Stephanie Waring showed off her new pixie-style haircut while celebrating her belated bachelorette party on Saturday.
The 46-year-old actress, who played Cindy Cunningham in Hollyoaks for almost three decades until she was axed earlier this year, secretly married her partner Tom Thornton-Brookes in a lavish ceremony in the Maldives in July.
And over the weekend she celebrated her belated hen night with Corrie star Alison King – an event which traditionally takes place before a wedding.
Stephanie showed off her chic sense of style in a cute black dress with a white scalloped hem, while showing off her new hairstyle.
Alongside a photo of herself and Alison, she wrote on Instagram: “Bachelorette party! Second wedding coming up!”

And over the weekend, she celebrated her belated hen night with Corrie star Alison King.
The former soap star sported a blonde bob during her time on the Channel 4 series, but has now swapped it for a pixie look.
After being together for almost four years, Stephanie and Tom tied the knot at the five-star Ifuru Island resort after a last-minute decision.
In photos published by OK! MagazineThe actress looked stunning in an A-line dress with a fitted bustier and embroidered details.
Steph’s daughters Mia, 18, and Lexi, 13, weren’t present at her wedding, but she made sure to FaceTime them to show them her dress.
She told the publication: “When we booked this holiday to the Maldives, Tom said, ‘Do you want to get married? ’ and I just said, ‘Yes. ’”
Tom explained: “I was looking online for where we were going to stay and saw that they catered for weddings. I’m quite an improviser in some ways so it just seemed like the right fit. We jumped at the chance.”
The happy news comes after Stephanie was devastated when Hollyoaks bosses told her she was going to be fired.
The show has become the latest soap opera to be hit by severe budget cuts. They are reportedly planning to reduce their workforce by 40 percent.

The 46-year-old actress has sported several different hairstyles throughout her time on the show.
She has often played the character with a blonde bob, but recently cut her hair into a pixie style.
In a tearful video before her haircut, Stephanie spoke of the toll this has taken on her, saying: “Today I had to say goodbye to some of the team members I’ve been working with for the past 16 years.”

“And I’ve known this for 28 years. And it hit me like a bolt of lightning. I’m going to miss these people so much.”
She went on to say that she has to be positive, otherwise she would “just go down another path.”
Stéphane continued: “For me the important thing is to keep showing up with a smile on my face, but I’m really going to miss everyone and it’s getting closer and closer to having to say goodbye properly.”
