Charles Saatchi, 81, embraces his natural grey hair on outing to his beloved Mayfair restaurant Scott’s for lunch

Charles Saatchi embraced his natural grey hair on an outing to his beloved Mayfair restaurant Scott’s for lunch on Monday.

The businessman, 81, was dining at his favourite haunt in central London where he sported much lighter and longer locks. 

He looked stylish in a pink suit jacket which he teamed with a crisp white shirt and dark trousers. 

As recently as February 2023 he looked dramatically different with slicked back black hair worn in a much shorter style.

He looked in good spirits as he left Scott’s clutching his phone after dining with some friends.

Charles is believed to be single currently after his split from British beauty entrepreneur Trinny Woodall, 60, in 2023.  

It was first reported in March 2023 the relationship had ended, with friends suggesting the 21-year age gap between them was to blame for them going their separate ways.

Two months after Trinny hinted the pair had gone their separate way, Charles was seen enjoying a cosy lunch date with the model Lady Martha Sitwell, 43.

Lady Sitwell later confirmed: ‘Yes, we met for lunch. Charles is a very clever, very funny man.’

Charles was seen ‘canoodling’ with Lady Sitwell in his usual corner table at the Mayfair restaurant Scott’s – where he had previously taken both Trinny and his ex-wife Nigella Lawson, 64.

They split in 2013 after pictures emerged of him grabbing Nigella’s neck while they were dining outside the exclusive venue.

Trinny revealed to podcaster Elizabeth Day in January this year: ‘I have been in a relationship for ten years, and whatever people choose to believe or read, I know I have been in love with the person I was in a relationship with, and I had good years in that relationship.

‘But I also know that I got to a stage where I knew I was not happy in it. And that’s a very tough thing. Because a relationship becomes familiar.’

She added: ‘Oddly, I never thought, ‘I’m scared to be on my own’. That’s something that didn’t occur to me at all. It was more, ‘Do I feel quite on my own in the relationship?’ And I did. I got to a stage where I felt on my own.

‘So then in the end it was about, “OK, I have the power to do what I want to do”. So I just then thought, “OK, I’m going to move on”. And it was difficult, because any change is difficult.’

Trinny is a successful businesswoman, having launched a popular beauty and skincare brand, Trinny London, said to be worth £180million.

Her products sell to 200 countries and this month released a book, titled Fearless which covers everything from money to addiction and IVF.
