Dawn French shows off impressive weight loss on the red carpet and brings back iconic hairstyle
DAWN French has gone back to her roots and returned to her iconic bob.
The legendary comedian, 65, showed off the return of her signature look while walking the red carpet in London's West End.
Dawn, who has shed a staggering 7st in recent years, looked stunning as she revealed her glossy platinum bobbed hairdo with heavy fringe.
She was wearing an all-black ensemble of a dress, tights and trainers for the opening night of Oklahoma! and was all smiles as the cameras flashed.
Although a different colour, Dawn's hair is reminiscent of the iconic dark brunette bob she had in 90s show The Vicar Of Dibley.
Dawn went on to sport the hairstyle for years, before finally ditching it for something completely new during the coronavirus lockdowns.

The Absolutely Fabulous star grew out her colour before having her tresses chopped into a dramatic pixie cut, which she dubbed "Mr Whippy Hair".
Dawn even experimented with an undercut before going the whole hog.
In an interview with Good Housekeeping in February last year, Dawn admitted: "The real trigger came during the lockdowns when I was dying my hair myself, and I just couldn’t be bothered to keep doing it.
"I let my natural grey come through. I also cut some of it myself - to my hairdresser's alarm!"

But in the same chat, Dawn did admit that she was already planning on going back to her trademark bob.
"The plan is to grow it again like my old hairstyle," she confessed.
Meanwhile, Dawn has dramatically slimmed down in recent years.
The star went on a diet in 2014 after being told she needed an hysterectomy. Doctors said she could have the op done via keyhole surgery if she slimmed down.
Dawn has continued to stick to a consistent diet of healthy eating and exercise ever since, losing an impressive 7st in total.
