She's known for her trademark auburn locks.
And breaking the rule that red and green should never be seen, Nicola Roberts stunned in a flowing sage gown as she attended Gabrielle's Gala fundraiser at Old Billingsgate, London, on Wednesday.
The former Girls Aloud star, 28, wore a floor-length silk dress featuring spaghetti straps and a plunging neckline and back.
