James Haskell showed off his hair transplant on Monday evening as he departed from a swanky private members’ club in London.
The former rugby player, 39, underwent the ‘preventative’ hair transplant last month after growing increasingly worried about his thinning hairline, MailOnline can reveal.
Now, during his latest outing alongside the likes of Holly Willoughby, Oasis legend Noel Gallagher, and actress Patsy Palmer, James showed off his cropped hair as it slowly grows back following the procedure.
The podcaster and DJ also sported thick facial hair and dressed smart casual for the star-studded occasion, during which he appeared to be brimming with confidence.
He appeared in high spirits as he left the venue wearing a black Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt, a khaki T-shirt and blue faded denim jeans.

It comes after James was spotted leaving the Restore Hair Clinic on Harley Street two weeks ago as he departed still wearing a blue hospital gown.
The star showed off his newly shaven head with marks from the hair restoration procedure clearly visible.
A day before the procedure, James told an event in Newcastle that he had been offered the transplant for free and had decided to go ahead with it.
The clinic describes its treatment as: ‘A cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgery. Mastered by an experienced surgeon.’
James has previously discussed his anxiety over his thinning thatch saying two years ago he might get it ‘sorted out’.
He added: ‘Would I have cosmetic surgery? Probably, if I need it.’
‘I’m going to get my hair sorted out at some point because it’s thinning.’
‘Would I start getting Botox and other bits and pieces? Maybe, maybe not, but I don’t think so. Character in the face is important for a man.’

He also addressed the subject of men’s hair loss in his book, writing: ‘The odd thing is (hair loss) affects so many men, yet they are the first to absolutely destroy anyone with a hint of a receder. I look back on teammates that I grilled about their hair and think what a p**** I was, now I am heading albeit slowly the same way.’
‘Men are very odd at times. I get messages telling me, “I think it’s time you shaved your head,” or “Come on mate, get a transplant,” from people I have never met. I think they consider it as banter.’
James is back on the dating scene following his shock split from Chloe Madeley last year after 10 years together.
Earlier this year he was spotted cosying up to a mystery woman in the VIP area during a boozy night out at celebrity hangout Gilgamesh in London.
A source said at the time: ‘James looked like he was having a jolly time surrounded by friends and a number of women.’
‘He’s no stranger to getting female attention and last night was no different.’
‘He was chatting to a mystery lady near the bar for some of the night.’
James is recently single after the ex-England rugby star split from wife Chloe Madeley last year (pictured together at the NTA’s in 2020)
‘They looked like they were really getting on really well and seemed cosy at times.’
‘They were whispering in each other’s ear, smiling a lot and making jokes.’
‘Even if they were just friends, it was good to see James being the life and soul of the party and having a good time.’
In recent weeks, Chloe’s famous father Richard Madeley revealed that the two remain close and even jetted off to France together on holiday, while Chloe herself confessed that they are still ‘very good friends’ and ‘spend loads of time together’.
He revealed they have a ‘very happy uncoupling’ and that the two – who have a two-year-old daughter Bodhi – maintain a ‘very civilised relationship’, with James visiting their house all the time.
