New look: Dannii showed off her slicked back hairstyle which looked as though she had had the chop





She's had short hair for a while now but Dannii Minogue appears to have gone even shorter with a cute pixie style.



The mother-of-one debuted her slicked locks, which also looked considerably darker, at the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week opening party.



Dannii, 39, is the ambassador for the week-long event which starts on Monday.





The Australia's Got Talent judge looked gorgeous in a glittery gold dress which had a split down the front, revealing her tanned legs.



She paired the dress with a pair of matching Georgina Goodman shoes.



Dannii said on Twitter she was excited to see what everyone else was wearing.



She added: 'Sun setting over Melbourne and we're ready for the #MSFW opening party. Whoop!'

The fashion week is in its 17th year and attracts more than 80,000 people to the city every year.



This year's program features more than 100 events.



Dannii is a keen fashion designer herself, starting her own line Project D with her best friend Tabitha Somerset Webb.



She said in July when her fashion week role was announced that she was 'honoured to be a part of it'.



'Fashion is something that takes up a lot of my time, between juggling a baby and TV commitments, but it's something that I am very passionate about.'

Dannii will be back in the UK later this month to sign copies of her book Dannii: My Style.



The jet-setter was this week spotted in Thailand on a romantic getaway with her boyfriend, model Kris Smith, 33.



The couple defied rumours their relationship was on the rocks and could not stop grinning as they took elephants for a ride.



Reports had began surfacing earlier this year that the couple were heading for a break up, as Dannii's career takes a toll.



Kris took a backseat to his other half this week when he modeled at the Flemington Spring Fashion Lunch in Melbourne, a run-up to fashion week.



The couple are parents to Ethan,13 months.
