The mother-of-two showed off a daring new haircut, including a closely shaved head, as she joined children at the event to mark the star of the Christmas holiday season
The bold haircut is a sharp departure from her usual lengthy blonde tresses, which she often wears in a soft bouncy bob style
The mother-of-two choose to wear bronze mask covered in sequins for the appearance and also donned several sets of silver earrings.
She also wore a tan and black jacket with a vibrant pattern and a sparkling black jumper for the occasion.
Although the former Olympic swimmer has often been spotted favouring shorter haircuts, her latest look marks one of her most daring styles in recent years.
She is more often known for her elegant dress sense and usually chooses a neutral palette of cream, taupe and beige.

Princess Charlene shared the two sweet snaps to her Instagram account last week to mark her ‘beautiful’ children’s birthday.
Despite the many sweet treats lining the table in front of them, the twins didn’t seem too excited as they blew out the candles of their birthday cake at the Prince’s Palace of Monaco.

Keeping it casual on their birthday, the children opted for onesies, with Prince Jacques wearing a black and white one, while his sister donned a pink version.
The twins spent the day of their birthday in school, and then in the afternoon they attended the christening of a new Maritime Police boat, the Princess Gabriella.
Speaking about his daughter, who the vessel is named after, Prince Albert told People: ‘Gabriella, she’s a pistol, I’ll tell you! She’s already got a great little sense of humour, sense of showmanship.’
‘With a limited amount of other children,’ Albert stressed, ‘and I emphasise the word “limited” because they’ll be people saying, “How come they can have a party and our kids can’t have group activities?”’
Prince Albert, who was the first head of state to be diagnosed with Covid-19 earlier this year, added that social distancing and downsized public events are in store for the twins.
