The trademark ballet slippers, eyeliner and bouffant hair are still there.<\/p>\n

Regulars at Amy Winehouse’s old Camden haunts may not have recognised her though, when she paid a visit to her favourite stomping ground last night.<\/p>\n

The singer looked like a different person – healthy and happy – as she enjoyed a night out in north London.<\/p>\n

\n\"Night<\/p>\n

Night on the town: Amy Winehouse showed up to her old Camden haunts the Hawley Arms and Proud Gallery last night<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amy stopped by The Hawley Arms before heading to Proud Gallery, where she stayed until three in the morning.<\/p>\n

But despite the late hour, Amy emerged looking fresh and together, a far cry from her dishevelled and distressed appearances falling out of clubs at the height of her drug and alcohol abuse.\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Worrying pictures of the 27-year-old were commonplace as recently as a year ago, but now the star says she’s on the straight and narrow – and it shows.<\/p>\n

Amy was dressed casually in jeans, and a black jacket over a hot pink shirt. <\/p>\n

\n

New woman: Amy looked happy and healthy, compared to her worrying appearance in 2007<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Her favourite pink ballet slippers were in pristine condition, compared to the now famous images of her bloodied shoes after a fight with her former husband Blake Fielder-Civil in 2007.<\/p>\n

Amy is insisting that she has been clean and drug free for a year,
\nafter seeing a photo of herself last January looking wild, gaunt and covered in cuts.<\/p>\n

She told Look magazine: ‘I’ve finally escaped from hell. Before I came out here I looked at a photo of myself in the paper and was horrified.<\/p>\n

‘My skin was a spotty mess and I was so pale and skinny. I thought: “Girl, you’ve got to sort yourself out or
\nyou’ll be dead soon”.’<\/p>\n

\n
\n\"Comeback:<\/p>\n

Comeback: Amy, pictured in Rio in January, is back to performing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2011 has been a jetsetting year for the star so far, with trips to Rio and Dubai already under her belt.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month Amy travelled to Dubai where she performed at the Dubai Festical City Concert Arena.<\/p>\n

The gig didn’t go to plan though, and the Valerie singer ended up being booed off stage.<\/p>\n

Her spokesperson explained at the time: ‘Amy had technical problems and couldn’t hear herself during the gig. One of her in-ear monitors wasn’t working properly.’<\/p>\n

In January she performed in Rio De Janeiro, and stayed in the luxurious\u00a0 \u00a3700-per-night Santa Teresa hotel.<\/p>\n

She reportedly pocketed a cool \u00a35 million for five shows in the South American country.<\/p>\n
