Cheryl was beaming as she stepped out to a London theatre ahead of her latest performance in 2:22 A Ghost Story on Wednesday. 

The singer, 39, wrapped up warm in a padded coat for her outing which comes  after she caused a stir with her ‘very taut’ complexion. 

She zipped her jacket all the way up to her face to keep out the cold and slipped into a pair of knee-high chunky boots.  

Cheryl styled her brunette hair into tousled waves and pulled it back into a low ponytail. 

The former Girls Aloud star sported a full face of glamorous makeup as she chatted with fans waiting outside the venue.

Her outing comes after some fans were left baffled earlier this week at her appearance. 

However, it’s not the first time that people have been confused by the singer’s ‘changing face’, with many saying that she ‘looked different’ as far back as 2018.  

Cheryl herself has addressed rumours on multiple occasions, exclusively telling MailOnline that it was not due to surgery but down to ‘lack of sleep’, later adding her ‘whole body and face changed’ since having her son Bear in 2017. 

Cheryl raised eyebrows earlier this week as her features appeared markedly different from just a few years ago where her cheeks and lips looked less plumped.

Her look was met by a flurry of online comments from both her’s and ex Liam Payne’s fans who claimed they had been ‘to the same plastic surgeon.’

The One Direction star, 29, set tongues wagging recently with his newly chiseled features after possibly undergoing buccal fat removal.

Taking to Facebook one cheeky fan wrote:  ‘He’s been to Cheryl’s Doctor for some ‘work’.

While another added: ‘Think him and Cheryl must have had plastic surgery at the same time’.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline in 2019, Cheryl hit out at claims that she ‘looked different’ admitting she had ‘one hour’s sleep, which is never good.’ 

Since making her comeback to music the previous year with her single, Love Made Me Do It, there had been speculation that she has had cosmetic surgery after pictures emerged of her face looking ‘puffy’ and ‘frozen.’

‘Do you think I look different?’ she asked quizzically before she offered: ‘The truth was, I had one hour’s sleep that night, which is never good.

‘I stayed up because the single and video dropped at the same time and I was reading the fan reaction on Twitter. It went a bit far and all of a sudden, it was 3am. 

‘I went to bed and got up one hour later. So I put on a wig – the short bob was a wig from the music video. They put my hair back in a plait and then put on the wig. 

‘I was so pale and on the way out of the door, the make-up artist was saying to me, “you’ve got a big pillow crease in your face that I can’t get rid of”. No one had seen the bob, but this is how I’ve always looked.’ 

‘Guess that’s what happens when you go to sleep at 2am and wake up at 5.30am,’ she further echoed on Twitter.

The interview came after she debuted a dramatically different appearance, while admitted her face had ‘completely changed’ since she gave birth to her son Bear in March 2017. 

Previously speaking with the  Sunday Times Style magazine at the time, she said: ‘My whole body, even my face, everything’s changed since Bear was born. 

‘But I feel like I’m better than who I was. I don’t care what my body looks like in that respect. I’m not obsessed about it.

‘I created a life! I’m amazed by myself. And I’m kinder to myself because of it. I focus less on my insecurities because they’re so much less relevant.’
