten years and this time he has given it a radical makeover, setting the fairytale in wartime London in 1940 with Prince Charming an RAF pilot.
He and his sound designer Paul Groothius have also managed to edit the noise of falling bombs and anti-aircraft fire into a recorded version of Prokofiev's famous 1943 score.
Then and now: Jennifer, when revealed her hair loss for the first time at Tracey Emin's birthday party in July, and showing off her regrowth last night
Jennifer, is best known for the hit sitcom Absolutely Fabulous and her comedy partnership with Dawn French.
