An impressive hat is a common accessory for those hoping to court attention at the polo.

But former Doctor Who star Karen Gillan certainly didn't need to rely on a headpiece as she attended the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park Polo Club in Ascot on Saturday.

The 25-year-old still boasted an eye-catching look as she showed off her newly-shaved head at the event.

Karen opted for smokey eye make-up and a strong brow with a slick of lip gloss to leave the majority of the attention on her shaven head. 

In terms of her outfit, Karen opted for a black and green tartan minidress with pointed white pumps and a black quilted Chanel handbag. 

Karen accessorised with a gold multi-chain necklace and black nail varnish.

Changing looks: Karen has shaved off her lustrous red hair for her role in new movie Guardians Of The Galaxy

The redheaded actress stunned fans when she unveiled her bald look earlier this month at Comic-Con, by removing her wig during a panel discussion for her new movie Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Karen plays Nebula, a villainous pirate who spends much of her time trying to wipe out entire civilizations, in the 2014 Marvel flick. 

And clearly keen to embrace her new look, Karen has been poking fun at herself on her Twitter page.

Enjoying some bubbles: Karen looked in good spirits, laughing and joking with friends as she enjoyed the event

Referencing former children's TV show Rugrats, which has a redheaded character called Chuckie as well as a bald baby Tommy, Karen tweeted: 'Excited to announce that after long negotiations to play Chuckie in new Rugrats film, I have now been offered the role of Tommy Pickles.'

Karen also took to Twitter on Sunday night to voice her approval after the new Doctor Who was revealed to be Peter Capaldi,.

The pretty actress, who was the assistant to Matt Smith's Time Lord before she left and was replaced by Jenna Coleman, tweeted: 'CAPALDI! Superb choice. Swear I've seen him in Pompeii...'

It's an annual sporting event which sees the likes of Princes William and Harry take to the field to show off their polo-playing prowess.

Katherine, 33, turned heads as she arrived at the event, looking positively showstopping in a plunging monochrome halterneck featuring chic polka dot detail, a pretty ruffle hem and a cinched in waist to highlight her incredible figure.

On Saturday, the Duke of Cambridge lifted the lid on his first days of fatherhood as he made his first public appearance since the birth of Prince George at the charity polo match, joking he would be picking up nappies on his way home.

The 31-year-old, who scored the winning goal for his team, was presented with a mini polo stick for Prince George by Audi UK director Martin Sander after the match.

William jokingly asked if it was nappies, quipping: 'I've got to pick some up on my way home.'

The royal admitted it was 'good to get out of the house' for an afternoon.
Meeting guests afterwards, he added: 'I've got to make sure I'm not too late back.'

And asked about son George, who was born on July 22, he said: 'He likes to move around a lot, he wriggles a lot, he keeps on our toes.'

The Audi Polo Challenge is held each year and this year was in aid of charities SkillForce and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, of which William is patron and president respectively.
