Cheryl Tweedy has made her first public appearance since the death of Liam Payne on Wednesday night.
The singer, 42, stepped out for the gala night of Hadestown, which celebrates new performers at the Lyric Theatre in London.
Cheryl was snapped as she made her way into the venue, supporting her Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts who stars in the show.
It marks the first public outing for Cheryl since the death of her ex-partner and father of her son Teddy, Liam Payne, last year.
In November following his death, the hitmaker appeared in a pre-recorded Girls Aloud interview for ITV.
Then, in August, she was revealed as the new face of skincare brand Nivea which marked her gradual return to the spotlight.

Last week, her killer stalker was jailed once again for breaching a restraining order.
Convicted killer Daniel Bannister, 50, ‘can’t stay away’ from the Girls Aloud star, and has already spent time in prison for the same offence.
At Reading Crown Court on Tuesday, a judge sentenced him to 12 months in jail after he admitted a single charge of breaching a restraining order.
In a victim impact statement, Cheryl revealed she is ‘on edge every time I open my gate’.
Following the sentencing, sources close to Cheryl say she has been ‘in a really bad place’ but Bear is ‘her world’ and she wants to just focus on him, ahead of his father’s first anniversary.
A source close to Cheryl told The Mirror: ‘She’s of course relieved that he’s been jailed, and she just wants to focus on Bear now, but she also knows he started up again after the last time he was jailed too so it’s hard to totally move on.
‘But she’s a fiercely strong woman and Bear is her world, so he’s her only focus right now.’
The source added: ‘Everyone’s hoping she can concentrate on what’s important to her now, and be able to mark the anniversary of Liam’s death properly, without this horrendous thing weighing on her.’
