Maura Higgins shows off dramatic hair transformation after shock split from Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice
MAURA Higgins has revealed her dramatic hair transformation after shockingly splitting up with Strictly beau Giovanni Pernice.
The Love Island star looked sizzling as she headed into pal Molly-Mae Hague's launch event with Beauty Works in London.
Maura, 30, unveiled her stunnin new look at the event, showing off her new statement fringe just days after splitting with ex Giovanni, 32.
The reality TV star wore her long brunette tresses down over her shoulders as she looked up at the cameras from behind her stunning bangs.
Maura opted for a corset-style black dress for the soiree, pairing her plunging zip-up look - which showed off her cleavage - with sexy knee-high boots.
The Love Islander completed her look with a dewy palette of make-up, including fake eyelashes and a glossy nude lip.
She was all smiles as she tucked her designer Louis Vuitton handbag under her arm to greet pal Molly-Mae, 22, at her star-studded launch event.
The Pretty Little Thing creative designer opted for a white jumpsuit, blue bag and matching blue jewellery for her celebratory night.
She was seen entering the invite-only party alongside boyfriend Tommy Fury, who kept things causal in a Prada tracksuit and trainers.
It comes after "heartbroken" Maura was spotted out in London for the first time since her split from Strictly star Giovanni was announced.
The star looked glamorous and flashed her abs in a crop top and high-waisted jeans as she left a London hotel for a night on the town.

The TV star headed for a night on the town after pro dancer Giovanni, 31, called time on their four-month romance - leaving her "devastated".
The pair were said to have struggled to keep their relationship going while Giovanni was locked in rehearsals with EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, 26.
A pal said: "Maura's taken a step back to let Giovanni concentrate on the show."
The Sun revealed how it was Giovanni who ended the romance - because he wasn't ready to settle down.
And Maura was left blindsided by the split, which came just days after they moved in together, and is "utterly heartbroken".
She deleted all trace of the Italian from her social media, telling pals she "has to move on" from their four-month romance.
A source said: "Maura didn't see this coming and is finding it very difficult to come to terms with. She genuinely thought Gio was the one."
The pair are believed to have split two weeks ago after heart-to-heart talks.
It is believed Giovanni admitted he had become concerned the pair's "crazy suitcase lives" meant they weren't able to see enough of each other.
The source said: "Gio is working 24/7 on Strictly and Maura is flying here, there and everywhere with modelling.
"Gio is also set to go on tour again next year when Strictly ends so their lifestyles just don't fit with settling down at the moment.
"That's why Gio decided to end things. They have crazy suitcase lives which makes it hard to be in a relationship.
"He adores Maura and had hoped they could remain friends - but that doesn't look likely."
Maura last night put her split to one side as she returned to social media to show the progress on her new place.
