Lizzie Cundy shows off major style transformation as she debuts new natural 'mumsy' hairstyle ahead of son's Venice wedding - after Jeff Bezos' epic nuptials in the Italian city
The former WAG, 57, showed off her jaw-dropping transformation on social media, flaunting a fresh new hairdo and glamorous outfit as she prepared for the huge family milestone.
Lizzie's eldest son Josh, 29, is set to get married later this month in celebrity-hotspot Venice - aptly, just weeks after Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez said 'I do' in the Italian city.
Lizzie shares Josh and her younger son James, 26, with her ex-husband, Chelsea star Jason Cundy, who she was married to from 1994 to 2012.
The proud mother has been busy getting ready for the destination wedding and took to Instagram on Friday to share a video of her glamorous pre-wedding makeover.
Lizzie strutted through a hair salon dramatically revealing her glossy, salon-fresh locks, as she ditched her hair extension in favour of a more natural 'mumsy' look.
Known for her long waist-length tresses, Lizzie rocked a new bouncy blowout as she instead styled her natural locks at shoulder length.
In a caption, she excitedly shared: 'Wedding hair ready.'
The ageless beauty put on a very leggy display in a white blazer dress, complete with bold gold buttons.
She sported a pair of white ankle-strap heels and oversized sunglasses, as she struck sultry poses to the camera as Destiny's Child's Can You Keep Up played over the top.
The Jeremy Vine regular has remained a fixture on the celebrity scene since her days as a WAG.
She was married to former Chelsea and Spurs defender Jason, 55, for 17 years before their split in 2012.
They got married in 1994, after meeting at a nightclub in Richmond, London, but split after Lizzie discovered Jason's affair with opera singer Hannah Pedley.
Despite their rocky break-up, the pair are said to be on good terms.
Lizzie recently opened up about the realities of being a WAG in the noughties as she shared the 'lonely and isolating' reality of her split from her footballer ex.
In the BBC documentary titled Sex After Celebrity, Lizzie revealed the difficulties she faced with being in the public eye at the height of her fame.
She said: 'It was the most awful time when my marriage split up, not just because it was a marriage splitting up and family was being split up, it was because it was on the front page of the papers.
'There's a picture of me in a swimsuit, looking over my shoulder, and it was all about my marriage split, and I didn't even know about it myself. And it was the reaction of other people as well.
'Friends I knew didn't know what to say. The mums at school would cross the road from me because they were embarrassed.
'They didn't really know what to say. So it actually became quite a lonely existence.'
She continued: 'And not knowing who to trust, actually doubting friends, thinking, "Could they have put that story in?" or, you know, "I only told that person, so how did it get in?"
'And quizzing and questioning people that you've known a lifetime. So that side was awful.'
Following the breakdown of her high-profile marriage, Lizzie found it hard to go back into the dating pool.
She explained: 'It's difficult when you've been in a very high-profile relationship and then go into dating, because you have a trust issue. I certainly did.
'And I've actually been on a date where we're sitting there and I've seen him push his phone, and I thought, "I think you're recording me."
'So I just said it out, "Is your phone on? Are you recording?" And he just went, "Yeah..."'
Fast forward to present day, the beauty has found a new lease of life for dating, as she described it was 'great now'.
She went on to date England rugby player Danny Cipriani and has since enjoyed some other relationships out of the public eye.

EXCLUSIVE Katy Perry's secret hurt as Orlando Bloom behaves like 'acting-out adolescent'
Weeks after Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom called it quits, he was spotted with a bevy of beauties, while she fought back tears thousands of miles away onstage in Australia. The British heartthrob, 48, has seemingly been embracing his newfound bachelor status with a week of partying in Italy, including a wild weekend at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding, followed by a star-studded bash onboard a yacht. A disappointed Perry, 40, has been left hurt by his actions since the break up with an insider since telling the Daily Mail how the mom-of-one really feels. 'It's disappointing,' said a source close to Perry, who is currently on her Lifetimes world tour. 'It's hurtful and annoying. If he's going to behave like an acting-up adolescent, that's on him. She's going to continue to work and take care of Daisy.' 'Katy knows that he's free to do whatever the hell he wants to do, she hoped he'd do it a little more discreetly and thoughtfully,' the source continued. 'So she's disappointed and sad.' From a distance, Perry has seen the news coverage of her ex's behavior. He danced the night away as a guest on Bezos' swanky superyacht alongside 450 other VIPs including likes of Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum. Then he was recently spotted chatting up Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, during a water taxi ride as they headed to the airport following the Amazon founder's wedding this past weekend. Fresh from three days partying, Bloom then headed on board Ritz-Carlton's gleaming 794-ft Luminara for its inaugural cruise from Rome. But between parties, Bloom has shared cryptic posts on social media about his heartbreak The Lord Of The Rings star, 48, shared quotes from the late psychiatrist Carl Jung to his Instagram stories after the nine-year relationship ended. 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself,' he wrote. Reposting another quote, Orlando alluded to the darker sides of his life. The quote read: 'Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.' He followed that up by sharing a quote from Gautama Buddha to his seven million followers. 'Each day is a new beginning,' he wrote, 'What we do today is what matters most.' But the Perry insider scoffs at the inspirational quotes and says that the singer believes he is merely managing his public persona. 'He's smart enough to know that the partying is not a good look,' the source grouses. 'But all the quotes in the world from famous philosophers and religious leaders can't change the fact that he's out there doing what he's doing.' When the split was revealed, a source told Us Weekly: 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' while also adding that the separation has been 'not contentious' thus far. 'Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.' Reps for Bloom and Perry did not return the Daily Mail's request for comment. The Teenage Dream hitmaker was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012. Despite Bloom's behavior, Perry's friend says that she is striving to take the split in stride. 'She wishes him all the best,' says the source, 'She just wants to move forward.'
