Contemplating a divorce and a career change? Pray it looks as good on you as it does on Agyness Deyn.

Having ditched the catwalk for California in 2011, Lancashire’s own top model returned to our shores last week.

At the BFI to launch critically acclaimed adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s Sunset Song in her new capacity as a Hollywood starlet, the 32-year-old - who was among the most seminal stars of the Noughties - proved she could rock a red carpet every bit as well she could a Burberry campaign shoot.

Her new look, a softer, more understated incarnation of the plucky punk that won our hearts almost a decade ago, sees Deyn ditch her signature crop (incidentally, the hairstyle du jour among the modelling world’s most recent acquisitions) in favour of the low-maintenance caramel waves which allow her instant A-lister status.

Deyn, who wore a stunning sleeveless buffed leather waistcoat over a lurex top and Perspex-heeled ankle boots (all from Dior’s pre-fall collection) to attend the premier last week, also appears to have taken leave of her much-loved leathers and ripped 10-denier tights.

The former model, who took a brief pause from acting to walk in Hedi Slimane’s latest show for Saint Laurent earlier this month and designs clothing line Title A along with her little sister, is living proof that a slash lifestyle is the route to seamless style. Three cheers for this model/singer/actress/designer/ styleplate.

Agyness, we’re thrilled to have you back.
